I want to be healthier. I need to change my behavior to do that and I need to not get in my own way. I need to build up my confidence in myself I need a series of successful experiences behind me of changing my own behavior. I need to do it to prove to myself that I can do it. I think that I will be happier with myself if I do. I need to remind myself that I am happier when I accomplish the things that I set out to do. Like completing my words everyday. When I am a reliable human being, it makes me feel good. Especially when I can rely on myself. And instead of acknowledging that foresight, I have been concentrating too much on my dislike for the task at hand. I need to think of the future because that is how I know what tools to use to shape my present. I need these affirmations today. I need this focus. I need to remember why I need to do the things that I need to do and why they are important. And I need to allow them to be important to me. Too often do I allow myself to not care about things because in the grand scheme of things they really “don’t matter”. Well self, in the grand scheme of things (to quote Queen) “nothing really matters,” but that’s no way to live is it? Because you don’t really believe that. You want things to matter. Because that gives meaning to your life. That gives you a reason to not only exist but to LIVE. And you want to live your life, don’t you? So dare to care about the things and the people and the tasks in your life. They are important to you and to your life therefore THEY ARE IMPORTANT. Now go do your words and the other important things on your to-do list. And recognize that each thing helps you take a positive step in the direction you need to go in order to live the life you want.
