Positive Alternative Lifestyle
It’s no surprise that there is a tremendous amount of negative news out there today and because of it I have decided to shift my lifestyle. Yes, I am ready to become someone else, altogether and adopt a Positive Alternative Lifestyle. It’s a difficult decision for sure, flipping over to be a P.A.L. It is so much easier to maintain the status quo and just be negative with everyone else.
Bad news hits and what do you do, rollover like a dog, cover your head with a pillow, start diving toward the end of a bottle, or turn to your faith and pray that you are saved from it all? Any way you start coping with your own set of circumstances will not determine your eventual outcome nearly as much as your attitude during the process. If you go high, or you go low – you will only gain or get through the hard times based on WHY you choose to do what you did.
So, with some difficulty, I am trying to adopt a P.A.L. not as a coping mechanism, but as a lifting device. Sure, it’s harder to do, being so much easier to bitch and moan with the lot of them, but I think it will bring me and those around me up quicker so we can look around, stop focusing on our problems and find solutions that aid in recovery.
