This morning as I was headed out to our office, The Center of Success, Michael said, “Don’t be surprised if your car doesn’t start.”
OK, I get it. It’s below freezing, and my car might not start. That’s a thought I don’t want to hold on to. Do I really want to put my attention on that negative worry? Cuz if I do, I’m inviting a bucket full of repetitive worries that is guaranteed to make me feel bad.
So what’s the possibility of my car starting when I turn the key? It’s colder in Michigan and Alaska, and cars start all the time. It’s only been 0 degrees for a day.
At that moment I made a conscious decision to eliminate that worry and shift my thought to a more positive one: I like the idea that my car starts just fine.
And it did. And here I am. In my office. Warm and snug.
I just hope my car starts at the end of the day.
My father’s gruff voice popped into my mind. “I’m not being negative, I’m just being realistic!”
Uh oh.
Here comes another negative thought.
Gotta turn that thought away fast and focus on my car starting and everything working out fine.
No matter what happens, those pesky negative thoughts and worries keep showing up.
I’m just glad I’ve learned to let them go.

I love it. We call negative thoughts as practical… LOL. I see practical as something more… well practical and tangible… LOL, such as use a good quality cocoa for a better recipe outcome. 🙂
