I have been out of town, and I am glad to be home. I feel more determined than ever to be on this path. I have such a strong desire to learn to love and accept myself. I read this quote, (and I may be butchering it), but in essence it said, how you interact with your children is a direct result of how you feel about yourself. If that isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is.
I have a daughter, and she is young. When I look at her, I think about how she has a chance and a clean slate to learn how to really love herself. She has a chance at having true self-esteem from the start. I can’t help but believe that so many of my ‘issues’, and self-destructive behavior, stemmed from a lack of self-love. I was raised in a house where I was told ‘I love you’, regularly, but I wasn’t really taught to practice self-awareness and self-love. I am not blaming anyone here, but I have a chance to do it differently. I have the opportunity to rewrite the script.
My thoughts are powerful. Your thoughts are powerful. What we tell ourselves about who we are, what we do and eat and so on, dictates our reality. So today, my intentions are to be mindful. My intentions are to take it easy, (jet lag is a bitch). My intentions are to exercise my body, especially focusing on strength training. My intentions are to breath deep, and think before I speak–why is this one so hard sometimes!? My intentions are to be aware of negative thinking, and choose to replace those thoughts with affirming thoughts. My intentions are to practice visualizing everything I want for myself and my loved ones.
I am a magnet. I naturally attract all things healthy and positive. I naturally attract uplifting experiences and people.
