Self- Concept Thursday!

Self- Concept Thursday!
Marinate on this…

What is actually within your control?

Many of us spend valuable time worrying and fretting over past, present and future situations. The truth of the matter is that there are only two things in the entire world within our control:

1. The way you choose to feel about yourself
2. Your behaviors and actions which are influenced by your feelings

That’s it! Not other people, not your kids (except when they’re little), and not how you’re treated by others. Knowing and owning this can be very freeing.

So let it go. Whatever is bothering you, whatever you’re worrying about… know that like other situations in the past, it’ll be resolved (and if it isn’t, you’re equipped to cope with it) and may even seem minor at a later date. Plus, worrying never fixes anything, it just leads to stress, depression, ulcers, and an un-ending cycle of anxiety. Take positive, constructive action and leave the worry behind.

A great quote:
Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday!

My Affirmations 7/22/2010:

    Nikki you can do it!

    When I had my first child all I thought was the quicker I push this kid out the quicker the pain goes away. My focus was on the pushing and not the pain.

    Although I do agree that everyone is in control of their feelings and their feelings and behaviors..believe it or not, you are capable of MORE than that by thought.
    You are capable of manifesting ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want around you…actions, events, material things, you name it. Just as you can speak these affirmations daily about how you feel..you can use the same to change the things around you.

    Your thoughts become things. Plan and smiple.
    If you would like to talk about this powerful revelation..find more information aboutthe law of attraction at thesecret.tv. OR, contact me 🙂 Ive been looking for beautiful woman to talk about manifesting and enjoying the beauty of life with.

    -I can do all things thru Christ who stregthens me.
    -I am blessed coming in and going out.
    -I have favor with God, man, and woman.
    -Everything I touch shall prosper.
    -There is no greater love that I can feel, than the love of God.

    I say this everyday and some days when I don't give myself enough credit or I feel like I "can't" do something I am reminded that thru Christ I can do all things. It brings me back to where I need to be.

    I am choosing to believe in the positive things in life; whether I understand it totally or not. Believing that God is always in control of what happens to me!! Believing that this henna mixture I am preparing is going to condition and give me shiny and strong hair that I desire!
    Thanks so much CN for giving me a place to express my affirmations openly and among positive women alike!
