Self-confidence..

22 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..

It’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..

😉🧚🏻‍♀️💫🌸

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..

« 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.»

Aria knows best when to rest 😃

Playing with that string was just exhausting😉

Have a good day 🤗

Thank you for meditations, I especially like Aria’s! I too doubt and procrastinate when I’m tired and ill, maybe we’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 ✨⭐️☀️🕊

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

Thank you for the advice Iris 🌸

So glad you slept, Fran 😴 ……at last, you poor thing.🌹🌹🌹

I’m still on broken evenings and nights with my mother, .....not sure where we go from here.

We’ll keep practising, as you say, it will get us through this ‘hilly country’! ⛰🗻⛰ 🧗🏻‍♀️🧗‍♂️ Ha!

No yoga class for me today 🧘‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘‍♂️.....it’s moved temporarily to a very dusty, carpeted hall. My heart fell when I arrived last week....used my inhaler swiftly....thought I’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....I’ve been struggling since. I’m ok again today, but daren’t go back!

Have a good day, Fran 💕 so glad you’re on the up....the view will be amazing when we get there.....we’ll take a photo! 🏞🌠💫

Big hug 🤗 Penny xx 🌸🌿
