Emotions are Contagious
Day 17 today.
Going strong and finding more strength and drive in outlook and approach.
I never realised I was becoming negative - especially in the last 3 months when I probably was focused on drinking as much as I could. Last night on nightshift I was making a point of smiling and calling people by first name (instead of just general g'day or hi) to hide my anxiety and stress which was expectedly a bit high.
Made me think after that shift that over the half the people on last (20 working) night told me in passing at different points that I seemed so much happier in the couple of days / weeks.
Beer was obviously increasing my negativity of late and pushing me to the outcast land of depressive or whinger.
It was interesting for me to see again that we enjoy positive happy people and are more inclined to worry for those - when in fact last night my 'happy positive self' was more an act to hide a bit of anxiety. In the end I felt on top of the world with all the compliments and knowledge people do care even when they don't know or understand.
Life's always better when you search for a reason to say thanks or compliment and never when you whinge, complain or condeme
