Hello Everyone,

We all would love to feel good about ourselves and think we are the grestest person God has ever made. We are special, talented, loving, friendly, caring, praise ourself often, we enjoy living a good life and going anywhere we would like to go and live life to the fullest.

WHAT IS YOUR MIND OR THOUGHTS TELLING YOU?

Are you thinking negative thoughts (which is a bad habit that we developed) thoughts that are NOT TRUE. Thoughts that make us feel bad, sad, depressed, I'm going crazy, scary thoughts, I am going to die, I'm going to be dizzy, I can't drive because of these body symptoms I am feeling, I can't go out of the house it's too scary, etc. etc. etc.!!!!

Or are you thinking Positive thoughts (which are true) we all need to work on these because of our BAD HABIT OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. Take your time and be patient with yourself. It takes time to break a BAD HABIT. But you will get there!

POSITIVE THOUGHTS: I feel great today, I am happy, I am safe, I am a good person, I have talents, I love myself, I enjoy being with other people, I enjoy driving, I am a strong person, I have goals, etc. etc. etc.!!!

WHICH THOUGHTS MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER OR MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE? Which thoughts bring your spirits up and make you feel good about yourself?

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, ONLY YOU CAN DO IT!

Happy Face!!!

Thanks, I really needed this today!

I am just starting the program and my mind must think I'm stupid, since it repeats the same negative things over and over. Even though I KNOW many of the things I say to myself AREN'T true, I look for ways to prove the demons right. What can I do?

i just started the program today after trying it one year ago i couldnt keep up i made so many excuses not to do it like i can do it on my own i am a man but ive come to reallize im not superman i have to many issues to list here but all i realy wanna say i hope i dont go backwards i really want to improve i am not happy all i think i want is to b happy whatever that is i have a personality disorder and its killed me my whole life well again isay i hope to improve

Hello angela,

You are a very special person (you may not think so) but I do! Look at all the talents you have and love to do. You love taking pictures, you are a hairstylist and make-up artist. There are many many things that you enjoy doing. Don't allow your mind to think that you are worthless. You are just not thinking good about yourself. PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK FOR GETTING THIS PROGRAM AND LEARNING NEW SKILLS THAT WILL HELP YOU RECOVER AND GET YOUR HAPPINESS BACK YOU DESERVE.

I was just like you 4 years ago I had the same stupid negative thoughts. My life was a total mess. I suffered with severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression and agoraphobia of getting in elevators, driving in cars or a truck or a bus, I had social anxiety, my life was worthless.

But, thanks to the program learning my new skills and overcoming all of my limitations that were holding me back I now can say that I am recovered. I enjoy my life and drive on the highways, go in elevators, etc.

I also was a hairstylist for 25 years and worked in the salon. And suffered with my anxiety problems while working on clients. It was not easy. You will get your life back just do the program, listen to the tapes, change your thinking to more positive thoughts and please believe me when I tell you I have been where you are and I have recovered fully.

Happy Face!!!

Hi Sandina,

Thank you for your response to my post. I am glad that I made your day. But, you have to think your own positive thoughts every minute of the day. Remember this negative thinking is a BAD HABIT that we have and we need to change it. WE FEEL THE WAY WE THINK!

Our minds are always always thinking even when we don't even notice it. And most of the time it is negative thinking. I still catch myself sometimes doing it even through I have gone through the program 4 years ago. My attitude has really changed to think more positive then how I used to think before the program. If I would still be thinking negative like I used to I would have never been where I am today. I have a whole new way of how I view a situation then I did before.

So girl, PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK MORE INSTEAD OF BEATING YOURSELF UP! You deserve it you are a very special person. Start enjoying your life that God has given you and STOP FEEDING YOURSELF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS THAT WILL KEEP YOU IN YOUR DARK BLACK HOLE.

Happy Face!!!

I feel the same way. It's like all I've known is how to talk negative to myself, and now that I am trying to change that, it feels weird. But I've been told that change happens outside ones comfort zone, so it's going to feel weird at firts.

Thanks Happy Face! That's a really inspirational, uplifting, and well written post! I've read it over several times! It helped quite a bit! We all need to to remember these things, and how easy it is to just let things slide! I'll read it daily.

Peace and Hugs

Hi Girl Wisdom,

Thank you so much for your kind words about my topic Listen! Your Mind is talking. We all need to remind ourselves our minds are thinking constantly, every minute of the day and night. And most of the time they are negative, or scary thoughts that we developed over the years. And only we have the power to change what we are saying to ourselves. No one else can do it for us, we have to do it all my ourselves. We have to lift ourselves up pat ourselves on the back and say you did a great job! Or I love myself I really don't care what anybody else thinks.

I love your picture one half is an animal and the other half is a women. We should not compare ourselves to others because we are very unique and special in our own way. Do not follow someone else's footsteps create your own and feel good about who you are as a human being because God made you to be the very best person you can be. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are.

Happy Face!!!
