Taking the Positive and Running With It

         Today was a good day over all. I have always had a hard time taking things people comment about and making it personal. But today I was pretty proud of myself because I choose see the fact that I did my best and if this individual had a such a problem with it , they could get over it and move on because it wasn't that big of a deal to begin with. I am proud because in the past I would begin to say negative things in my brain about how awful I am or stupid but today I choose to instead say... you did your best and the students learned some thing and they had fun and you even enjoyed yourself.  I am a work in progress I like to say rather then I am not perfect. I feel like a work in progress means ... you got good things going on with you and you are adding more onto it. 

         I also received a compliment from my supervisor through another co-worker that the children had fun while I was in their class and they really liked me ! So I always choose to record the positive compliments I get because I can look back at them when I am feel down or incapable and remember I am loved and appreciated.  Seeing the positive is pretty hard but as I have been doing it , I feel better.I still have my down moments but I feel like my down moments aren't nearly as frequently or low as they use to be.  I also rely on the Lord as much as I can because getting through some moments or days seems unbearable. I am so grateful for that strength and peace God gives me each day. I am know that I will always have trials but choosing to see the good in all things helps the journey to be brighter and less stressful. 

So remember to see the positive in all.... because it will help through and God will definately give you the strength too.
