You're In Control

A positive attitude can truthfully change and better your life

You're In Control

When you are positive and have positive thoughts, you attract positive things and positive experiences. This is just science and the basic law of attraction. Like attracts like. I'm not trying to convince of you of anything, it's fact. Your thoughts are electromagnetic waves, essentially energy that affect your mind, brain and body. And these thoughts attract similar circumstances or experiences. Therefore, if your mind is having negative thoughts then it's going to react by having negative feelings, and then you're going to have negative experiences and a negative outlook on what is happening or could happen to you. On the other hand if you have thoughts of contentment, openness and happiness, your body is going to react by having those feelings and it will attract those types of experiences.

When people are left in this world without this knowledge, without the ability and power to be in control of the experiences they have and their destiny, they resort to dealing with what gets dealt to them, as if their whole life is on shuffle mode, but all along they've had the ability to pick and choose which song they want to hear.

Now that I've told you that you're in control, you probably want some tips for when you feel like you're not... and I have that too.

First off, if you're nervous, scared or hesitant about anything, you probably need some confidence. A good way to get an instant boost of confidence is to strike power poses. There are lots of different ones to choose from, but essentially any stance or sit that opens you up and relaxes you out. Stand like Superman with your hands on your hips, elbows sticking out and feet set wide apart. Breath in and out for about two minutes in each and every pose, and feel the anxiety leave you as you breath in new positivity, and emanate it outwards.

And my second tip is to think positive thoughts! Even if it's the craziest thing to do and you're 110% sure it's not going to work out. Even if it's fake and you're just trying to make yourself laugh. Sometimes, just sometimes, things work out and good things happen, because for a split-second you decided to change your mentality and decided that you're in control. Decide to have a good experience.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
