Jobs and positiveness can it happen?

A year of positiveness or at least taking small steps in that direction is challenging, especially towards my job. I know, if I would only speak positively about my job, boss, employee's and customers I won't be so stressed out...I think. Well, here goes I am going to work on speaking positively and reacting positively...this is going to take a lot of discipline.

So, when the boss comes down and starts talking to me as if I have no clue to what I am doing (I have only been doing this same mundane job for over 4 years and not much changes)I will remember to take a deep breath, sheath the claws and remember that she is just making sure everything is getting done properly.

When an irrate customer comes up to complain bitterly about losing all their money (that they chose to put in the machines), I will remember they are not yelling at me personally but at the company I work for.

Finally, I will keep my mouth shut about any and all employees. It isn't worth the drama that happens when the person you are bitching about (thought you were telling someone in confidence) is told about what you were upset about and continues to act childish towards you. If I wanted them to know I would have told them myself. Sometimes you just need a bitching session but having one at work is never a good idea.

Wow, this is a lot to remember. See, I have this problem of making too BIG of goals. How about this I will just remember to chant, "I like my job, I like my job", and will call it good.

Realization:

Small steps, small steps.

Affirmation:

My job helps supply my needs and wants it is a good job with good employees and a good boss. I like my job, I am thankful for my job and all that it gives me.

New Year, New Beginning of Small Steps

The new year has begun and this year for resolutions, (mind you I am thinking of these 4 days after the new year), I have decided to resolute something different. Instead of saying, "I will get in shape; I will stop drinking Pepsi; I will be more out going", I have decided this is the year of trying to be more positive towards myself and who I have become.

No more putting myself down, or saying hateful things about me or anyone else for that matter. This is one very hard thing to do, but I believe for my spiritual, mental and physical well-being it is a matter of great importance. So, (huge breath in) here I go. Small steps. I know that I am not going to become master guru in one day, or Gandhi in two but little steps count.

Now if only I can lock all those who annoy me away...that would pretty much be everyone I come in contact with so, I better try harder on being positive.

Realization:

This world does not revolve around me no matter how much I think it does. There is always some one out there with a much more horrible life story than mine. Also, to look at each person I encounter and realize they have love, hate, joy and sadness in their life too, and maybe all they need from me is a smile.

Affirmation:

Breath, just breath and let go, it's not worth hanging on to anger, especially when is really isn't going to matter 5 minutes from now.
