Facing the lies with truth...

Due to recent things going on in my life I have started to have a bad attitude. In this attitude I realize I have been lying to myself. I have been listening and believing these lies. Therefore, I'm going to face them and then replace it with truth....

I am a bad mother.... I am a wonderful mother. I love my kids and would do anything and everything for them. I will raise them in the way they need to be raised. I will be a good example to them. I will pray for them and be there for them. I will forgive them when they do wrong and praise them when they do good. I will lift them up when they are down and I will not overbear them with too many expectations. I will teach them to reach for their goals and always do the best they can do. I will be proud of them whether they become a doctor or a hair stylist.

I am a bad wife... I am a good wife. I love my husband and will do anything and everything for him. I will love him no matter what. I will pray for him and believe in him. I will hold my hand out for him to hold onto and I will not point my finger at him in accusation. I will come to him with problems, I will listen to his counsil. I will believe in him. I will gently speak the truth to him when he's wrong. I will step back and not smother him when I think he should do things my way. I will be proud of him.

I'm a bad housekeeper.... Even though I am almost always behind in laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, decluttering, mopping and sweeping.... hey...I'M A BAD HOUSEKEEPER!! That's okay, I can do better. www.flylady.com I can do it. I CAN do it.

My finances are a wreck and I will get ahold of them. I can work and save and pay off. I can do without things. I don't HAVE to have a starbucks. Folgers will do.

I have been way too negative lately. I have decided to change my mindset. I can do this. I cannot do this alone. I will ask for help when needed.

There. I feel better
