Well, here we are in week 7. Things are really starting to fall into place. I have been working hard on the Seven Day Mental Diet.
Thinking I was a pretty positive person, my husband and I always taught our kids to be positive, always put yourself in someone else’s shoes for you have no idea what they are going through.
We’ve gone through so many motivational classes and always embraced the law of attraction. I thought I may have to start over once or twice, but I was going to get through these seven days!!!
So far I made it to about a half a day. I never knew what a challenge this would be, not to mention the thoughts going on inside my head. I sometimes wonder if this mental diet was even possible to do.
My husband is also talking this class. We noticed any time we run into family/friends/acquaintances how one negative thing after another is mentioned in conversation especially as we age. My little voice inside of me keeps flagging everything being said and the voice in my head is screaming for me not to agree with them.
By concentrating on this diet makes me very aware of all the negativity when others speak. I feel I am getting a little better with my negative talk, at least for a half a day!
And then we have the “no opinions” part of the challenge. WOW!!!!!!
Let’s just say… I HAVE NO OPINON!!! And I strive to do better each and every day!!!
Yea, it definitely makes you very aware of conversations you weren’t aware of before.
Thank you Joan 🙂
I’m so glad I’m a good swimmer, LOL!
I haven’t made it 1/2 a day yet on the mental diet. It’s a lovely blessing that both you and your husband are taking the class so that you can support each other!
Hey Cheryl, thanks for sharing, it is a on both fronts. I hear you every day just keeps on getting better.
