Hello Friends!
Something unexpected happened...
Repeating my truth statements went pretty well yesterday. Honestly, it didn't seem that I had any lies pop into my head throughout the day except one. However, just before getting into bed, I had several come to my mind.😳 I keep paper by my bed and so I wrote them down, but left it at that.
This morning I felt a little down and didn't really want to wake up and start going on my day. Perhaps having those lies in my mind right before I go to sleep affects me more than I realize. Plus, it took me quite a while to be able to fall asleep. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that focusing on lies would create feelings of sadness, a level of depression, and not wanting to move forward. I just didn't think it would be so noticeable that quickly.
If that happens again, I think that I will turn them to truths right away and repeat those truths before going to bed. The difference I feel from having those lies in my mind and then changing them to truths lifts my spirit already.
It felt pretty good watching those lies burn this morning!
I actually had one come to mind during our MDM meeting that the discussion brought to mind regarding something with my kids. One that bothers me a LOT. I immediately wrote it down with a truth. It was so refreshing to read that. Thanks for doing this. I've known this as a tool, but hadn't really used it before.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so happy that you are using the tool and seeing a difference. I, too, have known about this tool for a long time, but have only used it a couple of times...until now. It's been so helpful already.
