Week 1!
I am the kind of friend I'd want to have.
One of my goals this year is to change my thinking. I've really gotten to be way too negative and it's making me miserable. I need to change. I need to create my own happiness. So, one of the things I'm doing is coming up with a weekly affirmation that either reminds me to improve on things, or to recognize my strengths.
This affirmation used to be a strength but has become a weakness. Now, saying an affirmation and wanting it to be true isn't really going to get you very far unless you actually think about what you need to do to make it happen and then do it!
So, in that spirit:
I will return my phone calls and emails in a timely manner!
I will actually try to answer my phone!
I will not flake on plans just because I'm not "in the mood"! If I said I'd be there, I'll be there!
I will not gossip (much).
I will not expect more from people then they can give.
I will be honest, but kind.
I will not settle for being treated with less respect than I deserve.
I will control my jelousy.
I will be warm and inviting to others.
I will not spend time with people who bring me down if I can help it. (this one is going to be hard!)
I will put myself in situation where I can meet new friends with similar interest.
I will try to be forgiving and non-judgmental.
I will be a positive, supportive, and loving force in my friends lives.
