hooray for you (a little challenge)
I am heading to Los Angeles later today for a quick long weekend trip. Inspired by Ellen’s show yesterday, I want to challenge you to something while I am gone:
To say something positive.
About yourself.
Today.
Right now.
Think about it for a moment.
Let it be a strong statement full of beauty and truth.
I challenge you to even leave it here in the comments so you can declare it in writing (if you want to leave it anonymously, that’s okay, go ahead and do that).
I challenge you to say it out loud. To you. Declare it to yourself. And after you say it, I want you to imagine a huge auditorium full of people applauding. Imagine all of us out here in blog world giving you a standing ovation for your bravery and truth.
(I know, I know it sounds silly, but I ask you to do this. For you. Right. Now. We spend so much time letting the negative self talk take over. Just for today, seek the positive.)

I am a good mom.
:)
I love to laugh and make others laugh too.
I laugh more, tickle more, and make up silly songs more than when I was a child. And I love it! (And I love the new Tickle Me Elmo too.)
i love myself and accept myself just the way i am. i am beautiful and sexy and wildly creative and i deserve to see my creative dreams come true. i deserve good things. i deserve to be wildly loved. i deserve the support and encouragement of a beautiful tribe of women. i am a piece of god...
amen and amen!
i challenge myself to do the things i never dreamt i could ever do. i'm a dreamer!
i am a vibrant and sexy woman with much to offer the world. i bring happiness and healing to everyone around me.
thanks for the great idea!
i am kind and the people around me cherish my big heart and laugh. i am creative and my energy makes whole rooms light up.
I am a kind and thoughtful person who has more to offer the world than I can imagine in this moment.
Liz~ thank you for the exercise...especially today, when I am tired and cranky and needed it A LOT!!!!!
Have yourself a fabulous holiday weekend w/your friend in LA..be safe.
xoxoxoxo
safe travels to los angeles liz ~ say hello to it for me! and if you can, go stick yourself in a photobooth with your girlfriend, it's inspiring!!
i am a good mama.
I'm kind and I make people laugh.
Hope you have a great weekend, Liz!
I am willing to accept a difficult challenge - even if I run away from it the first or second time - I do come back, I take the risk. I am tenacious and persistent. I am strong.
Thanks, Liz, Hope your weekend is wonderful!
i am fair. and honest.
a good sister. daughter. friend.
i am funny.
I try to do good things for other people. I'm smart. In my best moments, I'm witty. I can multi-task like the devil. I'm interested in lots of different things. I'm a pretty good dancer. I still have good legs (although I never show them off anymore). I've learned to try new things even if I don't do them well. I'm a loyal friend and a loving aunt. I'm much more forgiving than I give myself credit for.
I am a deep listener with heartfelt good intentions. I spread alot of love in the world.
I try to find gratitude in even the stickiest of situations. I am strong, lovable, kind, and honest. And I am a good cook!
Thanks for that--I needed it.
I am worthy of all the good that comes my way!
I am willing to write something positive about myself even when I've had a less than best day and am not feeling very fond of myself, even when I cannot think of anything positive about myself except for my willingness to be here and say this.
i am a recovering alcoholic. i was doin so well until thanksgiving when i fell off and i am back on again. the last time god was my co-pilot, this time we've switched seats and THAT has made all the difference.
I open myself up to truth, I am willing to change, I love the spark in me that never goes out that always wants to go forward. I love my boyfriend, my family and my dogs as much as I can everyday and I will explore any painful challenge enabling me to love them more.
Great idea!
I am an artist - creative and intuitive. I am learning to be open to just this!
I deserve the best in love and life!
Thank you - this is a great blog and I'm an grateful for finding it ; )
I don't give up. And even when I'm afraid and I don't know how things are going to turn out, I move ahead into risks and challenges, so that I can give more of myself to life.
I care deeply and feel the losses of others in my heart.
I work hard and do my best.
I am trying.
