On Sunday evening I was mad at something someone said to me.
I kept on thinking about it and as I thought about it I got madder and madder.
Then I started to think about all the responses I should have said to that person and I got even madder and madder.
That made me stop enjoying everything around me and oh boy that got me very mad.
I stopped enjoying my kids and I remained very mad.
Then I got mad at myself for being so annoyed at something so inconsequential and for ruining my own evening so I got madder and madder still.
Negative thoughts can fester if I allow it to. I can control how my days turn out by just trying to change the way I think from negative to positive. It takes practise to think postitively and I am still practising the art.
My blog helps. Blogging helps me put my day into a postive mode. Writing about positive stuff sets of the positive train of thoughts going and the positive chain reaction that follows. So as far as possible I will refrain from ranting, raving and venting here.
