Have you ever found your emotions controlling your day?

SO I found myself yesterday in a funk where my emotions had seemed to take charge of my day. Have you been there? I experience the same hurdles of this lifestyle as everyone else.  I am not exempt from those challenges.

 After a long week I have time to unwind & think before I finish off my week. I find myself at times thinking about things in a negative way, and my bent is to turn to food to "feel better".  That chocolate chip cookie or those peanut butter M&Ms ( oh that sounds sooooo good right now!) make me feel better for the moment & then the cycle repeats itself.  So there I was in the grocery store, storming the isles looking for that "FIX". After 2 rounds of the entire store, I realized that I was not ultimately going to find that "FIX" in food.  I did continue my shopping, but I focused on what I had gone for, something to make healthy for dinner.  I left the store still feeling like my emotions were in control of my afternoon.

A I have learned to live weight loss as a lifestyle, I have found ways to take control of those negative emotions and turn them into positive highs that I can live on for days!  Here is exactly how I do it.  I turned on my favorite music and grabbed my favorite positive quotes list. I have learned to write down quotes that give me something to think about & that boost my attitude. I even search positive quotes on you tube and sometimes search for quotes with google. Seeing the words across the screen with music can really brighten your attitude and mood.

Emotions and negative feelings will be a part of life. But you can learn to cycle through them to  positive emotions that will keep you feeling on top for days.  All we need are the right tools and the willingness to put those tools to use, no matter how you might be feeling in the moment.  So now you have the tools, what you do with them will change your life!

I will leave you with this to think about until my next post............Our words reveal our thoughts........our manners mirror our self esteem.........our actions reflect our character...........our habits predict our future.    If you want to let negative emotions predict your future than do absolutely nothing.  I know what my future holds and it has nothing to do with anything negative. This skinny mom has a fantastic life waiting, but patience with a positive attitude will be worth it.
