I was talking to some people yesterday and afterwords I just felt bad. Like I had been real negative and complained a lot, not what I want to do, or who I want to be. I heard a someone say that sometimes we act or do things that are bad or not good for us and it helps us see that we don't want to do it. Rather than beat yourself up about what you have done, you just say to yourself OK self, that's not what I wanted, I am not going to do that again, repent and move on. It can be so easy to wallow in the bad things that we do or mistakes that we make and beat ourselves up and believe that we can't be any better than we are, but where is the purpose or joy in that? I choose to have hope that I can consistently get better, that I can accomplish much more than my insecurities have allowed me to in the past.
So what am I going to do? I am going to avoid the negative people in my life that bring out the worst in me for a while, as much as possible, while I become stonger at being positive. I am going to work to surround myself with positive people and positivity. I am researching positive quotes, I pretty much have my old ones memorized now, time to replace them. Last but definately not least, I am going to pray to my Father in Heaven to help me kick out negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts day and night until I know I am strong enought that I won't let negative people suck me in and encourage me to be negative with them.
