I take compliments in stride

 It is wonderful to hear others say nice things about me, but I avoid feeling overwhelmed. I take compliments in stride. This attitude prevents me from becoming too self-centered.

 

When someone tells me that I am beautiful, I express thanks for the kind words and move on. I spend very little time focusing on physical beauty. Instead, I groom myself spiritually, so what is on the inside shines through.

 

Humility is one of my most treasured attributes. It teaches me that even when I am victorious, it is through a combination of hard work and blessings.

 

I avoid getting caught up in my own accomplishments, even when others are congratulating me. There is a higher purpose to my existence than personal fulfillment. My life's purpose is to serve others and cater to their well-being.

 

When my boss applauds me for a job well done, I express gratitude. Then, it is back to work. Most of my time is focused on my consistency as a hardworking person.

 

Developing positive attributes gives me a greater sense of satisfaction than hearing someone compliment me. I appreciate the chances I get to build my character and be an upstanding member of society.

 

I use compliments to reinforce that things are going well with my soul. My belief is that my inner self determines what I am able to give to the world.

 

 

Today, celebrating my life and achievements is my priority because they are rooted in positivity. I embrace kind words from others as an indication that I am on the right path to building a strong and kind soul.

 

Self-Reflection Questions:

 

  1. Which compliments make me feel self-conscious?
  2. How much time do I spend empowering myself with kind words?
  3. What aspects of my character are deserving of recognition?

Wasting Time With Micro Timewasters

I t's   funny how we  notice when we waste time on a large scale. We notice that we spend an hour on social media or watch TV for three hours. However, these aren’t the only ways we waste time. We waste time in dozens of ways each day. Many of these time wasters aren’t always obvious, but the time can really add up over the course of a day, a week, or a decade. Your time is your most valuable commodity. Think about it, you can always make more money, but you can never make more time. We all have the same 24 hours a day. So in order to make the most of it, we need to be very cautious about time wasters. Don’t let your time just be frittered away! Imagine how much you could accomplish in that time! What could you do that really matters to you? Guard your time from the micro timewasters with these strategies: 1. Always have a phone charger with you. How many times a week do you need a phone charger and have to go into the other room to fetch it? Have multiple chargers and keep th...

Where are you going?!

What is it about hitting a milestone in your life that makes you freak out?        I remember turning thirty and thinking I'm a stay at home mom, I need to have this perfect home, be the perfect wife and all will be well. Ok miss Cleaver how did that work out for ya? By the time I hit forty I was full blown alcoholic in rehab and not home and kids not speaking to me. I've done a lot of stupid stuff that led me to that point. Stuff I can't change.       And so now here I sit 48 going on 49 and feeling like Whoa, where has my life gone?! Now I did clean up my act. I now work as a case manager for an addiction treatment facility and my kids do speak to me. I actually have a grandson that has stolen my heart. I am blessed. I live with my sister and her husband, which isn't the worst thing in the world but I want more. I'm also in school trying to better my life. But like I said I want more. Every time I think about wanting more my heart races and my ...
