It's Zenseday!

I have a 17-year-old son that like most teens, struggles with self esteem. He woke up feeling down, so I had him tell me 5 things that are amazing about himself. He did, and then I told him 10 more things that were amazing. We all struggle with our own self worth - I know I do, which is why I loved New Season's story about the $20 bill yesterday.

We haven't done this for awhile on Zenseday and since there are a lot of newbies, I thought it would be good today. Tell me 5 things that are amazing about yourself. And keep those 5 things in the forefront of your thoughts today.

Here are mine:

1. I am a great mom.

2. I am very caring, loving and thoughtful.

3. I am a successful business owner.

4. I am determined to grow as a human being.

5. I did 6 bikram yoga classes in the past 5 days!

Bodhi -
Are you sure you weren't at my house this morning? My 17yo had a similar wake up and she struggles so much to trust herself - We play this game at bedtime when we have family prayer - it's such a good thing! Thanks for the reminder!

1. I have amazing eyes - they are a beautiful color that changes from grey to green to blue depending on my mood and happiness factor - AND if I'm really mad, one eye will be blue, and the other green.
2. I am an optimist - and try to find happiness in whatever I do.
3. I am REALLY good at my job which to many would be monotony.
4. I can cook like nobody's business!
5. I am an amazing mom - and have amazing kids as a result!

Sunrise-

I'm glad you are a hot yoga fan too! If my studio was closer I would definitely do a challenge, but I can't.

New Season - it's not called 90 minutes in a 105 degree torture chamber for nothin! You should try it sometime - it's the best thing ever.

Hi Bodhi,

Five amazing things about me:

1. Each day I find new ways I can take offered opinions and be thankful someone cares enough to share their honest. thoughts with me.

2. I am friendly and keep my cool when faced with the most difficult people I sometimes encounter through my job. Most often it pays off and everyone walks away satisfied.

3. I am an awsome multitasker!

4. I love my kids unconditionally and respect their need to branch out from Moms wings and know I will always be there for them with love and support.

5. I am a few days away from four months smoke free!

Bodhi I have wanted to try Birkham yoga but I am not sure if I am healthy enough yet. I will check into it and see what is suggested!
