Self Positivity 2015...

As I sat down to watch yet another episode of "New Girl" on Netflix, on the computer, it occurred to me that I could actually blog instead of just thinking about blogging.  Then, I would have time to watch more episodes on Netflix when I was done.  So, here I am writing.  :)

I was journaling the other night, going over and over the Holidays.  What did I do wrong?  What did I do right (if anything)?  Was I ok with gaining the almost 10 pounds?  How was I feeling physically?  It occurred to me, that I routinely harass myself about my food choices.  I do everything I can in my head to tell myself how much I suck.  I berate myself over the littlest decision and constantly focus on the negative.

I started to write about how what I really need is positive reinforcement.  I love to be praised, and usually am able to see the good in my work when I am being praised.  Plus, it starts to feel less like work and more like something I enjoy doing.

After surprising myself with a journal that noted my need for positivity I started thinking about how I can add positivity into my internal self.  Brilliantly (at least I thought so), I had the idea to tweet/FB/instagram a hashtag so that daily I can note the things that I do that make me feel good about myself.  The coolest thing about this is that I can look back over the year to see what I was did well.  AND, as a bonus, I'm hoping that other people will join in and use this hashtag so that we can all share our positivity for this year.

 

If you'd like to share anything about yourself that you feel good about, any choices you made, any hugs you gave, anything at all that you did that and know that made you feel good about yourself, please feel free to post it somewhere and use the hashtag #selfpositivity2015.

Here's to a great year, with a whole lot of internal positive reinforcement!
