The Ten Commandments of Self-Esteem

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

I came across a book that I have had and read over the years and I thought it was worth reading again and passing along:
It is The Ten Commandments of Self-Esteem by Dr. Catherine Cardinal-

I.       Thou shalt not consort with people who make thee feel bad about thyself.
II.     Thou shalt cease trying to make sense out of crazy behavior.
III.    Thou shalt not keep company with those more dysfunctional than thyself.
IV.    Trust thy body all the days of thy life (Thy mind doth fornicate with thee)
V.     Thou hast permission at all times to say "No", to change thy mind and to express thy true feelings.
VI.    What is not right for thee is not right for thy brethren.
VII.   Thou shalt not give beyond thine own capacity.
VIII. What thy brethren think of thee matterth naught.
IX.   Wherever thou art, therein lies the party.
X.    Thou shalt sing thine own praises all the days of thy life.

Awesome! Check it out for yourself -It is only 81 pages and is so worth the read!


Affirm:
I am worthy and deserving of feeling good about myself and I surround myself with like minded people

Have a high Esteem Wednesday!

A to Z to a Successful ME!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Many times when we make our New Years Resolutions we do them on automatic pilot. Just stating the desired, wished for result and thinking hopeful thoughts like "I really hope I can do it this time, this year ...." We view the goal for the New Year as something that will be fraught with difficulty, struggle and false starts.

Do we stop to consider all the talents, skills and abilities that we already possess to assist us in achieving our resolutions? I think not. So today let's go through the alphabet and list A to Z what you are capable of doing to be Free! (And then you can use some or all of these as your daily affirmations to cheer yourself on in your goals)

Present moment focus

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Loretta LaRoche is one of my favorite people and one of her quotes inspired me today:
If you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice. If you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.

I needed to be reminded of this as I have 3 people very close to my heart that are finishing their journey here in this world and it has been difficult to keep my focus on the present moment and stay positive when I am not with them. After reading this quote this morning, I realize that the most powerful gift I am giving to them when I am with them is the gift of my love and my presence -simply sitting with them letting them know they are loved and cared about. And I realize that I can continue to hold them for now in the same loving space and keep my thoughts and focus on all the blessings, joy and love that I feel for them and let go of all the fear, worry, and sorrow. What wonderful loving energy that would be to send out to them in thoughts and prayer in this present moment until it is time to say goodbye and grieve for them when that time becomes the present moment.

Affirm:
In this present moment I will keep those I love in a sacred space of positive love and light.

Have a focus on Loving thoughts Friday!
