Put your positive pants on!

So some days it can be hard to get motivated and everything we attempt, our Negative Nancy gets in the way and only sees the problems, choosing to ignore any and all solutions. No matter what the situation, Negative Nancy simply rains on the parade and does all she can to ruin your day. AND it's possible for that not to happen because ultimately YOU are the one in charge!

Sounds simple, right? Being in charge of yourself sounds like a simple idea that is easy to carry out and yet we struggle when we surround ourselves with the negative thoughts and allow them to seep into our minds. So how do we stop it? Well, I guess that's where today's DARE comes in!

So today I DARE you to counteract every negative statement with a positive ... ok, I take that back, let's be realistic as we're just starting this! I DARE you to counteract 3 of the negative messages you hear today with a positive statement. For example, when Negative Nancy tells you that you're a failure, counteract with something like "I made a mistake and this is what I learned from it". The more we practice this, the more our brain will naturally take over and look for the positives in every situation because, as I often say, there is always a silver lining in everything we go through.

Think of it this way, as you get dressed in the morning you have to remember to put your positive pants on!! Go on, you can do it and they're pretty comfortable once you get used to them!!
