Soooo…..this isn’t exactly about literally moving out! But if you’ll hang with me, I promise to do my best to encourage you today!
I’m slowly learning that in everything I do, I need to adjust my thinking and my attitude. I tend to be a glass half empty type of person and it just hasn’t gotten me very far in building friendships or even relationships! I’ve always had the idea that everyone is against me, and because I allowed myself to believe this…..life has flat out been hard! It was about about 5 years ago that I had to choose…..counseling or lose my marriage! I chose counseling and it has proved to be the best decision ever!
The first session, like most things, was definitely the hardest! I sat across from a complege stranger and poured my heart out! Through these sessions of letting someone critique the way I do life, I came to realize that I needed to move out and move on!
Even though my “moving out” wasn’t a physical move, it has still been a very emotional ride! I have had to relearn how to do life by moving on and redirecting my thoughts and attitude when something doesn’t go the way I think it should! And let me tell you, at my age, how true it is that old habits are hard to break! However, allowing myself to move on to a new mindset has been one of my greatest accomplishments!
When we move out of our negativity and move on with encouragement we become better versions of ourselves! We gain a whole new perspective which helps us to make rational choices when life gets hard, and let’s face it, it does! When you’re ready, take the leap and trust your instincts of moving into a better way of thinking and/or living! You’ll be happy you did!
