I, just like "Ogres & Onions" have layers...

Just a bit at a time...I have been practicing something for the last several weeks. First thing in the morning I write the top negative emotions that I feel. (try to limit to 5) I then go through them & come up with 2 POSITIVES for each one. This has been a challenge because I literally have had enough negatives to fill a page...it has become easier though as I peel back the layers. The idea is to separate the lists whether on a different post it note or piece of paper, or just rip the lists apart from each other. Once I have my positives down, I take the negatives & with GRATITUDE I release them...rip them up, stamp on them, burn them in wood stove, flush them down the toilet...whatever feels good at the time to GET RID OF THEM. I have discovered a pattern with several words having the same underlying emotion. I realize that this is a process & as I do this daily, I notice a difference with how I feel, my mood, my energy. I'm grateful for the opportunity to "get this right", even if it is just one little piece, LAYER, step at a time.

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; 

that thy profiting may appear to all.

1 Timothy 4:15
