I mentioned to someone yesterday that the unknown length of time I'll be on this journey "looms over me like a dark cloud." He joked, "Wow, that's some positive thinking!" OK, maybe that was my reminder that I really do need to work at my positive thoughts. I need to make it a daily habit. I admit I fell off the "affirmation wagon" a while back when I was chanting phrases of gratitude to myself. I will go back to reciting affirmations and writing them down as well. Because I felt it was helpful back then, just need to keep at it. The graphic below came from Smiling Mind a free mindfulness app which popped up in my Instagram feed the same day I got that joking comment! This also reminds me I need to get back into the habit of mindfulness. Learning to control and calm your thoughts through mindfulness can help with the negative thoughts.
OK there's my self pep talk for the day! I can do this better.
