Guest Post- Dont forget what you feed your mind


Navreet Kaur
We’ve all heard the expression, you are what you eat. However, we don’t hear it often enough (probably since we were children) to also filter what you watch on T.V., the environment you expose yourself to, or the people you surround yourself with. If you want to know your positive life quotient which means your attitude toward life, then take five closest people to you and the average of their attitudes is approximately where your attitude is.
I will be the first one to admit, life isn’t always roses. There are quite a few things that are right and not right in my life. However, I am a big believer in working on the self as we know we can only control our behavior and no one else’s. This may come as a shock to you but our circumstances will change no matter how good or bad. Circumstances are usually not in your control so do your best not to be defined by them.
So, are you surrounded by the right people, the right environment? If not and you seek change, I believe there are 2 actions you can take. Number one, remove your self from the situation that is contributing negativity to your life and if that can not be done, then change your attitude by being the change you seek in the world, which means you start the positive trend at that place. Don’t look to other people to start it for you. Remember, you are the protagonist in this story called life.
Ask yourself one question. Are you leaving a place you visit better off than how you found it? If not, then maybe you ought to pay more attention to your mind in addition to your body.
