Today was another really solid day. By far the most tempting to eat shitty food. My job brought us pizza for lunch and I was like naaaaah. Today's foods consisted of, grapes, 2 bananas , a peach, strawberries, carrots, spinach , cantaloupe, ground beef , and some pineapple. I feel like my eating habits are going to be tough forever honestly . I'll always want to eat junk but I know what I have to do to stay healthy . I'm committed to eating the way I have been for a very long time. My energy level is way up and I feel like I'm a better person to be around!
Today I was asked how I deal with rejection and also how I deal with negative people . As far as rejection goes it really does depend on the scenario . At work getting rejected on the phones isn't too bad for me . I laugh it off. I love when someone who's never had a Medicare plan in their life thinks they know more than me . I'm like ok mrs baker I hope that plan works out for you because it hasn't for just about bedtime who's used it lmfaoo. Rejection in relationships , friendships, social invitations is a bit different . I first try to think where the rejection is coming from . Does this person have a valid reason to have treated me this way (I.e. I was being an asshole and nobody wanted to hang out with me). If I feel that I haven't done anything to warrant that response then I think about who it is coming from. Is this a person I truly care about? Is this someone who wouldn't normally respond in this way? If it is someone you truly care about then it is probably best to have a talk and clear the air. So many people are so scared to introduce conversations where forgiveness can be had . I'm not sure why, but over the past few years I've learned it's way easier to confront the small issues in a kind way and it elieviates need for further escalation of the problem .
As far as dealing with negative people . 1. If possible remove yourself from the situation "don't wish that evil on yourself Ricky bobby". Surround yourself with like m minded individuals with drive, with passion, with good souls. Just doing that will allow you to be more centered when you do encounter a negative person. Negative people want attention, they want you to know how bad they have it. For some, they do that because they truly are down at the moment and they don't know how to handle it (been there). Others do it because it's their way of life . The latter are the people you want to avoid like the plague . They will do whatever they can to make you feel as shitty as they do. I have a co worker, who has been through more heartache than I ever wish to have to deal with. He chooses every day to be the most negative person in the room. Always bitching and complaining , always arguing with the instructor and classmates, and again because he does it so much he will bitch some more . I've talked to him on a few occasions and he basically hates me because I'm trying to be happy. That's not baller to me. All you can do is realize that their negativity is theirs alone . Don't let someone drag you down. That brings me back to surrounding yourself with good people . If the people closest to you are people that challenge you to be a better person, who push the limits of your happiness , who don't want to hand anything to you but want to prepare you to reach out and take it.... those are your real friends, and you hold those shit heads close to you!
I want to leave you with something. I want each and everyone of you to continue to grow as people. I challenge you to love everyone you come across. I told a friend today that the world needs her, and that's absolutely true. The world needs more genuine people , more consideration, more love . So let's make it happen
Love it bro.
