Tags: self improvement, positive attitude, in a positive mood
 I started my day in a positive mood but finished my coaching session feeling exhausted. Hearing other people’s woes and giving solutions to their problems are sometimes mind draining especially when it’s beyond my scope of expertise anymore. Just this day, a lady came to my office just to tell that I’m no good right at my face.
She referred those words to me without batting an eyelash. My initial reaction was shock and I wondered why she came up with that conclusion without further ado. So I asked her and get her reason and hear her side of the story. I tried to keep my cool and dealing with this kind of people is still part of my job.

I have encountered different kinds of personalities and was able to manage them well by having a positive mood. Opposing reactions like this is unavoidable since we can’t please everyone. She said I’m not effective as a Coach. I was partly hurt when she said that I was not good on my field but I realized that this is the perfect time to practice what I preach.
I always encourage my clients on how to deal with negative emotions. I, too, encountered some of it everyday and I have my fair share of it. Although I’m a Self-Improvement Coach, I also feel negative feelings such as fear, anger, sadness and frustrations to which I just replace with a positive mood that I have gradually learned from all of my experiences.
I am just an ordinary person who is also going through with this kind of emotions. There’s no exemption in having this for this is the way our body reacts to situations. While I’m having these thoughts, the lady in front of me has already walked out. She was already gone and I was not aware of it.
The lady’s bad remarks towards me are also a reflection of what she feels inside. I know she has some issues with herself that affects her to have a positive mood. I was not able to explain to her my side and defend myself. Well, I’m having a bad day and I don’t want to get it through my nerves.
We have no control on the reactions of others because it’s their own. I then smiled; I have to remind that to myself everyday to maintain a positive mood. I have already proven the magical effects of it many times.
