Is your life 'humid' or 'damp'?

When I ask you if it's humid today, what type of weather do you think of? Hot or cold? Sunny or cloudy? Winter or summer? And if I ask you if it's damp, what type of weather do you think of?

Technically those 2 things are the same; a high concentration of water vapor in the air. In fact, they are listed as synonyms for each other in the thesaurus and humid is used in the definition of damp. So what makes them different? Us! The way we think about them, our mindset, is the only real difference.

When you thought about 'humid' most likely you thought about hot weather, even a sunny day. When you thought about 'damp' most likely you thought about cooler weather, even a cloudy or rainy day.

That's the power of our mindset. We have the ability to change the way we see, think and feel about any situation. And it's a wonderful power! Just think, you make any situation easier to handle and maybe even turn a negative around to a positive, just by changing your mindset.

Action: Identify a situation in your life that is not as you would like it to be. Write down the situation. Now identify the good aspects or the positive steps you can take, or are taking, to make it better. Focus on those positives as you continue taking action to make things better.
