Day 7---One Week in Review
I may still be struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually, but I have not given up. I refuse to participate in my old destructive behaviors. It is easier, at times, to go back to certain patterns of behavior, even when those behaviors creat great pain in our lives. Now, I am an advocate for experiencing pain. Some of the most beautiful ideas, people, and situations have been created out of agonizingly beautiful pain. However, there is no reason for me to allow others to keep heaping the same old pain on me again and again. If this particular pain is keeping me from achieving that which I feel is vital to my life, then it is time to change my pattern of behavior.
One week may not seem like a lot. These past 7 days have felt like I am being slowly raped and tortured over the course of the week. Which for me, is something I have actually experienced. So this description of how I feel is not an exaggeration.
Awareness of my self defeating behavior is my first step towards real change for myself and my children.
Affirmation:
I am in control of my actions and choose productive behaviors that move me forward. I continue to take action every day, even when results aren't immediately visible. I know that taking consistent action is one of the most important things I can do to change my life, and I will not stop until I achieve my goal. I deserve it! I am an unbelievably groovy chick. I am so totally unstoppable!
