purge my life of useless items, people, thoughts, feelings, habits...etc.

The material items are so much easier to get rid of than the thoughts, feelings and habits. Negativity is so much easier than positivity.

slowly, but surely, I will de-clutter my life…. one bag of donations, one negative person, one bad feeling at a time.

but i do think that you can get to a place where you are equipped to deal with these hassles on a daily basis. More than ever before i feel like i have the ability to look at my emotions objectively, love people regardless of how they treat me, be disciplined to direct my life.. so think i will check this as complete. perhaps if life takes a turn for the worse i will reevaluate….:)

Everyday I feel that I am being set free by several realizations. First of all, that I have control over my life. I get to CHOOSE it. Even if things come into my life that I don’t like, I can choose how I respond to them and therefore reduce their power over me. Also, there is no benefit to being hard on yourself. When you focus on the things that you did “wrong”( i used to do this every night before i went to sleep)...you actually bring more of that behavior and response into your life by way of magnetic attraction. Thoughts have are magnetic. We are energy. When you think of life in those simple terms, its liberating. Do I want to be the energy force that exhilirates everyone when i enter a room or the one that drains people when I enter a room….. think about it. Its a trip.

Thoughts are things! Sounds very elementary but truly they create your reality by shaping how you respond to situations.and perhaps even creating situations themselves? I don’t feel that I have grasped this to its full extent but it has caused me to do some serious thinking…. even thinking about thinking. I tend to be someone who analyzes everything, every angle, every possibility… according to the law of attraction does that mean I’m attracting those things to myself? If so than I’d really like to rid myself of those poor thoughts.

You’re never really done with this kind of goal…

i got rid of some useless things yesterday

Most of my life I have been someone who wants everyone to be happy. This has been at my own expense. I’ve been in romantic relationships, friendships, work situations, etc where I have gained nothing and the others have gained all. I’m all for sacrifice and selflessness. I want to give to people. But there comes a time in everyone’s life when you need to do what is best for you. Maybe that means not being friends with certain people, not feeling like I’m obligated to be there friend because i always have, not beating myself up over a failed relationship. Nows that time, at my ripe age of 22.75 (ha!)I will think about my life and what I need to do to ensure a positive, emotionally healthy, secure future. And for the first time ever…. THATS OK. Yeah me.

there’s this lady i work with who is constantly bitching and saying things like “Well, I told her that if she lives under MY house she’ll live by MY rules! I don’t put up with anyone’s buulllshit! blah blah blah blah blah blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dig that she practices tough love with her kids, that she stands up for herself and stuff. But OMG, I don’t wanna hear about it the whole time I’m at work.

Bad thing is we’re the only two girls on the crew and of course, I get stuck with her most of the time. (After all, the guys don’t want to have to listen to it.)
