I Am Going To Trust My Hopes, Not My Fears

"You must strive to become much less susceptible to influences outside of yourself and much more inclined to trust the instincts and feelings that lie within you." ~ Bob Proctor

That's a pretty powerful quote, I know that I have rarely relied upon my inner self and I didn't trust me to always make good decisions.  I constantly looked outside of me for the answers.  Not that there are not wonderful people with amazing ideas but I'm one of those people, I just need to believe that.


When and where did I stop believing in myself?  I know a lot of this starts at home and I never had that positive influence while I was growing up. I no longer have that excuse, I'm an adult.....  I will heal the little girl inside, she will feel the love from me that she so desperately needed growing up.

I also heard and incredibly eye opening thought tonight, I heard it and went, AHHH...  When we say 'I am fat, I am ugly, I am not worthy, I am unlovable, etc....  The truth is that what follows I am is what we become.  


So, going forward, I am healthy, I am beautiful, I am lovable, I am worthy....  For every negative I am thought, I am consciously going to change that thought to a positive I am thought.  I want this to become second nature, so that eventually a positive I am thought will happen immediately. 

What we think, we become.  I have even had Valentina start this, in the morning I say 'I am?  She has answered with, 'I am beautiful', 'I am smart', I am good at math'.  Here's the wonderful thing, she doesn't even hesitate, she just throws out positive I am's.  Exactly what I want to do when I say an I am thought!

  1. Launna, I really like this idea of replacing negative thougths with positive ones and then living them until you become them. I think I need to do this too. This is a great way to build self esteem, I think. I hope you have a nice day!

  2. I agree Daisy, the first thing I do is say thank you when I wake up, I then say I am beautiful and I stopped saying I was tired. Just 3 days in and I feel better already. I know it's a process and it will take time but I'm going to do this. Thanks for your comment Daisy;).

I love and appreciate all genuine comments, to save a little time, I won't be commenting on the comments on my blog (unless you don't have a blog), I will just visit your blog and comment there, if you have left a meaningful comment for me... I would much rather spend the time reading and commenting on a few extra blogs ❤
