What do you think… What do you think when you see people running in the rain at 7 in the morning? They’re crazy - I’d never do anything like that… I’m so unmotivated / unfit / pathetic.
OR Good for them, that’s inspiring! That can’t have been easy getting up early in the morning and going for a run. I admire their commitment. What do you think… When you see a mother snap at her child in the street? She shouldn’t have spoken to her kid like that! Look at how upset he is. What a bad mum. OR She looks like she’s had a tough day. I have no idea what she is going through. Maybe she shouldn’t have snapped at her kid, but that doesn’t make her any worse than me when I’m in a bad mood. What do you think… When you hold the door open for someone and they don’t say thank you? How ungrateful! Next time I won’t bother to hold the door open for anyone. OR They looked distracted. They might not even have seen me. I wonder what’s going on in their life right now for that to happen. I'm going to make a recommendation for you: Change the way you see things. Flip your thoughts from negative to positive. Change your perspective... And you'll be amazed at how different you feel. Not just your perspective on other people. Think how your life would change if you started thinking this way with yourself! If you were kind to yourself, instead of finding fault... Don’t underestimate what a simple shift in thinking can do. Give it a try... You'll be with yourself for the rest of your life... might as well be kind to yourself along the way :)

Hi Priscilla, thanks for your comment - and that's awesome that you run at 7am - I'm in awe! :) I run occasionally in the morning, but I can't say it's a habit yet ;) Good for you for switching the perspective to yourself as well... it's important to be as kind to ourselves as we are to other people. Keep up the good work!
