If you start the week with a positive attitude on Monday,
it’ll be a lot easier to fight off negativity the rest of the week.
The secret to happiness is to re-think your outlook on life and re-frame your
perspective. By framing your world, you can actually persuade yourself into
happiness and contentment. Truck drivers sometimes find this difficult when faced with adversity
to keep themselves going. Below are some helpful tips/reminders to help y’all have a happy, successful week!
Engaging your senses comfortably.
We obviously spend a lot of time behind the wheel. And although the visual outdoor scenery is
constantly changing on the road, your personal bubble and how items interact with your five
senses can have an immense effect on your mood. Something as simple as buying a scented air
freshener, that reminds you of home, downloading new music, or changing up your podcast!
Filling your life with positive people.
Sometimes, over-the-road truck driving can get lonely. But it’s important to touch base frequently
with important people in your life. ESPECIALLY, ones that will provide you with support.
Acknowledging when you achieve a goal.
When you feel overwhelmed by the tasks you must accomplish, it’s important to celebrate when
you cross things off your “to-do” list. Whether it be by physically crossing items off a list or by
treating yourself to a special thing to reward yourself, making a bit of a happy moment will
motivate you to get more things done. It is nice to know there’s a positive light at the end of the
tunnel when we are productive.
Dropping the negative attitudes.
When you realize that no one is entitled to anything in this life, you realize that hard work isn’t a
bad thing. Rather, keeping things going is the sign of a strong person. Dropping negative
thoughts, you have about yourself will also help drop the negative attitude. Instead, fill your
mental dialogue with motivational mantras to keep you going.
