On Self Improvement

About the middle of June I decided that I 

needed to start being a more positive person.

I thought of a few things about myself that I wasn't liking

and decided to try to change them. Two months later

I think I have shown some improvement. 

One of the ways I thought was bringing down my

spirit was being gossipy... It is easy to 

get caught up in the moment and say things

that you don't necessarily mean to. I wanted to 

try to keep those negative things in my head and not let 

them slip out my lips in hope that eventually 

they would just stop entering my thoughts. While

I have definitely had a few slip ups, I have noticed a huge 

change! The things that were annoying my about certain 

people have for the most part gone away. 

It is nice to start seeing the positive things about people

that for a while were non existent.

I also wanted to put more of an effort in with relationships

that I value. I often don't free enough of my spare time

to nurture the friendships I care about. While I haven't

been able to see lots of these people one on one 

I have stepped up to the plate and have

inquired more about what is going on in

their lives and are more engaged in what they are doing 

and how they are doing. I have also realised that there

are a few friendships that are cracked at the 

foundation and are unlikely to be repaired. Time to MOVE ON!

Spending energy and effort with friendships that

aren't meant to be is exhausting and takes

away from the ones that truly matter. 

Most of all I think my patience has grown which

is not my strong suit, so any help in 

that department is most welcome!!!!!

Happy Thursday!
