Imagine Your Life Without the Negative
Day 3 of a positivity experiment.
Hi there!
Tuesday’s Journal Prompt: Imagine your life without the negative thought you’re hiding. Write an entry about how your life would be different with that negativity gone.
Before the sun peeks through my white vertical blinds, I know it will be a good day. Gone are the days where I fought feelings of low self-worth or imposter syndrome.
I sit up, a grin on my face, ready to tackle my agenda. Sitting in front of my bright monitor, I click the red mouse to wake up the computer. Fingers meet keys, and a best-selling novel appears on the screen.
That’s how I imagine a perfect writer's day would be. Reality is usually a painful slap in the face when I wake up in the morning. The sun can feel like an enemy, and the cursor on the computer monitor mocks me when no words will come.
Even if you could get everything together, there would still be bad days. At least some. There would be times you made mistakes, tripped in public, or spilled a glass of water all over the table during a business lunch.
Humans and messy creatures, and you’re human. So accept the mess and the bad days. Most failures are not fatal, so acknowledge it and move on.
Wednesday’s Journal Prompt: Describe a recent situation where things didn't go as planned. How did you handle it, and what did you learn from the experience? How can accepting your imperfections help you grow?
Until next time, keep fighting.
