How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Breaking Bad Habits

in Everyday on 06/26/14

It seems I have developed a very dark way of looking at the world, or at least the the people of this world.  I am far to quick to jump to the very worst of conclusions.

“We need to talk.”must mean bad news.

“An urgent request for a meeting.” has to be something horrible.

“You have to come in for those results.” is going to be devastating.

Why am I pre-programed to always think the worst?  To be a glass is half empty kind of girl?  This is a negative, soul sucking, and sad way of living!

Sometimes friends just want to catch up, fabulous proposals are presented, and little dreams do come true.  Life is not always throwing you bad news!  Most times people are good, kind, caring.  Most times, everything is going to be just fine.  I believe in people and I believe in kindness, I just have to remember that.  It’s time for this Mama to get herself some rose coloured glasses and start looking at the world with a new perspective.  Here’s to breaking bad habits and knowing that the world isn’t always full of darkness, sometimes it’s full of rainbows and sunshine, you just have to look for it.

      ‘we need to talk’ never leads to anything good!

      I also have this habit that needs breaking. Sending you some good vibes and I’m with you in the battle in spirit.

      I also have trouble seeing the glass as half-full and not half-empty. My mom was always a worse case scenario person so I definitely got a lot of this from her. But I am trying to flip it around for my kids.

      Hear hear! Here’s to breaking bad habits and being more positive and honest 🙂 It’s hard to break habits but if we keep at it we can do it

      I have to be honest and say that I have similar bad habits/reactions. Guess I should start on working to break bad habits too., but I have a feeling it is not going to be that easy.

      I must admit that I usually find myself thinking the worst, but I am trying to change. It isn’t easy though…

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
