So, you know how I always write about staying positive and manifesting\/visualizing your life, going after what you want..bla bla bla?\u00a0 Well, I have an apology to give to you.\u00a0 I have not been following my own advice lately.\u00a0 What a hypocrite, I am very sorry.\u00a0 See?

It has been a challenging year at work filled with pressure, negativity and drama. \u00a0 My Marathon training did not have the awesome start I was hoping.\u00a0 Planning a wedding filled with constant negative stress around me did not help either. \u00a0 But, after doing some reading and reflecting these last few weeks, I realize the reason all of these things were happening this way…because I lost control and LET THEM HAPPEN.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 I let myself feel stressed and fall into a negative environment at work,\u00a0 I told myself there was no way I could get everything done everyday, I told myself I was not cut out to be a leader or to manage people and I told myself there is no way I can turn the negative environment around… and guess what?\u00a0 My thoughts became my reality, like they always do.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"thoughts\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the beginning of marathon training, I felt defeated. How can I get to where I was last year?\u00a0 What if I fail again?\u00a0 I can’t do this.\u00a0 Guess how many failed runs I had with that mindset?\u00a0 A LOT.\u00a0 Of course I did.\u00a0\u00a0 Not to mention the fact that I have been in 3 car accidents in a matter of\u00a0 months.\u00a0 How is that for negative energy slamming back in your face?\u00a0 Sorry about that, old yellow.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts become our reality.\u00a0 I KNOW this.\u00a0 I PREACH this.\u00a0 I LIVE by this. I have SEEN it happen time and time again.\u00a0 But I became lost and forgot how easy it can be to turn around.<\/p>\n

\"thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything I have been blessed with these last several years came to be because I visualized it and I believed it.\u00a0 All came out of nowhere, when I least expected it.\u00a0 Even when it didn’t make sense for it to happen…it still happened.\u00a0 I did not seek opportunity, opportunity literally came knocking at my door yelling “LOOK AT ME JILL!!”<\/strong>.\u00a0 And it was because I was on this happy train of positivity and taking life by the horns.\u00a0 When you are on that happy train, awesome things just keep happening.\u00a0 Somewhere somehow, I fell off that train and started riding on a different one.\u00a0 This new train is filled with ” I can’t control this” and “sometimes life sucks but I am going to accept it” kind of attitude, I want off NOW.<\/p>\n

Just in the last week alone I have felt revitalized at work\u00a0 and had some awesome workouts.\u00a0 Coincidence?\u00a0 I think not.\u00a0 We have to constantly keep ourselves in check and REMIND ourselves WE are in control of our destiny, WE can have the life we want.<\/p>\n

Yes, the mind is indeed a battlefield.\u00a0 But the crazy part?\u00a0 We control the war.\u00a0 It is so simple, yet so easy to forget. Stay blessed in the mess \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n
