My old coach said, how you anything is how you do everything!

Do you get all fired up over small things? Do you wonder why things don't go your way? Or do you roll with the punches and stay positive?

I'm definitely in the last group. My whole life. When sh*t hit the fan, I usually went for a run to cope and de-stress. The situation never changed but my mindset/mental health was always so much better.

Same goes for my accident. I took it one step at a time. One day at a time. I got through it by staying positive. After all, it was better than being dead! BTW- this is not a statement made casually, it was my mantra during the entire ordeal. So much so, my family got me a pillow that says Better Than Dead as a gift!

Today, I got my first flat tire. I had just picked up a dear friend, and we had picked up lunch to be eaten back at her house. We pulled into a parking lot when the car felt funny. Yup, flat tire. I called AAA and we laughed and had a car picnic!

Now, 20 minutes prior, I was on a freeway in the middle lane. That would have been an entirely different situation. But getting a flat in a place where I could pull over safely and eat a yummy BAS and catch up with my friend= awesome!

Mindset is everything, my friends! If you find yourself being negative Nelly, turn that around. One day at a time!
