Prayer, Plan, and Attitude Can Keep It Positive

I had a crazy week last week with things  that where going on in my life.  Again, trying to maintain balance at home and at work can be a task that is hard to do.  I believe that in the world that we live in, there may be times when you are around negative people, no matter how you slice it, you will be effected in some way. It feels like they take your energy and use it for destruction. I believe that negativity is like a harmful virus of the soul that when it is not guarded can be infected and infect others.  I leaves a bad taste and odor in a place to the point where is seeps out havoc and confusion. It can make you literally physically ill and unable to function.  It drains the body of its life and can close out the light you once had. This happened to me to the point where I couldn’t even write last week on my blog. When situations take you away from something you love to do it is not worth doing it or being around that negative person. Negative situations and people are very dangerous and harmful for your health.  We all need to realize when this happens to us where to go and what to do in a situation so it won’t take you under.  That is why I have made a plan and am taking action.  Here are the three things that can stop the the infection of negativity and help you to the direction of recovery.

I would like to tell you three things that can keep you on the right track when any type of situation like this happens.  Now these are not in order mind you.  There are just things that you can do ( doesn’t matter the order) that can stop the negative elements that may seep in your life to cause you to get unbalanced. The first thing I would say to do is pray.  Prayer changes things. I know that some people don’t believe in it but I am a firm believer in prayer.  I have seen things that have happened to me and other people to know that there is a God. As a devout Christian I try to pray ( without ceasing). This can gives you a chance to say what is bothering you. I know in my own experiences it has showed me who is really in charge of my life.  I am not.  It gives you a foundation on what is major and minor. Keeps you looking up instead of down.  God is then the answer and you are to look for him for comfort and listen for his calling. God wants to know what is bothering us and whether we are to stay in that situation or will leave, it teaches us patience and shows us that we are to count on Him for comfort.  Whether you write a prayer or say it, letting go helps ease anxiety and lifts ones spirits.

The second thing I recommend is make get moving.  There  is an old African proverb that says “Pray and move your feet”. That is so true.  When you pray there is a time for action and a plan.  Ask yourself, what is it that you can do in this certain situation or find yourself doing that you need to stop (this is if you are the one being negative).  Know how to tackle the situation or person.  What to do and to say.  There is a reason for action.  It gives direction.  It shows that there needs to be a change (whether mentally or physically) to shape your mind to deal with the situation.  Everyone always things that change is a physical act. It usually starts with a change of mindset.

Third is change your attitude. This is very important.  This what happens on the inside.  In times of our lives we will have things that happens to us whether it is good or bad.  You attitude is what happens on the inside to help you how to deal with them. During the day we have all kinds of thoughts and feelings. An attitude is a choice.  I try to tell my children this all the time.  I would rather be around someone who didn’t know what they where doing and had a good attitude than someone who had a bad attitude and acted like a know it all. It does make a difference.  And what is so wonderful about it that you have the power to change it in that very instant.  Think happy or pleasing thoughts.  This is one form of action that you can take to either shun a way negativity or change yours.

I believe this is in overall daily life. Whether at home or the work place: prayer, a plan and attitude and make all the difference on how you deal with your life and other people.  Make it help to change your life and the life of others.
