I love what Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…”

I have been focusing on a task a friend of mine asked me to do. He wanted me to write 100 things I’m proud of about myself. Do you know how hard that is? I have been writing this for 3 weeks now and I am on 82! He thinks if I dig deep I can find a lot more. This has helped me think how important I am and I am proud of a lot I have done in my life! Thank you for this session . It’s a great one! I have always put negative thoughts in my mind as well and I am glad I have people like you to help me change it. 🙂

Hi–I listened to your video and I thought it was very good. I don’t feel well and I’ve been struggling with thinking good thoughts about myself. I just heard “you can’t have a positive day with negative thoughts” and it touched me. I’ve repented about the negative, leaving God out, not trusting Him–thoughts, and I’m looking forward to the rest of this day!
I’m so glad you posted this today. My husband has been asking me for days why am I so hard on myself and why do I beat myself up if dinner isnt done at exactly6:30 ad the laundry is still in the dryer or I disnt finish all the things I had planned to do that day and then I become an overwhelmed mess and in reality its not my plan or schedule, it’s God’s and I have to let him be in control. Those clothes can sit in the dryer so i can tickle my little boy or help my daught with her hair or even just sit and do nothing while holding my husband’s hand while he watches football 🙂
I choose to believe that I make a difference! Amen, Allelujia
Hi Linda! I have struggled for years in this area! I am my own worse critic! I’m so hard on myself! If the sky should turn purple and unicorns fell from the sky, I will find a way to make it my fault!
What timing He has. Everyone who knows me would say that I am generally a happy person, especially in the last 8 or 9 months. New job, did a couple of OBS and things are moving along quite well. For some reason, though, the last two weeks I have just felt like what I do doesn’t always matter, someone else could do it,etc. pile on top of that a week or two of really poor eating and I am feeling like I am living in the pit. My eureka! moment came as I was catching up on emails tonight. When I am not actively involved in an OBS I really lose direction. I don’t read my Bible as much, don’t journal….and it starts to take its toll. I really need that personal committment everyday. Thank you Linda, for sharing, as always, but also, bringing to mind what should be so obvious. I love God, my family, my life…but I need to take care of those things just as one would take care of a precious piece of jewelry. Clean and polish it (reading the Word) keep it safe (following His word) and wear it proudly (sharing His word). It’s so easy to get off track.
I am more than a conqueror!
Today I am tired, after an extra busy day yesterday. I have been tempted to think negatively.. Until heard your Inspirational coaching minute.
This is what I am choosing to say about myself today:
” I’m a good listener and I care about other’s”
Being a good listener and caring about other’s can often lead to tiredness as it requires me to give out a lot and that is when I can doubt myself. I am reminding myself too that God is with me and it is His heart for other people, that motivates me to be a good listener and to demonstrate care for others.
In years past I was one that had been negative about myself, feeling rejection from when my biological mom and dad put me up for adoption as a new born. I did not know until I was around 12 that I had been adopted but my adoptive parents have been marvelous to me for all these years. I have overcome a lot in the years since knowing God. I feel that “A Confident Heart” is going to help even more so. Thank You for listening
Thank you for this teaching/inspiration, Linda! This is a constant struggle. For every negative, I try to immediately add two positives! It is tough, but I have to keep being positive or I won’t get anything finished. I also love that other comment about writing down 100 things we are proud of…xo
