thought for the day
|
"They came to visit our summer cottage and brought nothing with them and expected us to feed them!" (ok... and that's all they ever did in their entire life?)"When our baby was born, I lost my whole lifestyle. He could go anywhere and we lived by his calendar, and I no longer had any time of my own!" (Aha, and now the child is grown up and this is all you remember of your child's childhood? No joys in it?)
"Oh him? All he ever does is..."
I'm sure we all do this to some extent. But maybe it would be a good exercise to stop before we talk of a familiar subject and pay attention what we are about to say. Are we repeating the same old sentences over and over? Does this mean we are not even trying to find another angle to the person / issue? Are we perhaps keeping up a vicious circle of negative thinking without even realising we are doing so? Or worse - are we doing it on purpose, not wanting to let go of a perceived wrong.
Next time you notice you are again about to say something negative you have always said about the subject, why don't you NOT say it. Just don't. Pay attention how NOT saying it makes you feel. Does it make you feel... empty? Insecure? Do you perhaps enjoy the empathy you fish from people with your negative "poor-me" story? Are you in a "victim mode"? Why have you chosen that role for yourself?
Interesting exercise to say the least...

quote from space witches 1 / the book of witches

“Oh, George… what a bad boy he was when he was alive,” Matthew raised his head from a book he was reading. “Don't know where to begin telling you the awful stuff he was involved in… he was knocking right at the gates of hell, when he was given a last chance to make good.” “There really is a hell?” I swallowed, and not coffee this time. Dang. Why had I not attended church as my mother wanted me to… “Well, sort of. After all we are not in heaven yet. Or in the heart of hell either. We're all in the same boat together, here in the Waiting Level. And so George was there in the lowest part of the Waiting Level with others of his kind. Now, the amusing thing is, that each bad deed they have ever done that has caused fear, sorrow or depression in others seems to take the form of a gnat of some sort that will not leave them alone for a second. That explains the fauna crawling on his body, d'you see? There might be some flora as well, as dear George here seems to have accumulated quite a bit of dust, mold and not a little dirt in his previous existence. And the horns… well, the bad guys don't get them when they're alive, of course, but if you have killed someone on purpose, they grow on you here. The more people that have been killed, the bigger the horns - some have real antlers. There's no point trying to cut them off. They just grow back. Still, even the bad guys and dolls have a chance, if an angel should decide to work with them to clean the dirt off their soul and body. And Anthony here has a good heart and frequents those dirtier levels in search of souls who might still have a chance… I have no idea what he sees in George, but maybe he can help him get rid of a few spiders and ticks so that he can enter a lighter level of hell.” “Thank you, Matthew,” the old angel said. “I am glad you realise that George has potential. And surely he has it in him to reach even higher levels than hell. One day I am sure we will see his horns vanish.” If George had had a tail, he would have wagged it. “A shower every now and then wouldn’t exactly hinder the process,” Mia commented. George grinned. There was a definite… odor about him for sure.

I sell my books directly too - the ebooks are cheap to buy and the big e-stores don't share much to the author. So I have downloaded my ebooks to Payhip - they don't take commission and I get more to pay for my editor, proofreader and cover designer. All of whom are one-woman businesses themselves. (You get the ebook in your preferred e-reader format.) Buy Space Witches 1 / The Book of Witches directly from the author and get a 20% discount from the other books in the series |
If you prefer to write a short happy note each day, I have created planners for this effect. You can write your daily happiness in the squares of the weekly spread - and plan future happiness using the monthly pages. There are even happy (repositionable) stickers included in the planner.
