Your Attitude Is The GPS To Your Life

Bad Day? It's All in Your Head

Your Attitude Is The GPS To Your Life
Alfield Reeves

"Today's just not my day" is a phrase we all use every now and then. It's okay, that's apart of being a human. That's apart of having feelings, both good and bad. I'm going to say that one more time, that it's okay. In fact, you're okay. But be sure to keep in mind, a bad day doesn't equal a bad life.

Whenever you feel like your day is just going totally sour, give yourself a pep talk. It can be out loud or just in your head. You could even write it down on a piece of paper. In order to change your bad day into a good one you're going to have to convince yourself.

Speak your positive attitude right into existence. Tell yourself you can make it through the day because you can. Talk to someone that always makes your day. Buy your fav fast food, take a new route home for different scenery- but whatever you do, don't allow yourself to go to bed frustrated.

We have these icky days to appreciate the ones that feel perfect. The ones that we go to sleep smiling about. The ones we share with people around us that we care about. As I mentioned earlier, it's normal you feel this way. It's so easy to think negatively sometimes. But just as easy as it is to tell yourself how crappy your day is, it's just as easy to tell yourself that it's a great day.

Your attitude is like the GPS in your car. It directs you. Just like the GPS in your car, you can adjust/ change your attitude. The more positive thoughts you have, the better the road is you travel on. The better life gets.

There are a lot of things in life we will never be able to change, but our attitudes will always be up to us.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
