Living in a New Way

Life is never quite so easy when you have to live in a different sort of way. And all things considered, that could be a slew of different reasons, such as living in a more poverty stricken area, having less income, having a disability, or   even having some sort of calamity strike your life.

So imagine your life as it is right now. Imagine what all you’ve got among your family, your friend sphere, the pets you love, the things you enjoy doing. No matter how bad off you feel your life is, someone absolutely has it worse. So it’s worth rethinking what you’re sad about or upset about in your life, because it could always be worse than it currently is.

And that’s the beauty of looking at life from a positive perspective. When you realize what all you’ve got going for yourself, it’s truly hard to be upset with the little things that seem annoying.  Or instead of asking “Why me?”, ask “What will tomorrow bring?” It’s amazing how such a small shift in thinking can truly alter the way you view things in your life.

And that’s why it is absolutely so important to keep in mind how anything “bad” can strike any day of the week. Any day of your life, things could go south. You may have to have some sort of emergency procedure, like an ostomy, where everything suddenly changes and you’ve got to rethink how you do basic human functions, like go to the bathroom or even shower. Changing out ostomy supplies is more time consuming than you would imagine (though truthfully it’s not that bad once you’ve got the hang of it).

Nonetheless, cleaning your ostomy supplies takes a little learning, so it’s important to key on your tactics and your time management to allow for a comfortable fitting pouching system and ensuring that everything is sealed skin tight.

So instead of bemoaning your life and what’s currently going awry, think about what all you’ve got. Even if what you have isn’t much, that sort of mentality is literally what brings success to so many professionals, because they’re always extremely focused on what’s next, what they can acquire next. And once you’ve learned to see the world this way, you’ll never go back to your old ways of worrying and complaining about the minutiae. A perspective shift can do your world wonders, honestly. But it’s up to you to change it.
