Hungry are ya!

Friday 12th April 2019
Spend your day appreciating every little thing that comes your way and you'll end the day feeling deeply grateful for your life. 

We're talking about having a positive mind in my workshops this week, you're more likely to succeed after all if you believe in yourself.  This conversation has digressed to the power of your words and others, the things people say to you and you say to others, but also to yourself.

Three words that are being thrown at me almost daily at the moment by my mom, who thanks to Alzheimers has developed quite the vicious tongue, these come as I sit down to eat my dinner, she looks over at my plate and says, 'Hungry are ya!', it's said with a degree of venom, not in a nice way and when translated, she isn't asking me if I'm hungry at all, she's accusing me of being greedy!  I don't even know if she realises how hurtful those words are, but she has an excuse.  So many people out there say hurtful things all the time, sometimes just because they don't think before they speak.  So many of you are guilty of such cruel words but you're directing them at yourself, breaks my heart.

If you know you're guilty of giving yourself a hard time with your negative thoughts, please start to notice you're doing it and correct yourself, trust me you are BeYOUtiful, plus you're pretty awesome too.  If you're my member reading this, I know how incredible you are because I've met you and trust me you are out this world.  

Finish this sentence, 10 things that are great about me.... (and by that I mean you not me!) 

If you struggle to come up with ten immediately, then you can take as long as it takes, get a piece of paper and carry it round with you and keep adding to it, ask others if you need to, hell make it a list of 20, better still don't stop, just keep adding to it everything you think of something else.
