Wishcasting Wednesday

Jamie Ridler @ http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/wishcasting-wednesday-march-10 asks: 


 What do you wish to say no to?

After reading a couple of people's posts on other blogs, I decided that I wish to say no to things that are bad for me!

1) I wish to say know to the nagging thoughts of wanting bad food, food that I know will make me feel horrible and say yes to the foods that will make me feel good!

2) I wish to say no to the negative thoughts about things in my life ie: my ability to create, my self opinion, my ability to cook, and on and on.  I want to say yes to trying new things and allowing myself to believe in me!

3) I wish to say no to excuses for not exercising.  I start out with the best intentions, but something always makes those intentions go far from the front of my mind.  I wish to start exercising and be healthier for me and my family!

4) I wish to say no to watching too much tv so that I can find time for other things that are more important for me to spend time on.  I wish to start watching less TV and start doing more of the things that I love!

5) I wish to say no to staying up too late so that the next morning and the next day, I am too tired to really enjoy spending time with my children.  I wish to listen to my body and allow it to get the rest it needs.

6) I wish to say no to the craziness that I can control.  I wish to say no to things that I know that I can't do because I just don't have the time.  I wish to allow myself to have permission to say no to doing things I don't have time for!

7) I wish to say no to the negative thoughts that make me think that I am doing something to make people not like me.  I need to realize that not everyone likes everyone and that it isn't necessarily me.  I wish to believe that I am good enough to have people like me for who I am and that I contribute needed things to a friendship!

I thought that I would have a hard time with this, but I didn't.  I ended up putting something positive or something that I wanted to say yes to so that there is also a positive spin to this post.

Thank you again to Jamie for making me think!

  1. I love the way you put a positive spin on things. It great to know what we don't want to do and so helpful to be able to articulate what we want to accomplish. As Amy wishes for herself, I wish for her also.

  4. I'm seeing such a common thread in these wishes; so many of us are keeping negativity and the Inner Critic at bay.

  11. This is a great list. For every "no", we open a door to a "yes".
