Do This Instead

There is a series of articles on the internet with the subject of don’t eat this, do eat this and the articles compare calories and fat of different foods. It’s often quite an eye opener to find  many dishes that are so high in fat, sodium and calories but I suspect that lots of folks still eat them. These articles inspired me to write today's post as a don’t do that, do this instead.

1. Don’t affirm what you don’t want. And by that I mean do not say things like; I am fat, I am sick or I am broke even if any of those things are true. DO affirm what you want; I look great, I feel great, my supply is unlimited. Yes, you might need to lose weight, you might not be healthy or you might not be rich but we never forget that words create.

2. Don’t worry, DO trust and believe because you cannot believe and worry at the same time.

3. Don’t hold onto anger, DO forgive. Yeah, I know you don’t want to, they did you wrong, it’s just not right, it hurts like hell but holding onto anger makes it hurt a lot more and for longer. Find something bigger than your anger, get busy with whatever project you can think of; reinvent yourself, go back to school, volunteer somewhere, play some game like Frontierville, exercise, read, just get busy and get over it because that is how you leave it behind.

4. Don’t feed your mind crap (you know information that is negative, opinions about how bad everything & everyone is, that sort of thing), DO feed your mind good materials that help you grow (you can go back to previous posts to find some recommended materials) and spend at least 20-30 minutes a day (yes, every day) with that good material.

5. Don’t drift though life, DO have dreams & goals & visualize for a few minutes everyday. See yourself happy, (get a picture of yourself laughing and happy if that's what it takes) and enjoying life.

I am sure I could make this list a top ten but these will do for starters.

 

 

It is not really different when you tell people
