Instead

Well...I'm not pregnant.

I guess I should preface this, by saying that we started seeing a fertility specialist.

So far, we love him. He's amazing, and knowledgeable, and confident.

I know that I'll be a mom someday and that I'll be a good one.

But in my head lately, I've been saying things like:

"I'm not this..."

"I'm not that..."

"I don't do this..."

"I should do this..."

"Why aren't I more like..."

and today i chose to take  a minute and stop and 

INSTEAD of being negative about myself,

INSTEAD of tearing myself down,

INSTEAD of feeling like I'm not up to par with others,

I've decided, INSTEAD, to list some positive 

qualities about myself.

Like:

I am a good listener.

I am a good friend.

I am professional.

I clean up nice.

I have a great smile.

I love my husband...alot!

I have a decent voice.

I am creative.

I am a really fast learner.

I am really good at baking.

I am a great hairstylist.

I know who I am.

I know that I'm a daughter of God.

and I'm strong.

Instead of focusing on what i'm not (pregnant or anything else), I want to focus on what I AM.  I'm making this a good day. Happy Thursday everyone!
