Pivoting
This week I am still practicing pivoting my thoughts, as per Abe. Turning the other direction. When something I do not want hits my brain, pivoting to what I do want. Sometimes it makes me giggle, the things I think of when I pivot. Like....if someone is saying or doing something that I allow to hurt my feelings, and I realize that I am dwelling on that, I may think instead "I WANT ICE CREAM" or "TRA LA LA I AM A PRINCESS AND EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL" or even "I AM SKIPPING ON THE BEACH ON A REMOTE ISLAND WITH MY HUBBY AND WE"RE BOTH WEARING SILLY HATS". Whatever....they make me stop thinking and laugh. It's hard to stay down when life in my head is so silly....
And then I can begin the appropriate, allowing and positive thoughts.
Tonight we're playing 25 words or less with bonus boy Dylan and some of his friends. It's the highschoolers vs the oldschoolers, and we oldschoolers are preparing our happy dances of victory ahead of time. :) We love kicking their butts.
Only 7 days until Jon and I leave for our summer road trip to see sister Wendy.
Life is silly!
