Why is it that we can recall bad incidences as if they are percolating just under the surface?
Strong emotions that trigger anger, shame, jealousy, envy or disgust leave a lasting impression. It seems that it takes longer for us to be able to process these feelings and let them go. Sometimes, we harbor these awful feelings for years, and some folks tend them like turnips in a garden, living off them as sustenance.
When you catch yourself selecting a memory to muse over, choose a positive one for a change, you won’t turn into Pollyanna or end up wearing rose-colored glasses. But you will feel a burden lift from your shoulders and the sun shine a little brighter. I don’t know about you but that’s how I’d rather live my life.
The choice of how you will live your day, as always, is yours.
