The power of the positive mindset!
So This blog comes with a sense of trepidation. I find that typing out my words in the midst of a very positive situation tends to produce a negative effect on what is currently going right..however that is the gamble a true blogger must take so this will continue without any further hesitation!
So Basically life has had a severe upswing lately and I think I have finally learned how to be the master of that particular destiny which is a question and burdon that has always plagued me. Only surfacing during long hours on this dasterdely computer or the hours i spent attempting to sleep only to fail with the consequence of hours of time to myself with nothing but “not so awesome” thoughts. My most important lesson in life is that busy is the cure to stagnant negative behavior. The more i find myself doing the more productive I find myself in all aspects of life. I find myself simply doing the everyday things that used to just irke me. Instead of dreading doing things…i am doing them and in turn, gaining a more positive self conception at the thought of accomplishing these things that used to at one point be so problematic…the funny thing is, they are the everyday things most tend to just do. I have never been good at getting things done on time…i am still learning but i am defintely doing good lately. I am also going out to see my friends more during the times when I would normally consider inconvenient and not worth it. This has also had an extremely positive effect. I have strengthened my friendships with my semi close friends which makes it easier to make a boring evening something to talk about or a small session a day to really remember. again, these are thigns most just do and take for granted but to me are new learning experiences! The most positive kickback i have seen lately is a real increase in the quality of my blading. For those who do not know or were wondering. Blake Cohen and Myself are indeed going to be making a sequel to our video TOO MUCH LOVE and filming has already begun. I have been twice as productive as I was last video and I think my more active and positive mindset is directly responsible! Other things have benefited, such as work, family life and self perception but since this is a predominantly skating blog for the company I will keep those to a minimum at the moment because you are bladers and you can relate most to what I do in terms of blading! So for anyone who is struggling with either skating or life, just try to take a step back and see if maybe the main change you need to make is in your mind because your attitude is much of what dictates the outcome of your lifes endeavors and the beauty of that fact is that even though it can be difficult and sometimes seem impossible. It is something you do indeed have in your ability to control and that is one of the most empowering feelings a person can have.
