choosing gratitude 🙏🏼 focused on the positive ☀️

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Life is unpredictable. There are many unexpected problems that will pop up, and I’ve found that two things help me sail choppy water during the day.

Both are done in the morning: A) read a few pages of Stoicism, like Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, and B) control at least a few things you can control.

First, for A, here is one Marcus Aurelius quote on my refrigerator that often does the trick:

“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own—not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me.”

Now, B) control what you can control. No matter how shitty your day is, no matter how catastrophic it might become, you can make your bed.

And that gives you the feeling, at least it gives me the feeling, even in a disastrous day, that I’ve held on to the cliff ledge by a fingernail and I haven’t fallen.

Consider your choices wisely!!!learning a lot right now gaining lots of new understanding in reality and choice theory.. fascinating stuff! Choices=consequences.. good or bad.. use discretion . Think! What are your goals?.. Do your choices align with your goals.adjust accordingly

The reason to deliberately do hard things is so that when non-self-elected challenges arrive (& they will), you can tell yourself: “I don’t know how this is all going to turn out, but I am certain I can do hard things.” Don’t self injure. But doing hard things is always worthwhile.

Don’t TELL your children what to do…
SHOW them by:
- Eating healthy
- Going to bed early
- Pursuing your passion
- Being kind & respectful to others

Your kids won’t follow your advice.
They’ll follow your example.

America loves quick fixes
& magic pills.

Hydroxycut for weight loss.
Door-dash for convenience.
Waist trainer for showing abs.

People will spend days searching
for weight loss pills but they won’t
take a 20 minute walk.

Our society has warped priorities.

[Dr. Henry Cloud @DrHenryCloud]

If you are willing to be the kind of person who takes responsibility for what you can do and change your focus from what you cannot control, you can improve the situation or solve the problem.

Let be good humans.. like you know.. thoughtful, respectful, helpful, not so selfish. Loving..maybe?.. this world is filled with so much anger and hatred. A little kindness stands out in such ugliness.

A new study found that just one 5min deliberate cold exposure session (20C/68F; which isn’t that cold!) elevated mood & reduced negative affect & changed resting state connectivity in brain networks associated with positive affect (for the “better”). https://t.co/Fa137RMUIW
