You will have to bear with me over the next few days while we discover how school sports will affect our workouts in the mornings. Right now Kitty has Athletics 1st period and Tennis 3rd period with Science, Spanish 2 and Social Studies in the afternoon and Volleyball tryouts 2 hours after school. I don’t want her falling asleep in the afternoon classes – just yet…:)
No workout this morning, but I think Kiki and I will hit the park or school this afternoon while Kitty is at tryouts. Even though Kitty is getting 4-5 hours a day of workouts this week, Kiki and I need to keep up as much as possible, so we don’t lose our momentum.
In response to adjusting our thinking to a more positive mental status in order to help aid in our weight loss goals and overall health and happiness, I will venture in a few directions over the next week.
Today, one of my favorite blogs Did I Just Eat That Out Loud has a “WALL” where you can go to leave whatever stressor is consuming you, whatever fear is holding you back and you just need to release it to the Universe. If you feel the need to participate, I highly recommend jumping over to the “WALL” and letting it all go (or just entertain yourself with her postings – she is wonderfully brilliant!)
As a matter of fact, I am going to try something different. I am going to challenge You to go leave everything you are possibly worrying about at the “WALL” then come back here and TELL the Universe WHAT is going to happen instead. Yes you read correctly, TELL the Universe WHAT is going to happen. For example: Yesterday Kitty was worried about making the volleyball team because after the first day of tryouts, she was having trouble getting her serve (over-handed) across the net (it didn’t matter that all the other techniques were accomplished). She was crying and saying over and over again – “I’m not going to make it – I was horrible!” My sympathy and comforting was not working no matter how many excuses I made for her, so I finally got frustrated. I told her to turn her attitude around and tell herself WHAT was going to happen over the next two days of tryouts! I told her that she needed to believe and FEEL that even if she missed all her bumps, sets and serves that NO MATTER WHAT, she was going to make the team!
Having a teenager is hard, but having a female teenager with hormone, body and self-esteem issues is even HARDER! I kept asking her “what are you going to do tomorrow and what are you going to do Wednesday?” and she would reply with an almost believable “make the team!”
Reading The Secret and after reading some of the other books lately, I have learned that EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING you have or want in your life is a result of your thought process! So today when you are commenting to the Universe below, remember to TELL the Universe WHAT is going to happen. Don’t use words like “I WANT”, because wanting something implies that you still do not have whatever it is that you are searching out - TELL the Universe that you already have whatever IT is and be thankful. For example, if you leave at the “WALL” that you are worried about volleyball tryouts and not making the team, TELL the Universe below that you are thankful because you MADE the team. The goal is to let go of all the negative thoughts at the “WALL” and come back and replace those thoughts with only POSITIVE thoughts.
Sometimes “letting go” is the only way we can move forward. So, I challenge you to let go of everything negative, express to the Universe only the positive and create your own desired happiness! I have already started the process...
Leave your comments to the Universe as Anonymous if you want - it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - YOUR thoughts are the ONLY ones that count! Make them good ones!
I have a clean and uncluttered house. I have the perfect job, the best of friends and family and enough money to buy ANYTHING I WANT! Thank you Universe!
