My daily affirmation--updated in 2018 and 2019
Three months ago, on December 28, 2019, Lottie Kendall shared a lot of her soul here on ActiveRain and she wrote about her "daily affirmations." Today, I had the good fortune of speaking to Lottie. I can attest to the fact that Lottie is "happy, healthy, and kind." Her courage can be compared to Eleanor Roosevelt. Lottie touches people's soul when she speaks to you or writes her blog posts here on ActiveRain. I can only imagine clients of hers and how wonderful she is to everyone she works with in her personal life and in business.
"With the new day comes new strengths and thoughts." ---Eleanor Roosevelt
Lottie shared her positive experience with her Broker, Compass Realty. She is happy there and shared some of the positive things her Broker does that can make a difference in her seller's lives too! With each new day, Lottie learns something new.
"You gain strength and courage, and confidence by every experience in
which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself,
I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."
---Eleanor Roosevelt
When it comes to health problems, well... who isn't immune to issues that come up to our loved ones or ourselves? Lottie doesn't feel sorry for herself. She is always doing something, taking charge of her own life, and staying on course to achieve all the things she is dreaming of now and into the future. Lottie is kind, healthy, and happy! She's not a quitter. Something Lottie really enjoys doing is walking down to her garden plot to pick lemons, herbs, and smell the flowers. Right now, she is enjoying the daffodils. Lottie is very intelligent. She knows that it takes a lot more to keep physically healthy than just a short or long walk. To Lottie, every part of the human body needs specific exercises. I learned a lot from Lottie. We even talked about Steve Job, who I recently shared that he had a birthday. Lottie understands, you must make every single day count.
"You can never really live anyone elses life, not even your child's.
The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become."
---Eleanor Roosevelt
Although I never met Lottie in person, she gave me hope, sunshine, and great thoughts to ponder. We are fortunate to have Lottie here with us on ActiveRain. Comments to me are disabled. Please visit Lottie often. She is like a bottle of happiness, filled with rich thoughts and ideas to live a better life. Lottie is a true inspiration!
I am happy
I am healthy
I am kind
For many years I have said and felt that affirmation that I say to myself every day. Some of you might remember it (I was blown away when Roy Kelley repeated it to me a year or so after I had first written about it.)
At some point during 2018 I realized something was missing. After a few weeks it hit me: I needed to add:
I am productive
The word productive is broad enough to cover days when I'm not "working," that is, not meeting with clients, or calling them, or straightening out files. Productive can be writing up that grocery list and walking to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's to purchase ingredients for dinner. Productive can be walking down to my garden plot at Fort Mason Community Gardens to do some weeding, pick lemons and herbs and cut some flowers for the house.
Productive is fitting even when I'm on vacation. It can mean not twiddling my thumbs and spending too much time on social media and then rushing to get ready for the day's activities or getting to bed later than I had intended.
About a month ago, I felt the need to add one additional clause to my daily affirmation:
I am grateful
For each day, for the sunshine, the rain, the muddy trails, the health to enjoy it all. When I'm volunteering serving breakfast at Glide to my neighbors in the Tenderloin. For the family and friends that enrich life. For my business that keeps moving right along. No more explanation needed.
Do you have an affirmation that centers you, energizes you, and lifts your spirits?
