Ever notice how when things are running along smoothly that little voice pops up and says, something is going to go wrong!!!??? Seriously that is when I need to just bitch slap that voice and ignore it. Every once in a while I will doubt myself and give into that voice. Then of course all hell breaks loose. Things do start falling apart. I hate it. I need to get re-centered, re-focused, and in a positive mind frame. It happens more then I would like to admit!
I had a friend in tonight and she said something very VALID. Would it not be fabulous if people caught us saying something negative, about ourselves or situations that they just made a "buzz" or "BEEP" sound??? Wouldn't that be a fantastic way to see how much negativity flies out of our mouths and minds?? Yeah would be annoying, would also make us realize what we are doing. I thought about what she said (thanks Shannon your rock sister) and I thought maybe I will do that to people! No worries, but I am going to try to do it to myself. AS SOON AS that little negative voice enters... BZZZZZ ;-)
I have a challenge for you, try it. Buzz yourself when you here the negative voice. See how many times your doing it. Might make you stop and think a little harder on how we put ourselves down so much.
Let me know if you try it!
