Lately I have been dealing with some lethargy and negative thought patterns. The good thing is that I am able to recognize these changes and understand that this thinking is often not the truth. The unfortunate part is that it still affects mood and motivation in many parts of life: social, health and being proactive in work.

Today, after a good night’s sleep, my mental disposition and physical wellness felt rejuvenated. Encouraged to take advantage of this shift, I chose actions carefully so they would lead to the efficiency and productivity I have been seeking. I took a bit more care in getting ready and am now at a quiet coffee shop for a change of scenery and to be able to fully focus on my work.

I will stay here for quite a while in hopes that the actions and accomplishments of today and tonight will continue to uplift my spirits and improve attention…perhaps turning the persistent and rather annoying negative thoughts, that many of us deal with, into a more positive outlook!

Note: decided to take a photo before heading out because I am looking rather yogi/hippie today (true-self), as well as wearing this wooden parrot necklace for the first time! I got it on the beach at Blue Spirit Costa Rica for the Recovery 2.0 retreat back in in 2015. Think I will sport it more often!
