"There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one." -- Ralph Marston
Most of our self-talk comes unconsciously from our subconscious. Yet every thought that exists in our subconscious got there through a conscious decision to accept that thought. We need to become conscious of our self-talk so we can at will choose to replace negative beliefs with positive ones. We have the power to choose an identity we love, but we need to do the work. The process of changing our subconscious beliefs requires awareness, diligence, consistency and repetition.
"Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace." -- William James

This Post makes me think of the relief I felt when I learned, through this Program, that we are not responsible for our first thoughts, that was one of those true miracle statements.
So now if I have a thought that may include say: some critical thinking of another, I can stop and just erase it, replace it with a gentle different thought.
These days, I am on the receiving end of most of my critical thinking, and when I am plagued with some negative thought, I can apply the same gentleness to myself, as I do to others, and somehow I am released from it.
I came into this Program, carrying a ton of Manuals on Self-Hate, knew that like the back of my hand, and when they appear, I am free, finally to see that it is just an old critical thought from my past. Not welcome here in my house, so I think, "thanks for sharing" now I need you to leave, you're no longer welcome, this house is a house full of love. I take good care of my house, because I have learned in doing so, I am nurturing myself.
Has taken over 5 months to adjust to living here without my little bundle of love, My Annie, but I am beginning to feel good, just me. Bought a really Beautiful Stained Glass Picture Frame at a second store that has these adorable little tiny flowers inside the glass, and I am fitting her picture into it.
With God's Grace, I have made it throught the really rough part, and am actually enjoy the Spring here, it is Glorious.
Keeping our minds in a Positive place is very critical to our enjoying our lives, try to keep all judgments and negativity out, I believe God give us life, and wants us to live our lives Abundently in Spirit.
I have been doing some 12th Step work with a woman, and also working with a newcomer in an AA meeting that does not want to have a sponsor until it is time? That is the key for this Alke.
Love my meetings, and I love my life, that God has given me, so much gratitude is what i have been feeling these days.
i sure hope I did not get off the subject, but if I did........Oh well, HA HA Maybe this is a Pink Cloud, who knows, I've never known one before. Life is Easy, Everything is Good, and God is Great.
Yep, here's some more Flowers
