Can you Smile, Wink & Say “I Got’ dis!”?

Breathe – things are never as bad as they seem. Smile, things are never as good as they seem. Wink – Life is lived somewhere in the middle.

When stuff is really not going my way, I notice that fear and doubt tend to set in. And that emotional response kills any intelligence that I have.

I have to control my body and my mind. It’s easier to use the body to control the mind if you understand posture, and interrupting patterns of behaviour. For example, if you see a depressed person, their shoulders are slouched and often they are looking down. If you are depressed I encourage you try this exercise.

Throw your shoulders back, put a big cheesy smile on your face, look straight up at the ceiling and now… try to feel depressed.

… It’s hard isn’t it…?

This should show you that you have the capacity to change your state and increase your energy regardless of the surrounding situation. You cannot change what’s happened; only how you react to it in your mind and the action that you take from this moment on.

Attitude+Activity=Success

My solution, when things go bad for me, someone cancels a meeting, quits on me, cancels a program… I take a deep breath, smile, wink and say to the enemies around me that want me to despair and hate God for my circumstance… I got’ dis!
