One after another

 One word after another. That's how I wrote all these pages. One word after another. Even on the days when the ideas wouldn't come. One word after another. It works on other things too. One word after another. One task after another. One day after another. First one, and then another. Today's Affirmation: Today I will rise above any challenge that life throws at me.

Changing The Conversation

 We talk to one person more than any other - ourselves.But what do we say…?Do we berate or build….…encourage or dismiss….…spot obstacles or opportunities ?Are we a friend or a foe ?But what if we changed the conversation ?What if today we simply said ‘you’ve got this’….Would that change the things we do, or the way they get done ?Today’s Affirmation: I try more than ever to talk kind to myself. Doesn't always work.

A Crucial Lesson Often Forgotten

 

When you were young, the worst thing that could happen was the ridicule of others. Looking back, you can recall the embarrassment and humiliation of being laughed at. And, Goddess forbid that you made fun of yourself. It didn’t happen. But, as we grow older, we gradually learn that laughing at ourselves is okay. This is an important lesson. A lesson that, all too often, we forget to live. Next time something doesn’t go your way or you do something you regret, no matter how upset you feel, say to yourself, “In time, I will laugh at this.” You don’t always have to wait for time to pass. Decide to laugh about it right then and there. Laughing puts things in perspective and chases embarrassment away. So, laugh at yourself, today! I can honestly say..I do just that. Today’s Affirmation: I laugh at myself without embarrassment or humiliation just the way I like it.

What Drove Us Before...?

 Where did the power come from? When we look back at our proudest achievements, what was it that drove us to follow through all the way to the end? Was it to see if we could really do it? Was it to prove someone wrong? Was it because we were passionate about the outcome? Was it because we knew what would happen if we didn’t? Or was it for a reason only we will ever know? And if that drove us before, how can we use it to drive us again…? Today’s Affirmation: What is always on my mind. I will try not to overwhelm myself with "What".

Starting Today...

  It would be easy to do something that makes the next 5 minutes a bit more pleasant. It’s not particularly difficult to make the rest of today a little better. And doing something today that makes tomorrow a whole lot easier just takes a bit of extra effort now. But something that we could do today that would pay off for the days, weeks, months and years to come? Well that would take some serious work.Or would it ?Maybe it just needs us to take that thing that we’ve always put off until tomorrow, and actually get around to starting it today…Today’s Affirmation: Don't always do "The easy" it wont help you challenge yourself.

Know What Your Future Holds

 Dwelling on the past is a waste of time. Look into the future.

  It’s important to look back on past successes but it’s even more important to use your vision to look ahead.When we spend too much time looking back at past events, we get caught up in the “woulda, shoulda, coulda” mental talk. Learn from your past, then let it go.Focus your imagination on your future. When you send these good thoughts out in front of you, they prepare and smooth the way. Use your imagination to reel in all the possibilities that lie ahead.Picture your ultimate success and then get to work creating it. When you take the giant step and dare to believe, your dreams will come true.Today’s Affirmation: My imagination is focused on the future.

What Your Friends Say About You

 


Your friends and self-esteem “Our friendships mirror ourselves.” You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. So, how helpful are your friends to self-growth?  Are they supportive, encouraging you to strive and achieve? Do they provide a sanctuary of love and warmth when the world becomes cold and bitter? Do you love them with all your heart and is that love reciprocated?Or, are your “friends” not really friends at all? Is there a tinge of jealousy when you succeed? In hard times are they unavailable, only to reappear once the crisis is past? Do they spend their time with you talking in negative ways about others? If your friendship experience is the former, then you are indeed blessed. If it is the latter, now is the time to take stock of the negativity that you are allowing into your life.  Release your relationships with negative, draining people. Choose friends wisely and your life will be filled with love. Today’s Affirmation: I choose my friends wisely, and I know and will continue knowing to have my guard up.

Embracing The Crazy...

 

I am, in my own unique way, a complete bag of crazy. At times I am driven by a need for recognition, and at other times I really don’t care what other people think about the way I am doing it. Sometimes I like to ponder and plan the most logical way to proceed, and then go off and wing it in a completely different direction. The things I have achieved have been because I did things both the same and differently to everyone else (and that’s the reason I have failed at plenty of things too). Occasionally I do things just because they are the opposite way to do it. We are all unique - we are ‘here’ because of who we are, and we will get ‘there’ for exactly the same reason - and sometimes we just have to embrace the crazy…Today's Affirmation: I have the gift of "Be knowing" I just be knowing shit.

Reach Your Goals and Dreams

  Reach your goals and dreams “Each new day is a building block for reaching your goals and dreams.” Personal goals and dreams are not formed over night; they are built with each passing day. It’s important that you do something each day toward fulfilling your personal dreams. Every effort, no matter how small or insignificant, can make a difference. All those daily “blocks” build on one another and, slowly but surely, add up. Be patient with yourself and never give up. Your tower will slowly grow and, sooner than you think, you’ll be standing at the top! Today’s Affirmation: Each day I do something toward fulfilling my personal dreams and goals.

One after another
