What goes around, comes around

Helloooo Humansss!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe we're already in 2023! I feel like this year went by so quickly.

So humans, how was your new year celebrations?

Mine was pretty good, we partied till 12am and into the morning (4 am) and slept till around 12 pm.

Basically, my first day of the year was pretty unproductive so yes perfect start!

And I just realised that I forgot to make any New Year Resolutions, I guess i just have to make them now, and I'll try to make ones that I know I can stick to!

Today, I wanted to talk about our mood and attitude and how they influence our actions as well as other people's choices and actions.

You've probably heard of or have played dominoes, notice how after one domino falls, the other falls and it usually is a huge series of dominoes falling one after the other.

This game can symbolise the great effect your mood and attitude can have on people.

I have noticed this with myself as well as other people. For example if someone smiled and did something nice for me which could be as simple as holding a door open, I would do the same to someone else out of the positivity that small gesture fuelled me with.

However, sometimes our influence on others could also back fire, have you ever felt so annoyed with someone for how they acted towards you that you did the same horrible thing back and then you both ended up being at fault?

It thankfully has not happened to me before (or something that caused me to be punished at least) but I have seen it happen to so many before, and that is a perfect example of the quote "what goes around comes around".

Unfortunately humans have high emotional intelligence leading to questionable actions taken on an impulse when our emotions get the better of us, in biology terms when too much of a chemical is released by our hormones (yes I am trying to get biology revision in while writing this).

To conclude, try to surround yourself with some positivity rather than negativity, regardless of where the source of it is. If you have a friend that constantly exerts negative energy try to distance yourself from them, I know this sounds cruel but being under the influence of the wrong people can really lead to your mental health really faltering and your attitude to every day will take a fall.

Remember everyday is a gift but use your gift wisely and embrace your gift with positivity.

Heres to another great year ahead for everyone!

(Also sorry for the really late post, my sleep schedule has really been messed up, and I need to fix it before school on Tuesday!)
