These are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. There were some other religious ones. They are all in a tiny note pad in storage in another country. I had over 50 of them. These are the ones I can remember at the moment.
I hate it when people talk bad about themselves. I hate it when people tell their kids: Don't run! When they should be saying: Walk. Or slow down. People keep saying what they don't want. It drives me nuts. Focus on what you DO want. Be aware of how you talk to yourself. And others. Do you say: Don't be late! Or do you say: It will be awesome if you are on time! Do you say: I won't eat ice cream, I won't eat ice cream - and then wonder why you are obsessed with ice cream and your diet never works? Do you walk around calling people weird all the time? I do. I have changed it to "People are incredibly unique, and I am constantly amazed". Attitude is everything. Hey, that sounds like an affirmation right there, doesn't it?
I can't sleep. I was all set to sleep. But this kind of thing still haunts me. I created a new affirmation.
I am thankful for what I think is wrong!
Because chances are that it's just my perspective that needs to change. Chances are the only thing worse than my problem, is how bad I feel about my problem. Have you ever had a weekend where you had to go do something, and you thought you were going to hate it, and you spent time and energy dreading it? And then it turned out to be ok. Or even good. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised, but what a waste of negative energy. I have good health. But even if I had bad health, then I would say: I am thankful for my health. Because if I had bad health, I would be learning and sharing how to help make it better. And I would work on being the best patient that my doctor ever had, if just for amusement sake. If I had a health issue, I would be ridiculously positive and say: Well, now there is room in my life for some miracles to happen.
I am thankful that I can't sleep. Because it gives me time to explore a new thought. I am thankful for the one bleepity bleeping mosquito that is buzzing randomly around my ear. It has to be Samara-quiet to hear a single mosquito. They make a terrible sound with their tiny wings beating at 300 to 600 times per second. And I just know it wants to vampire suck my blood. And I know that if it lands on my keyboard, I will change this whole post in a million different ways trying to squash it's tiny little brains out. And I know that if I don't succeed in ending it's life, it will get me while I'm sleeping. And mosquitos are one of the deadliest animals on earth. They spread disease. And it's the dang females, when they want to lay eggs. Yeah, I just Googled some mosquito facts, I didn't know that off the top of my head. I also learned that putting deodorant on bug bites helps with the itching. I'm going to try and sleep again. I wonder how many times one mosquito would bite me in one night? Hopefully one meal, and then I can continue my Hunt and Kill in the morning. Before she lays those eggs.
Ron swears by drier sheets, he read somewhere that it keeps the mosquitos away. Maybe I will sleep with some Bounce tonight. I already found 2 bites. But I'm thankful for them, and I'll tell you why. Because Paradise doesn't exist without bugs. I'm not in snow covered Utah right now. I'm in a sunny jungle. I've had my share of bites. One Sunday the bites on my legs were so red, and so plentiful that I had to pick an outfit based on wearing a skirt that went down to my toes. Pura vida, baby. Then I go for a while with no bites. Then I go to a Costa Rican sunset on the beach, and I'm all bit up and itchy again. There is a price for Paradise, my friends.
