How to stop negative self-talk
It took me
2 years
It made me
confident

How I did it: Therapy! haha!! Seriously. It took someone on the outside to help me realize how often I was telling myself negative things.  Once I realized what I was telling myself and how often, it was easy to stop myself.  The more I stopped the thoughts the more confidence I had. The more confidence I had, the less the thoughts came!  Read how I did it…

How to be forgiving
It took me
2 years
It made me
Grateful

How I did it: I don't even know. I think its a matter of time and letting go. It probably took me so long because I wasn't ready to let go of the anger. Anger was all I had left of the situation.

Not waste the pretty
Men... 3 months ago

I seem to attract the typical “He’s just not that into you” guy. You know, the one that doesn’t call. The one that is constantly making excuses. The one that tells you everything you want to hear and then poof disappears. Well I’m not going to “waste the pretty” anymore.

forgive myself
this is gonna be tough... 5 months ago

After hours in therapy getting my anger I finally realized that I’m angry at myself. At first it was anger towards my ex-husband for leaving me when I got sick. The anger and blame quickly turned towards myself for marrying someone like him and even getting sick.. things that I shouldn’t blame myself for but I do. So… time to work on forgiving myself.
