Where is everyone's head at? Are you starting to change your mindset and your thoughts? Who is practicing good thinking? It can be difficult, especially at the beginning, even if you have been practicing for a while. We have practiced more negative thinking than anything else in our lives. Give yourself the grace to stumble along. Changing strong practices is also a journey.
Today's little thought from the book "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise L Hay. When we were very little, we learned how to feel about ourselves and life by the reactions of the adults around us. Do you remember when you heard a family member say you act like so-n-so...or maybe so-n-so was terrified of the dark and you react the same way....or so-n-so used to say that. These are just little examples...our thoughts and beliefs are based on generations of learned thoughts and experiences. How we think about everything in our life is learned from past generations. The great thing is we can change it. What we perceive as negative, we can change just by changing our thoughts. How cool is that...we are in total control. If you are catching yourself thinking about your weight or how you look....anything that will leave you knit picking yourself...change that thought to something loving about yourself. For example....I had an ex-husband who told me my eyes where to close together. hahahhahaha I had to laugh out loud....however, many of you will agree, when someone you love says something negative about you; you will make it the truth. I certainly did. I stopped wearing contacts because I thought I looked terrible. Never mind the fact I used to wear them all the time, including aqua colored lenses. But as soon as he said that, I have never put another contact in my eye. Maybe that is why he is an ex-husband. LOL Anyway, I made that thought true...and true to this day...I should maybe go get fitted for contacts... When you have a negative thought, turn it around...say to yourself as it is truth...you are beautiful in those aqua contacts...and those sunglasses make you look amazing. Once you believe it...that is your truth. I believe that each and every one of us is beautiful in our own way. We may not all look the same...but how boring would that be. However, we always want to look and feel as confident as much as possible. We don't want to let anything or anyone get into our heads and muck up the way we think. Think positive happy thoughts, then you will be positive and happy.
There it is my friends...What are you going to make as your truth? What positive thoughts and affirmations are going to keep you loving yourself so you attain your goals? Please share....I can't wait to hear what you are doing to keeping the positive flowing through your mind. So, as we are going into another weekend, it is not hard for you. Going into the weekend and staying true to my goals is easy and effortless. I CAN DO IT!!!
Can't wait to chat with you tomorrow!!! Have a great day.
