goals for 48 hours NBR

credcat7

Going to try this test to see if I can go 48 hours and not speak negative thoughts, stay positive.  At the very least the effort MAY make me relize how often I tend to go into the negative mind frame, and possibly start self correcting myself.  Negativity is something I see in others a lot and I am sure I am just as guilty of it.

On a good note I just went through the famous hand me down bins and pulled out at least 40 (forty!) 12 month outfits for sammie and put them all away for use and packed up anything that said 6 months on the tag.  now to write a ton of thank you cards to friends, nothing like some free shopping.. AND making room in the nursery!!!

I'm game. I've been trying to say positive things but sometimes it's really hard to stay in that mind frame.

On positive side my birthday is this weekend! Lol. DH took an extra day off work so its a long weekend for him. Hoping for a fun, laughter filled weekend!

I know all too well about the negativity. DH said that my positive outlook is one of the reasons he loves me. Life has not always been great for me, but it has made me who I am today. So, despite bad times, I count my blessings and think about how many more I have to come.

That is an awesome goal @credcat7! I tend to be a very positive person but sometimes I get sucked into negative thoughts too. My husband is a complainer, it drives me crazy sometimes. It's good though that I remind him of how great our life is and he grounds me when I'm being too optimistic about stuff.

I'm generally positive too.  The roomates can sometimes derail me or if We don't get enough sleep... I just want to stay in a better frame of mind all day.....so far so great

@credcat7 Sammie is soooooooo cute!
This is a good goal, I shall give it a try, be positive all weekend. It's so easy to fall into the negative thinking  trap and I have to remember there is a lot to be happy and thankful for.

@excitedmumtobe thanks  

I have succeeded in the positive mind frame and it really has made a difference for me..example:  the fleas... instead of being mad and pissy.. I figured it was a good time to get the living room completely vaccummed and clean the baseboards...

My MIL is really trying my patience. Buth her and DH are being passive aggressive towards each other. I am choosing to take this as an example of how not to behave. My positive note: she lives 3.5 hours away. So, after this weekend, we go back into hiding.
