Feeling sad or anxious?

Me too...

My son Brindsley turns nine today!

I woke up this morning feeling sad and anxious. Then I was mad at myself for feeling sad and anxious! I want to feel happy and excited.

Okay. Breathe Julie. Time to look at my thoughts. What are you thinking? I began writing and these two thoughts showed up.

How can he already be nine? Why does the time go so fast?

No wonder why I feel sad and anxious.

I want to feel excited. I want to feel happy. What do I want to think to feel happy, to feel excited about Brindsley turning nine?

This is the work I did this morning. AND this is my win.

Brindsley will have a birthday every February 11th, that is a fact. How I want to think about this circumstance is up to me.

This is hard work but it is available to us all.

I switched my thoughts around this morning.

Brindsley is nine today and I can’t wait to celebrate him today with hugs & kisses, his favorite food, and gifts. That thought makes me feel excited.

I always wanted a son just like Brindsley. That thought makes me feel happy.

Are you feeling a certain way that you don’t like, consider asking yourself, “What am I thinking?”
