I have been repeating this mantra for a month straight, sometimes failing miserably and getting stuck in the muck of the negative energy. I don't like the feeling I get when I'm there the tightness in my chest, the inability to take a good deep breath and my stomach in knots. I am releasing the tension and bringing my awareness to what is going so right in my life. My positives, today:
1. My garden is amazing! It is abundant and beautiful and when I am feeling off ten minutes working the earth makes me feel grounded and grateful. I love my garden.
2. My family. My kids are wonderful and challenge me in more ways than I can count and I love every second with them- even when the neighbors can hear me ask them to clean up for the hundredth time. I will miss them when they go back to school next week. I envision uninterrupted yoga and meditation along with a much cleaner house. I may even have time to knit some hats for sale....
3. My love. He would do anything for me, possibly even hack charities :-) I love him, he is most forgiving of my faults, he thinks I am utterly beautiful. He is a keeper.
4. The trampoline is my favorite spot to exercise. It is fun, it makes me laugh. Perfect.
5. Green smoothies. I started drinking one small smoothie every morning 10 days ago and what a difference it has made. I feel more centered, I have no desire to eat sugary or salty snacks.
6. My farmers market. I love supporting our local farmers and it benefits my family with better tasting food. This weekend my love brought home 40 pounds of organic fair trade bananas from the fruit stand for less than 10 dollars- it pays to know the market folk.
7. The library. I love the library especially putting books on hold so I can run in and out without getting distracted with more wonderful books, movies and music.
8. My health. I am wonderfully healthy, what a blessing.
9. I have great neighbors.
10. I live in abundance. I am blessed.
11. Goddess Leonie's announcement. That made my weekend. I signed on for the year and look forward to each class and joining the circle of goddesses.
Focusing my attention on the positive makes me feel so much better. I no longer feel paralyzed, I know I will have a fantastic productive day.
