The fastest way I can think of to leave unwanted thoughts behind is recall that they originate from you yourself. you’ve decided how you feel about things, whether or not it is re-enforced by others, it is still ultimately how “You” (singular) decided to allow yourself to feel.
ego’s reflection
Thinking in terms of fault or blame is also not good. Perhaps better to say, “Have I accidently set myself up for feeling bad by dwelling on what was wrong with the situation instead of what I can do to make it better.
The other way is to change the ‘ego’ of things (where we are always thinking of our problems first) to a we-go experience! think beyond yourself by thinking of others. Focusing on what’s wrong with yourself and your life is much harder when you are focused on making something right for someone else!

Journal Entry ~
This morning I woke up very early, my problems weighing on my mind. Well actually it started with my cat waking me up extremely early and things pretty much went downhill from there. It’s a little later now and I’m back in balance with my thoughts. It is amazing how easy it is to set oneself up for a lousy day, pre-determining results with negative thinking. I’m good to go now!

Some times it is too easy to go to a bad place … but try to start off with good thoughts to begin your day.
Thanks for visiting me,

The Why About This 
Penny, I was just writing about this in my journal and have been focusing of late on that pattern…making quite the difference in my outlook…great post!
Thank you Meryl, it is amazing how we can set ourselves up, isn’t i?. Sometimes I catch myself in time – others, well you know the drill lol! Again my thanks, hope you’re all set for Christmas!
Beautiful flowers and a timely reminder to us all – thank you 🙂
I love flowers in general, I believe you do also, they are lovely all by themselves and a reminder that there is much beauty to be thankful and positive about!:)
We should always wake up and envisage a positive day ahead of us. It is anew day , so everything is a new start. Make it a happy start and not much will go wrong! x
I completely agree with you Ute. Great thoughts, thank you, have an excellent evening and week ahead my friend! 🙂
Beautiful reminder to focus on being happy and changing our perspective. I agree with what you said very much (:
Thank you Lila, also for your visit, you have a lovely blog btw! 🙂
You’re welcome. Kind of you to say! Happy to see you followed back (:
My pleasure to do so! xx

dang…I never thought an inspriring blogger would rekindle my horrible&painful 3″ cochroach memory.uggg 😦 If I can’t control this memory, I’ll be paying a visit to Mr.J.Walker.
You’re a nut! 🙂 Albeit a cool one! 🙂
pardon?? I feel like I was minding my own business whistling down the street, checking out the tulips, and somebody drops an anvil on me.lol…Yes! I’m pulling out my victim card on this one, Penny.
You have a victim card. Hey that’s really cool, it is official and everything?
its laminated, so yes, it is offical.
Okay then, as you are an official victim, how may I assist you with your memory of the 3 inch cockroach that is now in your thoughts. You know in Florida they fly!
I’m pretty sure these things are radioactive mutants. I’ve seen them glide with their wings open.lol

I read your post and commented. Definitely might want to rethink Florida re: retirement!
I know of people thats using Florida as their primary resident, for tax purposes, and they just travel up and down the coast in their house boat 🙂 No roach problem on the ocean 🙂
Yes, the inner water ways are perfect for that! And you’re right, no cockroaches! 🙂
Needed this reminder today…thank you! Oh….love the journal entry addition…a LOT! 😀 Hugs & Love ~
Thank you so much, greatly appreciate your comments Christina, Hope your tomorrow is a wonderfully Christmasy one! With great love and affection. 🙂
Thank you…wishing the same for you!! 😀 Hugs ~
Thanks, I plan to! 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful thoughts! “Let go” is not always easy for every one…
I’m thinking it’s never easy Amy, worth the effort, but sometimes very hard to do!
Hope the day keeps getting better & better. The other day I woke up with an odd feeling – must have been something I dreamt – but – couldn’t remember. When I got to work – I turned on some happy tunes while getting things done & that feeling quickly went away.
Sending hugs & love
Oh – & smiles too!
xx 🙂 🙂
Wow, all three, thank you RoSy, loving ’em! 🙂 xxoxx

I do not understand this post . I must have this before holiday time – missed something – I hardly comprehended
I can see that how I’ve laid things out could be confusing dear friend, I;m still trying to improve the presentation of my words!
It OK with love maxima 🙂
The mind is so powerful but we have to choose what power we give it. Sometimes though it really does take some darkness to know the light and it’s not too bad to embrace the negative – just not for too long! Happy you balanced quickly Penny
Hi Leslie, thanks ~ My self discovery of the day (actually made my week!) It’s when the subconscious lets go and allows a negative to expand itself out so that one’s ‘id’ can walk right through the internal turmoil to the other side, who knew – not me! Expanded awareness ~ an excellent thing! 🙂
We’ll said!! It is the subtle changes in thought that make enormous differences in attitudes.
Thanks, hope your weekend is being a great one for you!
Sometimes we go to a bad place and start to feel sorry for ourselves and, and as a result we find it hard to drag ourselves back out of there.
I like the idea of changing from “ego” to “we-go”
Glad you’re feeling more on top of things now Penny.
Thank you Alastair. I’m doing very well my friend! 🙂
I’m glad 🙂

That was thoughtful and helpful 🙂
Thank you Mridula, I am glad it was so! 🙂
