Day 13 a little frustrated 6/9/2011

 

Working with Tools, I have noticed I am much more positive in the morning, but by late afternoon things start to fall apart and bad habits and negative attitudes creep up on me. I feel frustrated and I wonder if I am getting anywhere with this? I find it easy to say, "My attitude is my decision and I am deciding to have a good one.", when there is nothing happening, but when someone is pushing my buttons it is very difficult for me to keep control of my mood and not be reactive, no matter how many times I say, "my attitude is my decision." I have always been very sensitive to conflict and it is hard for me to break out of the grey mood that overcomes me after being in an argument with someone.

I started tools because I want structure, a way to focus on my goals stay consistent and accomplish more. I have ADD which means I am interested in many things and have many, many unfinished projects, and it is hard for me to prioritize. I am turning 40 and it feels like I have had very little success in my life. I am tired of being a "struggling artist" I am ready for success, which means to me making a living at what good at and I enjoy, (creating things).

Persistance

Persistance Pays....Keep your chin up and role with the punches. If your struggling your learning how to win just a matter of time. Day by day if you catch yourself getting negative. Nip it in the butt. You got this...Faster than a tick in a New York minute.

The checklist helps

It might work for you.  I found that printing the checklist and looking at it during those questionable periods causes the state change I need.

And.... after you print it.... be sure to make it look pretty.  :)
