Trying to Stay Positive

I decided to start this blog today as a way of venting out some of my frustrations when it comes to my fitness life as well as my personal life. I have a blog on bodybuilding.com but this allows me to talk a little bit more outside the world of bodybuilding.

Yesterday I was having one of those bad days where it seems like everything is falling apart (myself included). The bad luck started on Sunday when my puppy broke the windshield wiper handle..so now it just kind of dangles there. Great! Of course that was not enough for him so yesterday he felt it necessary to jump outside our second story window to chaise a dog that was being walked by a kid probably around 6. The kid was scared obviously n ran...not good! Nothing happened but I went down and apologized-do not think it made a difference. I should mention I was not home for any of this so that was even worse! Plus I had a little bit of personal drama going on on top of the stupid puppy situation along with getting everything ready to move, school, finding a job and deciding to not do a competition. All of these things really disappointed me yesterday!

Today I am going to try and think positively: everything can be solved or it works itself out. Stressing and being negative only makes the situation worse. The car can be fixed, my puppy is okay n nothing happened and I plan to compete in the spring so I need to concentrate on being at my best now! Not just physically but emotionally as well. As for school, well all I have to do is try my best, work hard and I will reap the rewards.

I think I carry a lot of daily baggage I do not need too.. so today and every other day I am going to do my best to look at everything with the glass is half full approach.
