Just Sharing

I was in pittsburgh all week for training. It was really good. Usually training is just a week of sitting there bored out of your mind. It wasn't like that. I met some really great people from all over Texas, Arkansas, Michigan. I also learned a couple things that I think apply to personal life as well as professional.
3 to 1 rule. This one is my favorite. Three positives for every one negative. I know it sounds cheesy, but try it. It works. If you are sad, think about three things that make you happy and then allow yourself to think about the one thing that makes you sad. All of a sudden the sad part isn't such a big deal. If you are angry at someone, think of three reasons you like them, then think about the one reason you are angry. See not such a big deal after all. (Depends on the person, if the one thing is bigger than the other three, consult my sister for advice on toxic people and how to remove them from your life.)
The hard part of course is applying this. It takes a personal effort to make it work. I am going to try my best to use it as much as possible. It is amazing how much better you feel when you concentrate on the positives instead of the negatives. This world is way to negative, it is refreshing. Ok, enough sharing...I am going shopping.
