I’m
tired…I probably say that phrase…at least…ten times a day…maybe more…and…I usually…sigh…as
I say it…I suppose…just to prove the truth of my words…
I hadn’t paid much attention to it…until
a friend…remarked…you’re always tired…hmmm…busted…
Now…you know that conversation…led
to a tête-à-tête with…Bertha…who
pointed out…something that I have known for a while…but…tend to forget…
And…that’s the power…of the words…I Am…
I
Am…is creative…and…brings the words that follow…into being…so…when…I say…I’m
tired…I’ve created more tired…at least ten times a day…
So…I think about my self-talk…and…all
the negative…I Am…statements that I make
in a day…it ain’t a pretty list…the words…broke…fat…lazy…ugly…tired…exhausted…quickly
come to mind…and…I consider myself to be a pretty positive person…
I think I’ll spend some time…in…the
contemplation chair…about this…do the Forgiveness Prayer…think about how to
rephrase…my self-talk…but…for now…it’s
been a full day…I think I’ll rest…
So…if…next time we’re chatting… those
illustrious words…I am tired…or any
other negative…I Am…statement…escapes
my lips…feel free to slap me…to get my attention…okay…not really...get out of that line…that was a joke…geez…
