I got up this morning, said hello to my higher power, got focussed on my program before I even got out of bed. The morning went so smoothly as if my higher power was telling me something. So right from the off I was presented with choices. My sons gf hurt her leg and took a day off work. Right away I felt some judgement come into my mind like, come on get to your work, cant be that bad, what the hell? kind of thoughts then I decided that i would make her tea and toast and tell her I hope she feels better soon so thats what I did. Wow, its a simple program isnt it?
I changed my mindset from one of judgy, bitchy to kindness and understanding, spreading a wee bit of a love vibe. It made me feel so much better too and it surprised me that it was a conscious choice and I was aware of it in the moment. I want more of that in my life, awareness of choices on my responses because I want to choose the love and kindness thing. This is who I want to be, always. Thanks for reading. Have a good day and I hope you all choose the good stuff over the dodgy negative thoughts. It makes for good outcomes all round.x
Thanks LC Powerful message. Having the ability to make a choice is a true gift of this program No more instant negative reactions .
I needed to work the Steps diligently in order to be willing to let go of my negative. destructive, judgmental mind set so that I could accept the power of love and compassion. I appreciate your service and honesty.
Before this program, each morning was dreadful and negative - from my eyes opening on. I am so grateful that the program has given me a chance to change me, my attitudes, my outlook, etc. to fix that. I still often wake up with a moment of fear/dread but quickly remember who I am and the journey I have chosen and turn upward to God.
I agree it's been hard work and I am a work in progress.....but through this program, those mornings are less and less all the time.
(((Hugs))) and thanks for the share!
