Themes of my life !!!

I have seen many themes in my life. You could call it many things but I call them themes. Through out my life I have had specific concepts that have been presented to me that are repeated and strong.

1. Take it ONE day at a time ( Line upon Line , Precept upon Precept- Saturday's Warrior (lol...) ) !
2. Let it be
3. Just Do it!
4. Believe in yourself

I am sure there are others but those are the ones that have always stuck out to me. Confidence in myself hasn't always been my strong point. I tend to over think things and sometimes I just need to just do it and not worry about it so much. Let it be... is often times my hard one because I want to fix things. I want to change things as soon as soon as their broken or need changing. I have dealt with it on a small level and large level where I just had to step back and leave it alone. I guess that's where the analyzing and everything come into play. I am not saying this to put myself down but more of I realize these are things I need to work on. With believing in myself ... that's another hard one for me.. I have always been one to want everything perfect (or tried to have it that way and always fail because there isn't anything perfect except Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father ). They give us the ability to become better!

One of my strong points I feel is charity: I love to serve others. I want to help them in all ways I can. I have to say sometimes its frustrating when you can't do anything but pray for that individual but I know that prayer is the most powerful tool.


I have many blessings in my life and I have many great qualities I just need to take off my negative glasses and see the positive rather than the negative.


A ship in harbor is safe -
but that is not what ships are for.
- John A. Shedd

Heavenly Father has not planned for me to just be fearful and stay where I am comfortable always but he has great plans for me , great destinations. I just have to trust in the captain and in his course.

5 positive things 2/25/12

I am going to try to do an entry at least weekly with my five positive things I see in myself and around me everyday and than post at the end of the week. We'll see how it goes.




1.Caring Towards Others
2.Creative


3. Hardworker
4. determined when my mind is set
5. choose to take care of myself and make sure I got well and not more sick.

I am not superwoman~

I am currently in a course about the brain and the process of learning. There is so many things that affect how we learn it's unreal. This week we learned about emotions and the ties with learning. I learned that when we are in a positive emotional climate and focus on positive emotions we are healthier and optimum well-being. We are also able to have better memory, have better problem solving skills, more competent in social relationships, and much more. Alrighty so in reality I already knew this but gaining further knowledge on this subject just helps the cause more.

As some know I have been a journey of sorts. I want to seperate my emotions from eatting. I have been taking a step forward than a step back then a step forward and so forth. I realized that I need to just take it a step at a time. Which is the way to sensibly do anything and not go mad. Superwoman I am definately not.

With the newly refreshed knowledge of being positive will have my own life, I want to challenge myself to something. I am going to write five positive things about myself each day. I will try to do this without repeating. This challenge reminds me of my sweet companion Sister Vail. I don't remember how this challenge first played out but... it was for every negative thing I said I have to say two positive things about myself. It actually worked pretty well.

Goals:

Take it a day at a time.
- Start with one thing at a time.
- Drink more water
-Less sweets
- Get to Gym ( hopefully I can stop being sick and getting that physical activity will also in the long run help me be healthier over all).

Be gentle with myself.
- Compliment myself!

Be more positive.

- The world is not ending because you make a mistake.



One of the things I have come up with to remind myself is that : A mistake is an opporunity to learn and grow.

- I have always seen mistakes as huge failures and the end of the world. People will not stop loving me or abandon me because ... I make a mistake! I may not be superwoman but I am who I am . I want to make that person better but it doesn't mean I don't have great things about me already it's just refining those things.

Home Sick again!

So I was smart this time and stayed home like a good girl when I felt sick . I went to the doctor and they said Ear Infection and Sinus Infection. How lovely one less thing than last time which was pnomena on top of that. I am a hard headed girl. I get sick and I keep going or at least I try but this time I felt like I shouldn't be pushing myself to exhaustion. I know I only had early pnemona last time but it scared me... despite quility feelings of not being at work and letting people down... I knew I can't keep killing myself just to make others happy. In the end it makes me miserable or rather really sick or going to the hospital. Luckily no hospital visits , I hope there will not be any time soon.

We must take care of ourselves : physically, spiritually and emotionally and haven't been doing the best job lately. I hope that if you read this you are well and healthy and taking care of yourself.

I sit here thinking of all the things I could get done but than my head starts hurting and just get exhausted thinking about it.... sometimes we just have to rest.

After all it does say in the scriptures: Come all ye that are heavy laden and I will give thee rest!!!!!

"Don't run faster than ye have strength" ( do this all the time, not good for you over all ).


Take time to rest whether it's from just day to day cares or when you are sick. Rest is the best medicine to help us feel refreshed and take on something new! If we keep going and going and going we will end up drained and can't do anything at all.
