Missing glove

Hello!

So today was relatively short. I woke up super late (1:30pm) and I really prefer to wake up earlier (notice how I didn't say "I don't like waking up late"? I'm getting good at this! haha), but I went to bed late too, so whatever. Then ate, and was planning on going to the gym for 4:00pm...I ended up falling asleep again and not waking up until 6:00pm! Crazy!! I guess I was just super tired. Anyways, I had plans this evening to go bowling with some friends I used to work with (and one I still work with) at 9:00pm. So, I arrive there, walk up the stairs, say "Hello" to everyone, and then realize that I lost one of my new leather gloves on the way in. So, I walk back the way I came, down the stairs, and back to my car. No glove to be found. I start thinking, "SHIT!!" Then I take a deep breath, calm myself, then I think, "Don't worry, you'll find it. It still exists in the world, so it's around somewhere. You'll find it!" So, I walk back to the bowling alley, searching the floor as I go, and then I found it! But where it was, you couldn't see it going the other way. So that's what happens when you're positive...things tend to go your way. :)

Do I think I would have found it had I been freaking out and not being so positive? Nope. I'm finding that my stress level has actually gone down a bit, as I do tend to freak out about things that go awry. The Faculty of Medicine at the university sent out emails Nov.9/09 to inform us applicants about changes with regard to the reference letters, but they entered my email address wrong in their system and I never received it...I found out 2 days before the letters were due, and a good friend of mine had to calm me down because I almost had a panic attack. Had I originally thought, "I'll figure this out in the morning and inform them what happened," I wouldn't have had that stress to begin with, and probably would have slept that night.

So this is what I learned today:

1. Things tend to go your way when you think positively

2. Stress levels also decrease when you engage in positive thought
