Good day

[Andy219]

Overall today was a good day. Woke up a bit anxious, but worked through it. Brought my boys out into town. Went to the counselor..... Feeling a bit anxious now. Trying to keep positive thinking. My husband is in a horrible mood. Trying not to be affected by it.

Take care. Just keep with it, it's going to get better. It's hard when someone close to you is in a difficult mood, just keep telling yourself, it's ut him not you. Keep believing in yourself. I found a good quote in a book I was reading.

"Compassion for myself is the most powerful healer of them all." --Theodore Isaac Rubin, MD

and

"Every good thought you think is contributing its share to the ultimate result of your life."--Grenville Kleise

and
Life is a fabulous adventure. It wasn't meant to be lived in fear. --l. basset pg. 15 From Panic to Power

I started leafing through Lucinda's from Panic to Power an found an interesting part

"1. Begin by being compassionate, patient, and gentle with yourself. Stop thinking, saying, and doing things that make you feel bad, anxious, or upset with yourself.
2. Give yourself credit for any successes. The simple act of buying this book shows you are ready for change. Praise yourself for even the smallest accomplishments.
3. Keep an open mind. No matter who you are or what you've been through, I believe you can be helped.
4. Don't overreact to anxious feelings. Instead of fighting them, listen to them..
--Are you tired?
--Are you scaring yourself with your thoughts?
--Relax and let them pass and they will."

Thanks mosaic. Love hearing from you. The quotes are great. Keep sending them my way if you find others.

I read Lucinda's book a few years ago. Good book.

Some great quotes I found today are "loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life."

"The momentI say positive affirmations,I step out of the victim role. I am no longer helpless.i acknowledge my own powers."

"I am in the process of becoming my own best friend, the person I am most joyous to be with."

So glad to hear it. Sometimes I get her book out to use with the sessions then I write down things that strike me. I write in a computer program like word called onenote, I really like it I can put everything together. I have a few quotes on spirituality, on the spirituality section, if that is something you enjoy. I'm glad to hear things are going better. I was pretty depressed a few weeks before Christmas and am feeling so much better now. Just keep reading a listening to the good positive things that will build you up so you can withstand the everyday things. Take care

I struggle with that a lot staying positive when husband or in my case boyfriend is not in a good mood. I even used it as an excuse to smoke (I am trying to quit). I love the quotes from both of you. I know I am trying to put some together so I can call on them for the many situations we face.. like lucinda says.... less affected and more effective. The more we practice the easier it will get.
