Taking control one small step at a time

So many hats to wear, so much juggling to be done. Today I've taken the time to try to silence my mind a little bit. I am recovering from a head cold, children are away at their father's home for the night. This leaves me with some much needed ME time to collect some of the thoughts in my head and put them down on paper and yes...typing. Self-motivation for someone who is not consistent with it can be very difficult. Kind of goes back to my previous post of being your own cheerleader...you have to push yourself to get things done in some kind of order. Sometimes it feels as if it is easier said than done. You always have to remember the bigger picture, that if you want to move ahead in life, you have to set goals. Once you set those goals, a system must be in place so that you are reminded of the goals and set out to accomplish them. This can be done in baby steps. This is a habit I will be exercising as my future endeavors will require a better system than the one I have now, which is NADA! Just as a daily thing, write some basic things you want to accomplish whether you put it in your phone, have a special notebook, a dayrunner, calendar at home...something that will help you keep track and that you can keep tabs on and refer to. Let's see how it helps. Let's do it for a week which just 2 or 3 things a day and then build from there to bigger and better things. Good Habits can be seen as yet another muscle to exercise. It takes time to build but if you are consistent the benefits are quite rewarding.

Self defeating thoughts

Why is it that when we should be our own biggest cheerleader...we instead become our worst enemy. We limit ourselves into believing these fabricated lies created in our heads by our own imagination. None it is true until make it a self-fulling prophecy. Yet time and time again we do it...limit who we can be by what we think. Imagine taking every self-defeating thought and replacing it with a positive thought or compliment instead. Instead of poisoning the mind...nourishing it with love and acceptance. We become who we believe we are. We welcome into our lives what we think we deserve. Are we not great? Do we not deserve the best? The answer is YES. We are great and deserving only the best in life. Only we can open our eyes to this and manifest it. It all begins with SELF. Self love, Self acceptance. So the next time you want to criticize yourself....STOP! Take a moment, a breath...understand that no one is perfect but that you strive to be the best version of you that you can be.
