Life is all about balance. I forget this all the time. I find myself holding on to grudges, feeling guilty, having negative thoughts, and worrying about things I cannot control. Other times I realize that I'm not following the path that I believe to be correct, I become lazy, I become selfish, I feel entitled to breaks, and like I earned things that I have not. All of these things come from a loss of balance. I don't hold on to the positive, and I hold on to the negative.
Bad things happen all the time. I know I cannot stop bad things from happening, and I need to learn to adjust to them and learn from them. I need to appreciate the challenges that life presents. I need to learn to appreciate the people in my life. I need to learn to let go of my cell phone. I need to learn to stop going on the internet when I'm bored.
I look at my computer screen 80% of the day because I'm in school. I often find myself distracted by Facebook or other BS websites where I'm just wasting time. I'm not connecting to people or using the sites in a positive way. I feel as though by doing this I'm wasting potential opportunities. I'm missing out on relationships. I'm cheating myself of an education. I'm cheating others of being the best possible servant I can be.
Constructive ways to change:
1. Don't answer the phone or text when you're having an in person conversation
2. turn off the internet when you have all the documents you need in text or on the hard drive
3. when you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts consciously turn your mind to something positive
4. Hold yourself more accountable (get things done early, make good habits, eliminate poor habits)
5. Plan days of rest and time for others
