grow the good stuff

---

i lay awake...
thinking about everything
i did wrong
+
didn't get to do
that day

i get panicky
like i want a "do over"
but there is no re-do
for my life at 2 am

this negative overwhelm
seems to happen
when i have coffee after 1 pm
but also i know
from a survival perspective
the negativity bias
is a real deal

the negative can hijack our lives
especially when we're stressed
if we're not careful + conscious
to insulate ourselves
with the positive

---

---

in positive playtime 
we've been talking
positive intent

---

---

i don't mean
going through life
with rose colored glasses

because
that negative
those stress + challenges
of life
are very real

but what i do mean is...

throughout your day
is woven a string 
of the most beautiful occurrences

these gems of life
sit right next
to all the negative stuff

don't let your gems
be overshadowed
by all the crazy hard stuff of life 

how to ensure
the scales
of your life
are tipped
to the positive?

---

---

​the #1 way to create 
MORE positivity + goodness
in your life?

grow all the good stuff
that's already there
in your life
to tip the scales
in the teeter totter 
of life
​to the positive

think about
all the good things
that day
all the things
that went right
when you were in the love
when you accomplished stuff
when you felt good
+
were enjoying
your life life

create that positivity loop
of your day
+
play it on repeat
to shut down
your negative thinking
+
reclaim your positivity bias 

as i lay awake
that night at 2 am
feeling like a failure
i did just that
​
i grew the good stuff
to hijack the negative
i played the positive
from my day 
on repeat
creating a posivitiy bias
that finally lulled me to sleep

---

i know it's not always easy
but you can do it too
when you feel
all negative
full of doubt or worry
when the hard stuff
in life
is playing on repeat
+
your negativity bias
has hijacked your reality

you can stop
that negativity train
by playing
all the positive 
from your day + your life
on repeat
til you believe it

You Got This.
