Today I plan on doing some reading, some watching of motivational and encouraging vidoes (Louise Hay), cleaning the house (which includes a lot), supervising the boys as they clean the side yard, reading to Cedar, taking a shower eventually, and overall...being in a cheery mood.
I hope to sing today as well.
Earlier this month, I was in quite a negative funk...feeling bad about myself, beating myself up for every little thing etc. But that changed earlier this week. I started waking up every morning and writing in my journal 26 things that I am grateful for. It's made all the difference. I use to do this all the time but somehow got lost in my own self-doubt. (which affects EVERYthing) I feel happier. And realize every day is a new day to begin anew.
Hopefully I can continue on this road and path of goodness for myself. (....just a clue into what I was caught in, a friend said to me oneday: "You are so hard on yourself it actually makes me sick." ) Wow. That was a turning point I think. Who wants to be around someone who is constantly talking or worried about what they do wrong!? Not that I do it or did it constantly. (but wait...maybe I do. Huh.)
Cha-ching!
Lightbulb.

Change the way you think and change your life!
(I recommend books by Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, and Joan Borysenko. I also recommend a book called The Noticer by Andy Andrews. It is a great little reminder about perspective.)
Have a wonderful Saturday everybody!
