Of course my direction for 2016 is UP.
This reminds me of the quote, "Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how your react to it."
Things are going to happen, as I learned last year. It is not your situation or what happens to you that determines where you are going. It is how you handle it. Of course, we are allowed time to grieve, deal, adjust, or whatever may fit the situation. I took plenty of time for that. However, at some point we have to resolve to forge on. For me, it is almost giving myself permission to let go and move on from those negative situations that drug me down to begin with.
Giving myself permission to move forward and set new goals has been helpful to finally getting over some of the hurdles I've been tripping up on. Everything is not perfect; my mind still wanders to the what-ifs, and there are still times that I feel inadequate. I am more easily overwhelmed, for example. It is getting easier, though. And I do feel like my attitude and readiness to go for "it" (whatever it might be in the moment) have been huge in getting around this curve.
This year, this month, this week - I am choosing to be positive. I am going to have an attitude to allows me to move forward, to look up and move up and improve myself.
