\nThere are moments when Life Sucks, when failure is the only option<\/strong>, or when it\u2019s easier to blame your problems on everyone else\u2026 because it\u2019s just too damn exhausting to take personal responsibility. I get, I\u2019ve been there. Just last week, in fact.
\nBUT if you find yourself living in those spaces a lot, it\u2019s time to look in the mirror, sweet pea.<\/strong> Look deep into your own eyes and notice that behind all that resentment and loss is a super hero\u2014who looks just like you\u2014with super powers to make different choices and bring you back to a more positive place.
\n\u00a0<\/strong>Let\u2019s begin with a quiz.<\/strong><\/span>
\nScore the following ten items in a way that serves you: either check off the ones that are Always True (and skip if not), or use a 1-5 scale where 5 is Always and 1 is Never.
\n\u00a0<\/strong>___ I realize that every day I have the power to choose the mood I live in.
\n___ I choose my actions rather than blaming others for what I do; I am not a victim.
\n___ I typically view events through a positive lens.
\n___ I rarely dwell on past mistakes.
\n___ I know what happiness feels like, and I recognize and enjoy the time I\u2019m in a happy mood.
\n___ I look for \u2013 and usually find \u2013 happiness and contentment in everyday tasks and events.
\n___ I focus on what I can control or influence rather than on what I cannot control.
\n___ When things go wrong I do not beat myself up.
\n___ I believe that I will find what I expect; therefore, I focus on expecting good and positive outcomes.
\n___ I do not accept television\u2019s view of the world.
\n___ Total<\/strong>
\nInterpretation:<\/em><\/strong> if you scored at or below 7\/10 or 35\/50, you may be living more of your life as a victim than is healthy for you.<\/em>
\nLet\u2019s explore what these life practices mean<\/strong>, and how you can make more powerful, positive choices!
