We change our lives by one thought at ...Dear Lisa,<br /><br />We change our lives by one thought at a time. Just one thought per day, that is outside the normal "tape" each of us plays inside our head -- you know, that little internal voice -- and at the end of one year, you will see how wonderfully that one thought a day can add up! I don't often comment at people's blogs even though I have my favorites and enjoy visiting them often, like yours. But a long long time ago I was in a very dark place. Full of self-doubt and despair. And then one day, I happened to pick up a magazine and read an article about how to change one's thought patterns. I thought it was baloney, but I thought, what do I have to lose? And so I tried it. One thought a day. It was tough at first, because you need to start forging a chain of different thoughts, so you need to remember what you thought the day before that was "outside your box" and add it to a new thought the next day, and the next, and the next. Soon I had a spring back in my step and I could look people in the eye again, and I did not feel like a phoney when I smiled. It changed my life, and I've never been back to that dark place since. Like I said, that was a long long LONG time ago. I think so many women tend to be too hard on themselves, and do not appreciate the unique and precious gifts they bring to this life and to others. Learning how to re-think about yourself and your life, that is the most precious gift you can give to yourself. I have confidence that a person who knows how to create such beauty will be able to get past those 'if onlys" sooner rather than later. I don't that suffering is something God sends any of us to endure. God loves us too much to ever do that.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898371407032700674.post-32210229258761706112014-01-05T22:37:02.691-06:002014-01-05T22:37:02.691-06:00I am taking time each day to embrace silence and b...I am taking time each day to embrace silence and be quiet. I find that is the time that I can hear all my blessings out loud. I wish you a happy New Year.
