Alright- so day three of my self challenge to a) blog everyday and b) only say positive things for two weeks. The blogging is ok, although I am finding it a little challenging to remain authentic and true. It's so much easier to hide behind witty dialogue and big words. But, I have at least remembered to blog and have gotten SOMETHING down, so that's an improvement.
Took a huge step backwards in the being positive side of things today. It is really hard to be positive. There are several developments in the local arts scene that really bug me, no matter how much they shouldn't. Also, I have realized that there are several people I really can't stand. I won't get into the reasons why (see the being positive challenge), but I have found that I don't have a ton to say if I can't be critical of others.What a lovely personality trait to discover in yourself!
I'm not sure when I became so critical and downright bitchy. Sarcasm and being critical are just not a fantastic way to relate to the world. How can I expect others to stop criticising me and the theatre if I can't stop doing it?
The one improvement I can see is that I am actually catching myself in the act of being negative. The little voice is telling me, "Knock it off," and I am beginning to listen. I am thinking that maybe I need to work on being positive for a month so I can attempt to make it into a habit.
I really don't want to be a jaded, bitter person, only talking about myself or bitching about others. I'm just not sure that my mouth understands that yet. . .
