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!

Relax & Be Yourself!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
It is very stressful to try to live up to everyone else's standards for you, to people please, over commit because you're afraid to say No, do things out of guilt rather than free will, hold back your own thoughts and feelings because someone may not like or agree with you.
Just for today try something different. Be your version of you, please yourself, commit only to what you really want to do, speak your thoughts and share your feelings with truth and love.
Just for today - relax and Be You! After all no one can tell you you're doing it wrong because you're the expert on you!
Have a Be True to You Monday!

Show your Appreciation today!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is appreciation Day! Start with yourself. Find 3 things you appreciate about yourself. It might be that you appreciate your sense of humor, that you did the dishes or put out the trash before you left the house this morning or it might be that you appreciate that you got gas last night so you didn't have to fill up before you went to work.
Next, start with your family, tell your spouse, your children, your parents, even your pets something you appreciate about them.
Next are the people you encounter today; your friends, co-workers, the bank clerk, grocery clerk or gas station attendant.
At this time of year when it is colder and rainy we take for granted the services that others provide for us and the effort it took to do it.
Think of the postal workers bundled up walking their routes to deliver your mail.
Think of the sanitation workers that come to take away your trash.
The Meter readers that come to read the gas meter.
The Tanker drivers that deliver fuel to gas stations or fuel to your home if you use propane heat.
The utility workers that work out in the cold to retore and repair power lines.
The store clerks that come out and bring in all the carts from the parking lot.
When you go through the drive thru have appreciation for the hardy soul that has to keep opening the window to take your money while you stay warm and cozy in your car.
Appreciation is a powerful tool and a wonderful gift that you give someone today.
So whenever you can speak your appreciation directly to that person Do it - and see the startled smile on their face grow bigger and bigger.
Affirm:
I will look for and speak and show appreciation for everyone today!
Have an Appreciative Tuesday!

Self Worth is an Inside Job
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Many times we look outside of ourselves for our self worth. We feel our value comes from our jobs, what we do for a living, from our partners, family or friends, on how many things we do for them, how happy they seem to be with us after we do those things. Sometimes our self worth comes from being a rescuer, caretaker, provider, people pleaser, from how many things we have or can get, the home we live in, the kind of car we drive, how hard and how many hours we work. We attach self value to how much money we make, how many diplomas or degrees we have, or even how much crisis we can handle.
There are 2 flaws in this "outer worth." One is that whatever we did to get that feeling of self value, or of feeling good about ourselves we will have to continue doing to maintain and keep it. And that is when you have handed over your power, your value to someone or something else.
The second flaw is Self Esteem, Self Worth, Self Value, Self Respect all have one word in common: SELF.
So today decide to take your power back and be in charge of yourSELF.
Affirm:
I practice making my Self Worth an inside job.
Have a turn your SELF inside out Thursday!

Create a Be Your Best Ripple
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Did you know that in the Universal Design of All that is - there are no EXTRA human beings brought into this existence for the express purpose of just taking up air space?
Did you know that every human being was created with magnificence in mind?

Did you know that regardless of your past that you can make a fresh start Today? Right now in this moment?
Did you know that when you choose to be the Best You that you can be - that alone is a Powerful Purpose?
Did you know that there is no one else who can be a better You than You?
So reflect on the fact that all you have to do today is to be the BEST YOU you can be. And in so doing you create a ripple effect that encourages everyone else to be their Best. And they in turn, create a Be Your Best ripple ... and on and on it goes expanding out further and further.
Did you know that the world is a better place with you in it? IT IS!
You are important and You matter.
Affirm:
Today I will be the Best Me I can Be!

Value your SELF
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
If you depend on others for your value, it is "other worth" not self worth. Joyce Meyer
