Self-confidence..

โ€ข22 Replies

I am lacking confidence in what I am trying to accomplish from my daily life to my medical journey..

It happens when I feel sick or tired..

Then I tend to procrastinate and postpone things to do...

I tend to doubt..

Itโ€™s ok I know I must pull through, not let it slide..

I need reminding of the beauty around me..I need to get out the house, breathe and look around..

I need meditation..

๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿงš๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ๐ŸŒธ

If you feel like me today or any other day..

Just some general affirmations from Belleruth Naparstek to help us feel more positive. Choose the ones you like best :

To repeat in our head while breathing deeply, eyes closed..

ยซ I know that I can bring more energy, strength and focus into my life.

I can see myself becoming kinder and more forgiving to myself and others.

More and more I understand that when I make mistakes, it means I have been successful at trying things.

I know that I can respect others, feel compassion for them, yet not be driven by their opinions.

I know that I am learning to listen to my body and sense what it needs.

More and more I know I have the power to change, that each breath, each step is a new beginning.

My body is my ally, my oldest friend and my steadiest companion.

More and more I can take the time to touch a leaf, smell the morning and receive the caress of the soft breeze on my face.

I can see and feel a radiant sunlight entering and warming my body, sending a message of comfort and peace deep into my heart.

I can see and feel the power of a blue green wave of healing, washing through me from head to toe, clearing away any unwanted debris and taking it out with the tide.

More and more I know that I can ask for help, accomplish what I love to do, feel relaxed and ready.ยป

Aria knows best when to rest ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Playing with that string was just exhausting๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a good day ๐Ÿค—

Thank you for meditations, I especially like Ariaโ€™s! I too doubt and procrastinate when Iโ€™m tired and ill, maybe weโ€™re too overwhelmed with other things to have the strength to believe in ourselves and trust in our judgments. I hope you feel better all round soon โœจโญ๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š

That's the key to your recovery Fran, a good night's sleep. THAT's when the body heals itself. I find half a codeine and paracetamol tablet helpful or maybe a herbal nytol, on a bad night, always read a book for about half an hour in bed before settling down. Not too warm a bedroom. No drinks after seven to save all those trips to the loo. Best wishes, Iris x

So glad you slept, Fran ๐Ÿ˜ด โ€ฆโ€ฆat last, you poor thing.๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน

Iโ€™m still on broken evenings and nights with my mother, .....not sure where we go from here.

Weโ€™ll keep practising, as you say, it will get us through this โ€˜hilly countryโ€™! โ›ฐ๐Ÿ—ปโ›ฐ ๐Ÿง—๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ Ha!

No yoga class for me today ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ.....itโ€™s moved temporarily to a very dusty, carpeted hall. My heart fell when I arrived last week....used my inhaler swiftly....thought Iโ€™d cracked it, but no! I breathed ok there after my spot of Bricanyl, but it must have opened my airways but not stopped the inflammation happening....Iโ€™ve been struggling since. Iโ€™m ok again today, but darenโ€™t go back!

Have a good day, Fran ๐Ÿ’• so glad youโ€™re on the up....the view will be amazing when we get there.....weโ€™ll take a photo! ๐Ÿž๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ’ซ

Big hug ๐Ÿค— Penny xx ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ
