Morning Journaling - Day 1
So, after my last post it was clear that I needed to find some healthy exercises for my mental health. As part of my goal to heal my inside so I can be the best version of myself that I can be, I am going to try to remember to journal every day. Sure, it may not always be in the morning and I may not hit every day, but I am committed to making a solid effort. The theory is, by writing in the morning, I'm increasing my chance of achieving my daily goal... some say I'm increasing my chances by 42%. I'll take that!!
With that being said, read if you like but this is a post that is strictly for me and all about me. (I'm selfish like that! LOL) And to be honest, I will probably be repetitive in my ramblings for the next few weeks as I work through the most basic of things to get started.
Morning Journal 6/2/22
GOAL:
By July 1st my goal for my health is to be happier with myself, who I am and how I look, and I will feel more confident in moving ahead toward bigger goals. I will strive for this goal because I want that happiness, I want to enjoy every nice day and not fear wearing shorts because my legs are not pretty. I want to enjoy life and time with my family and friends without the internal monologue of negativity in my head. Therefore, I will not listen to the voice in my head that is telling me lies, or making me doubt my abilities. I will counter it with positive thoughts.
My realistic and doable next best step(s) to help me get there today is to...
Listen to my body, not my emotional, irrational side, but my actual body. Am I really hungry or am I tired/bored/frustrated/depressed? I will envision myself doing what I set out to do - manifesting what I want to achieve. Practice using positive thoughts to not only acknowledge the negative thoughts, but counter them or eliminate them.
Any thoughts or feelings I'd like to work through that might be getting in my way:
Thoughts that aren't serving me:
I'm so fat
My butt is huge
My legs look like cottage cheese
Failure
Loser
Ugly
I suck!
