Sugar Waffle's Journal, 30 June 2016

Well, I just changed my attitude from boredom to awesomeness! LOL 

positive thinking takes you places... 

Awesome quote! This is something I'm still learning. The power of the mind is SO amazing if we would just stop and realize WE can control what we think and by extension, how we feel. Our thoughts turn into feelings/emotions, which turn into actions/behaviors. If we don't like how we feel, think the thoughts that would make us feel the way we want to feel. Crazy, I know, but I've been working on this for a couple of months and have noticed a huge difference. Thanks for the reminder this morning! :) 

"Don't let life get the better of you. There will always 'be a reason' to give up, get mad and quit. Finding your purpose is finding your POWER." ~ PFT 

right now my mind is going places i really dont want to go. I know what has to be done but I really dont want to do it. It would be the best thing for me to do, but I dont know if i can. I know i need to change my thinking from where i am now to the positive side. I always bounce back because i am a survivor. What doesnt kill me will make me stronger. 

Truth - I totally believe in manifesting through our thoughts which is why I wrote down, and see daily, my goals. The repetitive review makes them happen! 

Hear! Hear! 

So powerful!! Your post inspired my own. :) 

Thank you! You are all my inspiration :) ----- This comment may be more than some can gasp: Yesterday was the 1 yr mark of my son passing away. I went for my walk in the woods. I call it walking meditation. Nature shows me beauty every time! As I was walking along the path I could see my hero standing around 6 ft in front of me and I could see my son to the right above me smiling with approval at the same moment. Fast forward to this morning. I woke up with my subconscious trying to make me feel bad about myself. Subconscious tells me that everyone will think I'm crazy for sharing what I experienced in the woods. I have seen all kinds of magic happen in the woods. -- Newnormal putting her journal on here, helped put me in the right frame of mind. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the quotes everyone puts on here, yes, even the funny ones :) --- NavymomT, You do KNOW what you must do! Once you do, a new world will open up and you will be so much more happy! I promise you :) 

HCB keeps looking younger in her pics :) I also believe our thoughts do affect our aging process besides eating right and proper exercise 

I am on day 60 of my experiment. Without dieting and only doing minimal exercise. Listening to meditations, positive affirmations and visualization. Results: Released 1.6 pounds. My waist is now 27 3/4" and my hips are 36 3/4". If I didn't rely on numbers and only go by what I see in the mirror, I have to say that I achieved my goal :) I feel the best I ever have and have a body that I am finally satisfied with :) Forget releasing any more weight, I'm going for maintenance by continuing what I have been doing!  

The Law of Attraction is the rule of the Universe. My ex used to say, "The Universe is always conspiring to make you right." It's the same thing as the quote, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right." When you're feeling down, reaching for joy can be a stretch too large. So reach for a thought that feels better. From depression, anger is a better feeling. But don't get stuck there. Reach again for a better feeling thought, and maybe find allowance. From allowance, you can move up the scale to Hope, and from Hope, joy IS attainable. Energy flows where attention goes, and I choose to give my energy and attention to the good things. 

Sugar, I dont think you are crazy. I totally understand that the spirits can and will show themselves when they know we need them the most. I talk to my Aunt Weese every so often and i believe she answers me because of what i remember she would say if she was still here. and Yes i KNOW what needs to be done. My heart just is having a very very hard time dealing with that decision. 

off topic- everytime I read your username i think about those delish sugar waffles that are severed at the bottom of the ski slope where I snowboard in NY yummmm 

Nosy question Panigale, which ski slope in NY? 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your imparting of knowledge that provides many of us with hope and a smile. 

I believe it was at Windham that I ate that amazing sugar waffle :D 

Panigale, Windham isn't far from here. Across the river 

That's a great one there, Sugar!
