I'm feeling very positive this morning; this could have something to do with the intense gym session this morning, or it could just be that my hormones are being kind to me today. Either way, I feel the need to force my opinion onto my adoring public in the form of a 'let me tell you something you already know' rant.
So, isn't it shockingly amazing how a slight change of focus, or a change of mind, can completely alter your feelings? Par example, let's say that you were feeling pretty shit about something, you go home, you sit on the sofa, and you stare at the wall pondering the true complexity of the situation you've found yourself in, and the sheer lack of hope for a comforting resolution has swamped you. There appears to be no way out, and the messy pile of crap just gets bigger and bigger the more you think about it.
Let's say that at some point, your mind switches - it just flicks over to a different channel, and suddenly there's a slight ray of hope, and a wee little glimmer of sunshine at the end of the self imposed tunnel of doom. This is your chance to get out of the shitty mood, and more often than not, any reasonable person would take this chance.
My findings of late have been astonishing, in that I've discovered the knock-on effects of accepting this change of channel. My example outlined above was indeed a picture of my evening last night, and yes, there was a sudden change of channel. (Most likely brought on by the realisation that my TV package had been upgraded and I now had complete access to the Comedy Channel, and the channel that seemingly only plays Sex and the City re-runs. Brilliant.) I went to the gym this morning, and then on my way into work I started thinking about the cesspit of crap, but this time, I didn't care! I smiled in the face of adversity, and I believe that I can now emanate a feeling of positivity onto the entire situation, and perhaps, just maybe, resolve said issue with the application of some sympathy, some understanding, and a smile.
Sickening, aren't I.
