It's so amazing to me how, on the good days, how really good they feel. Today was such a day. I had a little bout of negativity come creeping in and I recognized it right away. I did some work to get through that and the rest of the day turned our fantastic. I felt great and I was able to be present. I just refused to give into the dark side and said, you know what, screw you!! I am so sick and tired of that horrible, evil voice that says that I'm not good enough, not worthy enough, not anything enough. I think you know what I mean ... it's that nagging voice on your shoulder that tells you that you're just not a good person or not deserving of something or tells you that you can't do something. I am doing some good work around muting that voice more and more. The last assignment I did when I wrote positive things to counter the negative things has really helped me step back when that pops up. It's taking effort, but I do believe I am worth the effort. In fact, scratch that, I know I am worth the effort.
Speaking of effort, I just got the grade from the stats class I just finished and I am now done with math! I don't ever have to take another formal class that gives me a headache from long and complicated formulas, God willing. I'll have to keep up on the skills for entrance into grad school but I am doing a happy dance right now. Woooo hoooo ;-) Guess that helped to make this day a really yummy one.

I am so happy for you, Sunny! You are an inspiration. :) Keep up the good work!!
Congrats on being done with math! Math is definitely not my thing! That's why God gave us words, right? Congrats also on combatting the negative thinking and self talk. This is definitely an area where I could use some growth. One day, one thing at a time.
Thanks, Ladies. I get that all of this takes work. Admittedly, sometimes I don't want to do it but eventually I come around.
Wonderful news about the math class! I too hate math, but had to go though those classes. I survived, but it was tough.
Oh that nasty devil will speak negative words into our ear, but you have the strength to shut his voice down and you are exercising that strength. Good for you!
He bases what he says on lies or half truths. We are not worthy, he is right because only God is worthy, but that is what the Grace of God is all about. Unmerited favor. We are accepted and loved just as we are. God is good!
