Negative Energy

So I am a person who truly believes, like attracts like.
So I try to keep my attitude positive to keep positive things flowing in my life.
Exept I have to admit, somehow, somewhere things changed. My outlook and attitude are far from positive.
Honestly I can not tell you when the change started to happen, just that it did and things have gotten out of control.
I am grumpy with people, I jump to conclusions, I am judgmental, I am short tempered. In short I am a bitch lately.
And things in my life are going wrong. This past year alone, I have lost three pets, things keep breaking on my car, I no longer like my work place at all, and I didn't get a job that I was perfect for. ( I know that sounds like bragging, but I am dammed good at what I do and I know it. I won't apologize for that) Oh and let's not forget my syatica has been acting up a lot.
So the way I see it, I have to choices.
Put on blinders and keep on like there isn't a problem, or
Consciously make an effort to improve my life.
I choose option two.
First thing I will do is to try and pin point why things have gotten so crazy and out of control. There really has to be a reason for it. Time for some meditation, I think.
