Do you have a good relationship with yourself?

I saw this headline today and it brought back a flood of memories. I remember the days I didn't like myself or even want to be in the same room with myself. Pretty hard to get away from yourself,right? So I was forced to start working on my relationship with no other than, myself. I know it sounds funny but if you felt the way I did then, they'll you'll get it. You first have to learn to love yourself and think positive thoughts about yourself. Retrain your brain and your thought process. Most likely you don't like yourself due to the fact that someone put these ideas in your head from the beginning. Like your not pretty enough, smart enough or why do you always do dumb things,etc.. Ask yourself what are the tapes playing in your head that planted this self-hatred. Most likely it came from a family member or a boyfriend or spouse. Whoever it was or is. You are going to have to fight against each word brought against you. Think of it as a battle that you need to win. A battle to renew your mind, then your relationship with yourself with begin to heal. Soon you'll be on your way to being ok that your the only one in the room. Maybe go grab a coffee or a movie on your own. I have a friend of mine that thinks it's weird that I like going to movies by myself. I told her hey I don't mind being alone. She replied, I could never do that! Believe me I know why. I love doing things with my girlfriends but when there are times I am alone, I'm ok with it. So ask yourself do you have a good relationship with yourself? If the answer is no or I could improve, find out why. Talk with a counselor or a friend or just start by working on your thoughts. It's a process and it takes time. You didn't get this way over night so give it some time but be aware of what is being said to you and how you process it. And if any old tapes are playing without you even realizing it. Then take those thoughts captive and regain your love for yourself. You can do it! Here's to loving yourself! Adieu. Lisa

Are you rushing into things?

Are you rushing into things?
I was making my son some eggs for breakfast this morning and was in a bit of a hurry so I decide to flip to eggs over before they were ready. I knew they weren't ready but thought well I'll try to do it and see what happens. Well you know what came next, right? A mess, the eggs fell apart and were no longer the eggs I set out to make. Funny thing is the same goes for decisions we make in life? We rush things, make decision's without thinking them through making a mess of life. So ask yourself today am I rushing anything in my life? Do I need some time to think things through. Most the time in cooking when you simmer food or put them in the crock pot for hours they turn out tastier, more tender and all around a better meal. Why rush, simmer down and settle into the big decision's in life. They'll turn out sweeter, juicier and all around a better decision. I encourage you to take your time, think things through and pray about what you should do. Here's to taking your time today! Adieu. Lisa

Look for the positive in the CHANGE your going through and it won't seem so tough. I just love when I see Butterflies I know they didn't get that beautiful without some serious CHANGE, dying to what they once were and thinking it was all over then they emerge a new creation. And I love that they only live for a few days so every time I see one I know they are special and they serve a specific purpose. So come embrace CHANGE with me and enjoy the journey. Love, Lisa
