Tell Me Something Good #72

Do you know how, when your mood is not really good, you sort of feel as if everything is slightly grey and heavy? You do? Well how about we try to change that and make a little effort to feel a bit better by simply imagining we sparkle and shine? And in doing so making the start into this day, into this week a much better one?

It’s easy:

• Mention something that you consider being good in the comments
• Or write a post about it on your blog (please don’t forget the pingback if you do so I don’t miss out and also share the link to it in the comments below). Something good that happened to you recently, or something good you will experience in a little while, or something good you know will happen soon. Something that makes you feel good.
  
• Share this post and invite your followers as well.

Before I share my positive thing with you today how about we all just relax a little bit? Just lean back, breathe deeply and let go of all the tension we might carry with us? Another deep breath and maybe stretch a little bit. And then another little stretch, another deep breath and we are ready to go, right?

And when you are ready then here is what I’d like to share with you today:

“I know I didn’t deliver on the weekend. There was no My Picks Of The Week post. Not that I didn’t read any posts that were worth sharing. In the contrary. But time just totally got away from me. I promise I will have an extra long list next weekend. The last couple of days have been super busy, leading up to a tournament I was in charge organizing. A tournament with 600 soccer playing girls involved. It was a big day, with lots of soccer, many many many big smiles on happy kids faces and the weather… well… the weather could have been worse. Not only do I look back to it with a smile on my face because of so many girls having had a blast, but also because I have learned a lesson once again.

Maybe not the best lesson but an important one: You can have many, many people being happy and content with something and one person complaining and it’s the person who complains who gets to you. I learned that it’s my decision though if I let this person get to me. It’s my decision if I allow this person space in my head and heart. If I let this person bully away all the happy people. I’m in charge. I allow this person to be in my head but I can also kick this person out of this space. It’s up to me. Today, while still being exhausted but with a little bit of distance I realize that I’m in control. I can control if I have a happy memory or a bad one. And I for sure will now allow all the happy people to “move back” in my head and heart and fill my up with that feel good feeling of having successfully delivered a great event to hundreds of kids.”
