Letting My Negative Thoughts Get Me Down
This can happen; I believe sometimes it is necessary, or at least natural.
We can find ourselves in ruts and non-positive loops, perhaps thought processes and assessments that are largely critical. Not being fully employed and wondering about the next step, when thinking that the next 11 years were more or less planned and thought of as a way forward for success in my life, and my family with me. That a little over a month ago.
But things are never finite, or one hundred percent: life is not guaranteed to provide health, success, or fortune. Some things are not in our control.
Those things that we can control, at times we do not control very well. Or, we can have many weaknesses and frailties that prevent us from performing as well as we would like.
Mistakes. Judgments in error. Mishaps. Simply wrong decisions or poor abilities. These things get in our way. Or, I know that they have gotten in the way of me. Lack of capacity or certain types of intelligence.
Being too slow or not adept. Sounds like dumb. Not smart enough.
I can be smart at certain things but not good enough at others.
That is some of the negativity that I am dealing with. Not good enough, not smart enough.
Sometimes lazy, or less dedicated and motivated? Check those boxes, too.
Ouch. Hard time to be so negative. Especially when I collect reasons that those conclusions are true.
Not all my negative thoughts are unfounded.
Yeah.
I have to get my reasons to be more up, despite the things that I know have brought me and others down.
Things will work out, others say. I get my hopes up.
I must work on what I can. And not get too stuck in negativity.
Here's to the future! Things will work out. Or else.
Cheers.
I have (added since I "cut myself off, in comments below) to keep on keeping on. Watch and pray, and use the tools that I know of in order to overcome. My beliefs in God can be a part of it. Or maybe could be the biggest part? God is all powerful, and we believe He makes all right.
Whoops. Cut myself off.
