Happy Monday and day after Easter, folks!
After what felt like Summer-like weather this past week for a few days, Mother Nature decided to once again give us the ugly entities of cold, rainy temperatures.
BOO.
Like double and triple BOO.
Let’s hope that sunshine and warm weather is right around the corner with those Spring flowers.
Eliminate and elevate.
The last 40 days have been a journey that I was both successful and not successful with—eliminating some elements of my life in order to elevate some elements of my life at the same time.
SUCCESSES:
-Not watching The Golden Girls.
-Not watching Encanto.
-Not eating any candy (minus the three or four M&M’s that were part of raw cookie dough I got from work). My coworkers can attest to how upset I was when I took those couple of bites. I also enjoyed ONE dark chocolate peanut butter egg the night before Easter.
-Not drinking any Dr. Pepper and soda.
-Starting each day with a positive affirmation.
FAILURES:
-Scrolling on social media after 10:30pm…definitely still did that. It can be a toxic habit!
-Reading at least three times a week. I did get a few pages in here and there, but definitely not as much as I wanted.
Just goes to show that wr all have successes and failures.
And we all could benefit from a little eliminating from our lives in order to elevate them.
Today’s post is a reminder of all 40 positive affirmations I used during this journey.
My hope is that you will continue to use them when you need them most or just want to get your day started with that extra jolt of positivity.
