In any case, when people or things try to get me down, you know what I do? I make sure I'm happy and good-to-go. Things don't always go your way, and you know what? People make mistakes and (pardon my language) shit happens, duh. But I do what I need to do to keep myself calm, because I am the only person and mind I can control. Walking, hiking and rocking out hard to music all are ways I get myself in the positive zone.
But it's also a good thing I'm flying the coup or I'd go stir crazy without my computer. I'll be in my favorite place this weekend, LA & Hermosa Beach. A much needed head-clearer and extended weekend. Gazing at the Hollywood sign and the Ocean both equally calm and sooth my soul. I hope you get some soul southing in this weekend as well.
I'm a happy lady rocking my Marmot rain jacket. What do you do to clear you mind and keep yourself positive?

ReplyDeleteThank you JENN!! It's not something I've always been but it feels so much better then being negative and letting things getting me done. Positive energy is such a powerful thing!!

I have the same outlook, the only thing you can control is yourself. Things just kind of orbit/spiral in and out of control around you and you have to just adjust your path as things come up.
ReplyDeleteGreat outlook, Amber. You're fab and nothing will change that.
You've got mail:)

ReplyDeleteI am loving your scarf! I hear you on the overloading the computer with pictures and too much stuff...good thing Apple is always there to help! :) I too try to always have an upbeat and positive attitude and in general am an overly happy person, which I say is due to being born with too many happy genes, so, I completely relate to all you are saying! I hope you had a lovely time this weekend in LA...we did have beautiful weather! Keep smiling and staying positive because you are wonderful!

I'm definitely have one of those weeks myself. Like you, I try to walk or work out in some way, take pictures (since it's what I really love and it forces me to be in the moment), and stay in touch with people who love me unconditionally. And I keep reminding myself that it passes, because it always does!
ReplyDeleteyou look lovely!
ReplyDeleteHurry back soon!! Looking forward to reading more posts!!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo, Blair.
