Monday's used to bug me. I used to hate getting up and dragging back into the office. Then a few things happened. I realized if I changed my outlook I could change my attitude. I began to focus on what I liked about my office. That made me look forward to going.
Why did I call this Monday Musings? I have a friend who only has insomnia on work nights. I asked her did she like her job. She emphatically said NO. Now I'm no psychologist, but I know I had the same issue when I was in a job I detested. I hated the commute, the office politics, and the environment. I would have trouble sleeping and have to make that hour plus commute on very little sleep. I started to focus on what I liked (and it was hard to find things but I focused on the few bright spots.) It eased my anxiety somewhat until I could get another job.
In all situations now, I now try to think of the bright side.
I am grateful to do what I love for a living.
I am grateful to have a job that allows me to meet my needs and indulge in some of my wants.
I am grateful for co-workers with a great sense of humor.
I am grateful for the "coffee club"
I am grateful for a 10 minute commute.
Developing an attitude of gratitude helps me have a restful sleep on most nights.
Thanks for reading. 📖

This is so true and I have been trying to apply it to all aspects of my life. Sometimes, it's a challenge..a HUGE challenge...but I am making the effort. Hopefully, one day it will be like breathing and become 2nd nature to me to find the beauty in every single person I come across.
ReplyDeleteRight. It is very challenging because I have always been skeptical of a persons motives. I am trying to see that some people don't want anything but your time.
