Power of Positive Thinking
OK, so I have been really thinking about this whole Power of Positive Thinking. Does it really work or is just a bunch of jibber-jabber that people buy into believing?
The other day while teaching a class, I had two students react to a situation that was very inappropriate. I took this opportunity to teach a lesson to the entire class. Simply by saying that "we define who we are by the way we react to a situation".
Could this statement be applied to everyday thinking? I say Yes, so, whatever happens in my life is going to happen, It's how I react that will define me.
I can be honest and say that I have not reacted very well to certain situations in my life. And because of my reaction, I have some regrets that I will have to live with for the rest of my life.
Which brings me back to The Power of Positive Thinking:
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.
I have nothing to lose and alot to gain, I'm going to try the Positve Thinking for 21 days. I hope to report back positve things. LOL!!!
I have my first Positve to report. I have lost 23.2 lbs
Whoever is able to rise above anger, gets closer to inner peace.

I'm Back!!!!
I'm Back! 2011 is gone, and thank God it is. It was a very emotional year, alot of ups and downs. I want to first say that I'm sorry to my faithful followers, all 12 of you. (lol) I hope you will continue to follow me.
Just a quick up to date. I had gradually put the weight back on slowly each day I began to notice that some of the newer clothes were not fitting. So, out came the old clothes. I had managed to put back on almost 40 lbs. in a year.
So, here I am again. Everything I'm doing now comes in three week segments. I will try it for at least twenty-one days. Why? twenty-one days you may ask? Well, I have always heard that in order to break an addictiion you need to be off of it for 21 days. So, I'm guessing that if it takes 21 days to break the habit, it probably takes 21 to form it. So, there you have it.
On Christmas day, I saw a commercial with Charles Barkley (Former NBA player) about Weight Watchers (WW). I was sold. The day after Christmas we signed up. Mary and I are both doing the program. I think she is doing it more in a supportive role, she looks pretty good to me. The great thing about WW is that I can track everything on-line. Today is my 21st day, and I'm happy to report that I'm back on right path. I still have a ways to go until I meet my goal. Everyday is a challenge, I'm choosing to meet this challenge head on.
