Sheba, where has the year gone? I know it’s still hard for you and you have been through so much. Glad the butterfly comes around to see you. Soon you will be in Colorado and get to visit all your family!
The necklace is still in packaging. If I could cancel it I would, wish that was an option when something just sits in packaging for days and days. Not that I am in a hurry though. I will let you know when it gets here.
It’s a warm day here, we have good weather most of the year. That’s why I prefer to walk or hike. It’s great to get outside. I remember the heat and humidity Oodie mentions, plus all the snow, ice and rain, so until I moved to CA, I was inside a lot. 🙂

I did not do my cleaning today. Mom went to lunch with some ladies from her neighborhood so sis and I went shopping at Costco and went out for lunch. That basically took most of the morning and afternoon since we took our time. We enjoyed it.🥰

When I got my shots I got them both in the same arm.💪 I asked the nurse and she said it didn’t matter. Since I am right-handed, both were in my left arm. In case my arm got sore, I could still brush my teeth, comb my hair, wipe my behind, etc., etc. The first shot I felt nothing; the second my arm was sore but not real bad where I couldn’t lift it. Happy you are almost there!💉😊

Thank you for thinking of Jake. I miss him sooooo much, it feels so empty in the house.😥 I will make sure I give him extra kisses from you and Poppy.💕

Have a cool Tuesday. 😎🌹

Being Hard On Ourselves

When we are hard on ourselves, we send our bodies the message that we are not good enough.

One of the key components of human consciousness that most of us need to address and change is our tendency to be hard on ourselves. We do this in ways that are both overt and subtle, and half the work sometimes is recognizing that we are doing it at all. For example, if we find it difficult to graciously accept compliments, this is probably a sign that we tend to be hard on ourselves. Other ways in which we express this tendency include never feeling satisfied with a job well done, always wanting to be and do better, and getting mad at ourselves for getting sick. Getting mad at ourselves at all indicates that we need to rescue ourselves from our learned ability to be unkind to ourselves.

In essence, when we are hard on ourselves, we send our bodies the message that we are not good enough. Whenever we do this, we do damage that will need to be addressed later, and we sap our systems of much-needed energy. Being hard on ourselves is a waste of precious time and energy that we could use in positive ways. To begin to understand how this works, we can think about times when someone made us feel that we weren’t good enough. Even just thinking about it will create an effect in our bodies that doesn’t feel good. We may be used to the feeling, but when we really tune into it, we instinctively know that it is not good for us on any level.

Like any bad habit, being hard on ourselves can be a challenging one to release, but the more we feel the burden it places on us, the more motivated we will be to change. At first, just noticing when we are doing it and how it makes us feel is enough. As our awareness increases, our innate impulse toward health and well-being will be activated, moving us out of danger and into a more positive and more natural relationship with ourselves. 😎🌹
