Lasting positive change: Day 4
Today is day 4 of my 21-day lasting positive self challenge. Read my day 3 here.
I have always believed that I see the world differently from most people. Furthermore, my way of thinking is very unique and I have learned to embrace it rather than shun it away. That is who I am and I should be proud to the fullest. I’m different, I’m weird, I’m quiet, I’m an introvert, I’m socially awkward, I’m dedicated, I’m persistent, I’m family-oriented, but most importantly I AM ME.
Gratitude: write down 3 new things every day that I am thankful for.
Thankful for my mom shedding tears of joy today from the good news I shared with her earlier today.
Thankful for randomly booking a load today at work and making $200. Sweet!
Thankful having Peter LaMotte take the time to listen to what I had to say today about Allysian. Even though he was essentially only interested in how he could grow his income by marketing mine I am still glad I was able to pique the interest of a very successful individual like himself.
Journaling: 1 positive thing that happened to me in the past 24 hours.
I became extremely excited from Dorea being excited to join me and my team in our Allysian movement. Gotta love it! Helping others is awesome specially when that person is one from the same ghetto neighborhood as myself. AND we both went to the same high school where we experienced some similar hardships and discrimination for not only going to a lower-class high school, but also for being minorities.
Mediation: at least for 10 minutes a day
I really enjoyed today’s meditation with the HeadSpace app. It used a very good analogy with traffic and feelings.
Pretend that the cars passing by are feelings. It is easier to simply relax and observe the traffic pass by instead of stepping in or chasing down a car in full traffic. Something goes for our feelings. Do not get too attached to one feeling but do pay attention to all of them.
Random act of kindness: self explanatory
I am paying for Badillo’s expenses to become an Allysian affiliate and get some product as well. Hell yeah!
Positive praise of others:
This goes hand-in-hand with the random act of kindness. i told Badillo that I’m not just paying for his Allysian expenses because I have the money and want him to just owe me in the future. Hell no! That’s not what I am about at all! Instead I used it as motivation and edified him by telling him that I know he will make that money back and WAY more. Furthermore, I told him not to focus on making enough money to pay me back--that’s not what I want.
I told him to focus on making enough money to take care of his wonderful and beautiful daughter first and then once he accomplishes that THEN worry about paying me back. He’s one of my best friends so I will not pressure him to pay me back. I am a strong believer that if I can help someone--at no sacrifice to my well-being--then I will do it. More people should focus on how they can help others instead of focusing on how they can help themselves by means of other people. Think about that for a second.
