Take THAT you negative faeries!!

Yesterday,I had the day from hell...

or so I thought.

I texted my friends here that when I had days like this where all I could see was what I did wrong...it makes it very hard to disprove the negative voices that are saying "See, we WERE right- you ARE a fuckup".

Then,it hit me...I should make a list of what I did wrong and right.

I started with the right things- right being things Id accomplished correctly, competently or just completed even if they werent perfect.

I came up with 11 things.

Then I counted the things that had been plaguing me all day...weighing me down with guilt and grief and a feeling of total incompetence.

I counted only 6.

And came up with one more good thing.

Finding a weapon I can use against the negative faeries.

Rational, positive thought.

Wow...it really DOES work!

Try it sometime when you are in the depths of negativity.

Even just thinking of ONE good thing Id accomplished started my mind going to the positive side. And it wasnt a big huge thing...all it was was that Id gotten out of bed instead of staying there like I really wanted to.

And, when I tallied up the "bad" things? They didnt amount to a hill of beans! As one of my friends replied "Did anyone croak?Did you get fired?"

My answer was nope.

*off to sharpen my arrows for the next battle*
