“You are the most negative person I know.” This was what one of the most important people in my life said to me this morning. I was a bit shocked. After all, I never seen myself this way, but as I have reflected on this so casually strewn statement I seen more. Reflected illumination. Over the years I have become a true believer in the law of attraction and I had thought that I was living my life in a manner that supported this. Not true. Does this mean that I am a hypocrite? Maybe, but how can I turn this around?

Thinking SpiteHot

SpiteHot is the epitome of self-confidence, self-assurance and self-esteem. How can anyone have a high level of self-esteem and still present a negative appearance? I have to switch to a positive mindset. So I’ve done some research. Three strategies seem to pop up most consistently:

• Yoga
• Meditation
• Taking Responsibility for your Life, AKA, Stop Acting Like a Victim

I think I am going to tackle the whole Taking Responsibility for your Life strategy first. Seems to me like that is where I need to focus. During the conversation that started this whole thing, I was telling someone that they should state aloud, every morning, one thing that they are grateful for.

I think I will start by practicing what I preach. I am grateful for the ability to change.
