300 words

Here we are on Ash Wednesday.  As you may have read yesterday my two Lenten promises are 1.) Give up diet coke and 2.) Give up the scale.  I decided to give up the scale because every morning when I step on it, I feel depressed, discouraged, and beaten.  I was thinking that if God gave his only son for me, and loves me so much, does he want me beating myself up daily?  I decided that he does not!  So, no more scale for 40 days (sorry for the over simplification of theology 🙂

Anyways, I also mentioned in my last blog that a study has shown that women think 300 words a minute.  And sadly, most of those words we are saying in our head are NOT positive.  So, in partnership with my Lenten journey I decided to intentionally participate in thinking about POSITIVE words.  Today, I decided I would share 300 words of YES!

Here I go…

– I am healthy and happy.

– I am getting wealthier each day.

– My body is healthy and functioning in a very good way.

– I have a lot of energy.

– My mind is calm.

– I radiate love and happiness.

– I am surrounded by love.

– I have the perfect job for me.

– I have good and loving relations with my husband.

– I have a wonderful and satisfying job.

– I am successful in whatever I do.

– Everything is getting better every day.

I am….happy, loving, giving, cheerful, joyful, peaceful.

I love. I simplify. I challenge.  I believe. I hope. I care.  I live. I am here. 

Things that make me smile: my husband, my kids, sunshine on my face, wind in my hair.

I am grateful. I am thankful.  I am blessed!
