So today was interesting. I was watching two little two-month-olds as well as my toddler. To say today was difficult would be putting it mildly. But hey, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, right? At least that's how I felt. I felt like I was doing an intense endurance work-out. Anyways, mostly I felt like God was helping me today. I felt like He was helping me look for, see, and understand the tender mercies that He gives me. I honestly feel like that's what I do when I focus on the positive. I feel like I'm trying to see what God has been doing for me. I know this is a small thing but it helped me stay sane; the babies eating schedules didn't coincide. So I was able to feed one baby and hold my girl and then feed the next baby and still pay attention to my girl. That's how God helped me today.
I want to point out one more thing that I learned about positive thinking. Negative thinking is a habit, a bad habit, but still a habit. I had hard wired my brain to think negatively. Now in order to combat this bad habit I have to rewire my brain (my very thought processes) to think positively. Sounds a little overwhelming, doesn't it? Well I think it does. But I do know that through God all things are possible. That and a lot of patience and persistence.
Today has made me very thoughtful, because I kept catching myself thinking negatively. It wasn't just about one thing, either. It was about everything. Then I would start feeling discouraged about thinking negatively and think badly about myself. That's when I had to just say to myself: Anna, focus on the good. I'm not perfect at this but I am learning a lot. Thanks for ya'll for reading! Love you all.
