End of the Month Assessment #3 of 12

Hi Team:


Here we are, at the end of another month! How did you do? Are you plugging along, setting one foot in front of the other, moving towards your much anticipated goals? Are you realizing the potential to 'Make it Happen'? What are you doing that's successful? What's working in your favor? Who is your main cheerleader? What kind of opposition have you met up with? Have you found more opposition within yourself or opposition that lies outside of yourself? How are you dealing with the opposition, obstacles, etc.?   


If you're still 'stuck in the mud', you'd better begin figuring out why. The answer lies within. Begin by taking a good, long, detailed look at yourself, your habits, your eating patterns, exercise habits, how you spend your time, and most importantly.....YOUR THOUGHTS. 


Yes, our THOUGHTS pre-determine much of our outcome. 


If you're listening to negative self-talk, you better start looking in the mirror every time you catch yourself saying something you'd never say to anyone else, and say three positive things you like about yourself, as you look at yourself in the mirror. The key here is not to repeat the same three things each time you look at yourself. You'll either be standing in front of the mirror for a long period of time (family members will begin to wonder if you've gone over the edge), or you'll learn very quickly to stop feeding yourself negative input. 


You know, it's a blessing we can think and say things 'quietly' within ourselves. Yet, for many, it's also a demon that lets loose way too often, unbridled. Face it, if a stranger spoke the same words to you, you'd be shocked. Don't allow yourself to go on a rampage, even if you've screwed up. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it, take responsibility for it, make up for it, and realize you are human, and it's perfectly human to screw up every now and then. As long as it is not life-threatening, suck up and move on.


We've had three months time to make some progress, healthy progress. All I ask as we enter month four, April, is that you think about what you're thinking, and saying to yourself, and others. 


Simply be 'mindful'. 


You can learn much about yourself with this simple, yet very effective mental exercise. Learn immediately to recognize the spiritual thoughts from the ego based thoughts. Learn to free yourself of the negativity. This is an area where YOU are the one COMPLETELY IN CHARGE of what you do with the banter. Accept or reject. One will keep you on the path to your goals, the other will steer you as far away from them as possible.


May month number four by a success for you!


Health!
