Learn to take time for yourself
Often when providing for a family, working towards goals, and at different times of our busy lives, we forget to take time for ourselves. One of your goals in life should be to enjoy life a little more. Fly a kite, ride a bike, feel younger, enjoy those special moments with others around you, these are important things.
No matter how large the goal is that you are working towards or that you are looking forwards to, you have to take the time to make it all stop and enjoy your private time by doing something just for yourself. This could be taking a bath, reading a book, working in the garden, taking a drive to see the lights, or just listening to some music while sitting in the sun. Your personal time is going to relax your mind and thoughts so you can focus on your life outside of these personal moments better.
Practice being effective
Use your smaller goals, such as getting organized, getting the laundry caught up, saving money, cleaning the car and such as ongoing goals. Set your goals, get these smaller goals done so you feel your life is more organized, clean and clear so you can then focus on the larger things in life such as fixing the house up, taking a vacation, getting out and meeting more people, or becoming more involved in your children’s lives. While every persons goals are going to be different, one thing is clear, meeting smaller goals while on the path to reaching for those larger goals your life is going to happen in steps and you will feel as if you are accomplishing more every day!

The subject itself seems sound, just the execution leaves a little to desire. Mainly how it so strongly states you should believe what you convince yourself is right and 'block' out other things if seen as negative. In this case if you perceive something as negative you ignore it but that could lead to missed positives and ideas. That doesn't sound like a healthy viewpoint, could lead to being more closed, arrogant and distant. I think taking negative instances and making them positive through thought processes is much more constructive, or seeing what you have learned from a negative experience.
I agree with the general sentiment, 'take time for yourself', but not with the extent to which this article seems to emphasize neglecting and ignoring problems which would likely lead to ignorance and especially arrogance. |

| Working in a negative enviroment all the time is hard to do. It is twice as difficult with a negative boss. I try to say something positive with every negative statement she makes. It's hard but my patients see that I am trying and they like it. |
