54 - How often are you saying no to life?

How often are you saying no to life? Whenever I find myself down, frustrated or upset I eventually notice it’s because I’m saying no to life. What do I mean by this? For a start it means I’m meeting circumstances with fundamental aggression. I’m resisting and opposing what’s going on instead of accepting it and dealing with it. This could be getting annoyed/angry that others aren’t behaving how I want them to, feeling constricted by my schedule, or just plain wishing things were different. I’ll repeat again that acceptance doesn’t mean resignation. It doesn’t mean giving up or letting myself get dumped on. It’s redirecting my mindset towards what I can control and change - either my mentality or my actions. And second way you can say no to life is literally by saying no to suggestions for improving. Rejecting ideas without considering or trying them because “they won’t work” or “they’re not good enough.” When I find myself closed off I make a conscious attempt to be more open to trying a new way. Today ask yourself where you’ve been saying no to life and how you could say yes more.
