The Things I Tell Myself & Daily Reminders

Do you ever notice that it is often the little things we tell(remind) ourselves that end up meaning the most.

 

They are simple & to the point

and  within a split second of reading them we

"GET IT." 

 I don't know about you but sometimes I need that.

I need to remind myself from time to time,

 of all the things that "truly" matter in life.

And sometimes I need to be my own cheerleader,

to lift myself up & tell(remind) myself ALL the

beautiful qualities I possess & that "anything" is possible.

Last week as I was painting this canvas for a customer,

I was reminded of why I create things like this in the first place.

At one time "believe you can" was a little reminder that "I" needed to hear.

And I still remind myself of this often.

The minute you say it, feel it & really absorb it,

it can change everything.

I guess that is the amazing power of positive thought:).



 A few months back I was confiding in a friend about a dream I have had ever since I was a little girl.
I was feeling a little unsure of the prospect of it
"actually" happening.
I was feeling insecure.
She simply said "have a little faith."
Right at that moment I let go, just like that.
I said to myself, if it is meant to be then......it will be. 

I know how precious time is & I never want to waste
the time I have with my boys, husband, family & friends.
I want to enjoy it, be in the moment with them
&
"Be Present."
On Saturday my husband & 2 boys packed a picnic and headed
for the country.
We ended up at the beach my husband spent every summer as a child.
It was just us, as it was NOT beach weather:).
We planted ourselves right by the waters edge.
We built a sandcastle, dug a hole, played catch, ate lunch,
and took a walk up the coastline.
We collected shells & admired the beautiful architecture.
It is amazing how something so simple could be so wonderful.
 

 

 As I get older(turning 40 this July)
I find that facing my fears & achieving small victories
makes me feels alive inside,
so I kindly tell myself to
"Be Brave."
How about you?
Do you remind yourself of this too?

 

 We are taught to love others, but how about ourselves?
