It's A Choice

This morning, I woke up feeling terrible. Not physically, but emotionally. I felt as if I wanted nothing to do with this day and would have rather went straight back to bed. Why? Good question, because I don't think I even know what was going on. All I know was that I felt as if I needed to go back to bed and wake up just to start the day over. But would that really help? It might have, but what if it wouldn't have? Would I just have to keep going back to bed and waking up until I felt so much better about things? Why waste all of that time when I could choose to look at things differently? Rather than thinking that this day is a waste and that there is no reason for me to even do anything, I can choose to look at all of the things that I need to do and not focus on the negatives going on around me. I have control over how I perceive the things going on around me. I can choose to be negative or I can choose to be positive. Obviously, choosing to think negatively and isolate myself will not do any good. As I sit here typing this, so many negative thoughts continue to flood my mind, but I have a choice to respond to them or truly look at them for what they are. They are nothing more than things that are going to bring me down and have no purpose. If they had a purpose, of course I would choose to explore them, but they don't. Today is going to be a good day, and I have the choice to decide that.
