What I've learned

What I personally learned being more positive is that it changes your mood. 
You tend to be more happy when you are more positive. I definitely want more happiness in my life, don't you?.

I also learned this is not a technique you can learn right away, it is something you must master over a long period of time. That one is hard for me to swallow because let's face it, I am a little impatient. 
I'd like to be able to have control over my words and my thinking quickly, but that is just not the case. 

I have to admit, I couldn't completely follow through, and ended up going to my comfort zone, which unfortunately meant I went back into my negative way of thinking and talking. I tried it for a short time, but quickly fell back into my awful habit.  

 I think this all started back in 2012 when I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I think in my mind, it was the end for me. When in reality, it was just the beginning of a wonderful adventure. 
Sure it would be lousy at times (when I get accidentally glutened) but it would be fun to go treasure hunting to find new gluten free products. Celiacs affected me in a lot of ways, but one of the ways it affected me the most is through my mind. Depression hit me hard, anxiety and memory loss. All of those combine really sucks. 

Now I must TRAIN THE BRAIN and shut the door to negative thoughts and open the door to positive ones. Little by little because it is NOT EASY, specially when that is what you are used to. 
I don't want it to control me anymore though, I want to be the master of my mind, and guess what guys?........................... I WILL BE!!
