Perception

Ever have one of those days where all you see in yourself is ALL of your faults? 

You know you do....

Where you compare yourself to others strengths and focus on all of your weaknesses?



I had one of those days the other day. Sometimes I can shake it off. But if I'm tired or off in any way it's harder to drag myself out. But I have this wise hot husband who said something so....so profound yet so hot husband-ish you're going to find it very inspired and such a fitting example as to how not just a man thinks...but how my husband thinks.



Because I was having this moment of self pity. And because unfortunately he has to be the person to "PEP" talk me....he finally said very late at night this statement.

"When I used to play basketball I'd dribble the best with my right hand. My strong hand. So I decided that for every one dribble with my right hand, I'd dribble four times with my left to build up the strength in my left hand. So for every bad thought you have...you need to replace it with four good thoughts. Now go to sleep."

Umm brilliant much????



So on this December 1st...starting the most wonderful season of the year....might we give the gift to ourselves and to loved ones around us to stop comparing, stop being mean to ourselves, stop focusing on our weaknesses,  and stop self hatred talk. And instead start to love ourselves, be grateful for what we have, recognize our gifts and for every negative self talk, replace with four positive thoughts.

And might I recommend THIS book.  {and the movie ROCKS too!} I think she's really got something that is true and right.

Lots of hugs and well....hugs...H1N1 is around and I ain't kissin ya!

Wasn't that all so deep? Sometimes I read and it makes me deep. That's like WHOA!
