Affirmative Project: Day 8
The Importance of Feeling Good
If you watched The Secret you probably remember the sequence in the movie when it was demonstrated how bad things can spiral. A woman wakes up in the morning, gets out of bed and throughout the day one thing wrong happens after another. We've all experienced a day when nothing seems to go right. You wonder why you even bothered to get out of bed.
According to the Law of Attraction, if we allow a bad mood to persist it will attract more of the same, and that's how a bad start of a day progresses into one crazy bad day.
Today could have been one of those days for me, if I had allowed it. Early in the day I was confronted with some criticism. Let me tell you right now, I don't take criticism very well. I don't even understand why people feel the need to criticize another person. It put me in a sour mood... for about five minutes. I was bummed, but I eventually let it go. I immediately got on the phone to tell a supportive friend of mine what was said. I knew she would be in my corner. I was able to vent for a couple of minutes, then I felt better... and let it go. I am Grateful for my friends! The rest of my day went pretty well.
By the time my husband came home in the evening I had almost forgotten about it. But when I did tell him he voiced anger about it. His reaction was really funny and nice, it boosted my self esteem. I was surprised that he seemed to be more upset about it than I had been initially. And although I had already LET IT GO, it felt good to have a husband, My Knight in Shining Armour, be willing to speak out in my defense. Even if it was temporary --- he let his anger go too!
