Hating your job or just plain fed up with stupid people?? who isnt? read this!...

well it seems as though lately ive been just completely fed up with stupid people that surround me. i thought that maybe after 5 years it would get better, but alas - some things just never change! so in anticipation for the 311 festivities and good times to be had this weekend, i have been just ignoring the idiots cuz you know there is nothing in this world that is going to ruin my 311 excitement! in the meantime i read over a passage that hangs in my cubicle that a friend of mine wrote one day. he is also a fellow 311 lover and reading it helps me get through my day. so thanks jordan, your writing helps!! here it is, enjoy and maybe even hang it in your cubicle for a reminder on bad days.

'Interruption
+++++++++++++++
When you find yourself beginning to feel overwhelmed by negativity, you can always choose to break the pattern. Stop whatever you are doing, and for three or four minutes focus your mind on thoughts of gratitude, acceptance and peacefulness.

Breathe deeply, and relax the muscles throughout your body. Reflect on how very fortunate you are to be alive and aware in this universe that's overflowing with positive possibilities.

Give yourself a peaceful break. Give your spirit the opportunity of resetting to a more positive perspective, and it will.

In a few short moments, you can easily and naturally break free of any negative pattern in which you may have been caught. You'll be vastly better positioned to effectively respond to whatever life sends your way.

Instead of acting out of anger or frustration, fear or anxiety, you'll be able to choose your actions based on your own positive purpose. Instead of being caught up in the grip of negativity, you'll be calmly and firmly in control.

When the negativity starts to get overwhelming, choose to interrupt it with a positive, peaceful break. You'll find it can make a profound and positive difference.
