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.
