Stop that Negative Self-Talk

Two weeks ago, I really suffered from some big time negative self-talk.  I went on a cruise centered around Christian music, and while the cruise was amazing, I really felt like I was the black sheep.  My internal voice kept saying that I shouldn't be there, that I was going to corrupt those around me, and that I was simply a lost cause.  I was also worried that my co-workers would be happy to not have me around for a few days.  And, I noticed that my first day back to work, I was already in a really defensive mood.

But, knowing that this is just my insecurities rearing its ugly head, helps me to cope.  For me, somehow simply identifying what I'm doing, can help me to stop this negative self-talk.  But, even though these internal discussions with myself make me feel like a bull dog's chew toy, I use it as motivation to continue on my journey of personal growth.

Another Monday, and therefore a fresh new week is here.  It's another opportunity to stop making the same old mistakes, and start making new one ones.  :)

Have a happy day!

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Don't Lose Focus

I realized lately that I’ve started to lose my drive and focus when it comes to personal growth and improvement.   I hit, what felt like a major milestone a couple weeks ago, and I think in a way I felt like I could take a break.   And, while a break is ok, my “breaks” tend to last too long, or I simply stop entirely.   I recognize that I need to keep going on my current path.   Because, if I stop now, it could set me back.   And, I’m so tired of being set back, and being left behind.   What are those things that you’ve been putting off?   What is something that is undone in your life?   Get on it girl!  Even if you don't finish the task, start it today !

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here?
