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

Express your Gratitude and Thankfulness

Happy Friday!

There is all the media hype about Black Friday starting early. Why even last weekend the sales hype was already in full gear. So that made me think.
Why not start giving the gift of Gratitude and Thankfulness early too? Start saying Happy Holidays to everyone you meet. How about saying a simple "Thank You" to people who probably don't hear it a lot. Like the postal carrier, the sanitation workers, policemen, firemen, teachers, grocery store clerks, employees who go out and get the carts from the parking lot. You could even say "Thanks" to the customer who takes their cart back to the cart corral instead of leaving it in the parking lot.

There are so many ways to express gratitude, thankfulness and appreciation. This weekend why not challenge yourself and others to see how many different ways that you can find to extend the gift of Thankfulness to as many people as possible.
Then on Sunday evening or Monday compare notes over a cup of coffee to see how many creative ways everyone came up with to spread Gratitude and Thankfulness.

And see how wonderful it feels to make a difference in someone's life by making a big impact with small and simple feel good gestures.

Affirm:
This weekend I will focus on spreading Gratitude and Thankfulness as I prepare for the Holiday.

Have a share the Gratitude Weekend!

You are worth taking the time to be selective about your thoughts today. Choose carefully because your thoughts will trigger the feelings that you have today.

The concept of Feeling Good.

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

If you want to feel good today try brightening someone else's day. See how amazing the power of a smile, a hug, a kindness, a few words of appreciation or encouragement or simply saying "Thank You" can be.
Don't be selective about it instead be generous with it. Include everyone you encounter today and FEEL the difference within your own heart.
Make a difference in someone's life today by making a big impact with small feel good gestures.

Affirm:
     Today I feel good by helping others feel good.

Have a Feel good Tuesday!
