Queen of "self help"
We played a game not long ago called "Voting", questions were asked and everyone voted for who they thought the answer most applied. One question was "who has the most self help books?" Out if the 10 of us playing, I got 7 votes. Yes, I am a self help book junky and I'm not ashamed.
This week, I'm trying something new, a self help "class" via a website that I frequent daily. It simply is to retrain your mindset from negative to positive, something I desperately need to learn to do. Negative Ninnie isn't who I want to be. There is even a workbook that you download and print off, 46 pages but well worth the wait of my ancient printer.
Session four's assignment is titled "I want some of that", where we are asked to write down the names of 3 people who inspire us. That's easy ✔ Next, we write down the attractive qualities that these 3 people possess. Easy again✔ As I am writing down these qualities that they possess, qualities I want to see in myself, I recognize something, out of the 13 desired characteristics, there are only 3 that I am lacking a high consistent amount of. (I have them, yet they come and go which is the problem)
~Positivity
~Self Confidence
~Drive
As I was writing these values that I admire down, I realized that these three, at least in my mind and in my life, go hand in hand. It's a vicious little circle that I am chasing my tail in. Once I get a grasp on one, then two, then three will kick in. Wow, for most, it's a no brainer, for me, it's an eye opener.
One quality I love that I posses..... I am willing to admit that I need to be open to learning and discovering where I need to grow and become a better me.
Self discovery will never get old
Self discovery will never end.
