Have you ever had the kind of day where nothing seems to go right? You know the kind I’m talking about. You sleep through the alarm and everything heads downhill from there.
You squish the toothpaste tube a little too hard, and a big blob of Colgate lands on your pants. Your hair won’t behave. The kids won’t behave. You knock over your breakfast smoothie on the kitchen counter. Instead of starting your day on a high note, you’re hanging onto the lowest note out there by your fingernails.
Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be that way. How do I know? Because Willie Nelson says so. That’s right. Willie Nelson.
Turns out, the infamous musician, writer and weed aficionado has it all figured out. According to a recent article in Rolling Stone magazine, (https://bit.ly/2DF8bfJ) Willie has a new favourite phrase that he’s turned into a new song: “Delete and Fast-Forward”.
He says, “When you put a negative thought into your mind and body, it literally poisons your system.” Think about it. Negativity isn’t just unpleasant. It’s poison.
What does his new song title mean? Forgive, forget and move on. Whether it’s a friend who’s done you wrong, a life situation that just doesn’t seem fair, or getting up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning. Stop your negativity in its tracks by saying “Delete and fast-forward”. Say it out loud. Say it. And then do it. Forgive, forget and move on.
You’ll be amazed at how much better your world will start to turn.
