While it is not uncommon for me to create goals, I am certain I have not had a greater desire to set a resolution coming into a new year. I learned allot about myself in 2014 through reading, living, and meeting some amazing people. The concept that I gathered above all else was I am a 100% a product of how I choose to think. Scientists speculate we think over 50,000 thoughts a day. It is also speculated that over 60% of those thoughts are negative. Thoughts such as I hate my body, I am stupid, I could never do that, and I cant be happy. The lists could be a mile long. I believe I have allowed myself to fit very well into those statistics. That to me for my mind equates to the same nastiness as if I ate McDonalds for 2 meals a day to the body. So, Amy, Dalton, and I agreed to start what I like to call The Positivity Jar Since our words are simply a reflection of what is in our mind and heart, we have all agreed to allow the others to challenge us when we speak negative. It is not that we want to be critical of the other, but more that we want to face our negatives and replace them with something more rewarding. As most of our negative thoughts are lies anyway.... why not replace them with the truth and live a richer life? So to keep The Positivity Jar lighthearted, we will invest a nickel into the jar every time we are challenged by the other for speaking negative. Then we as a family will talk about the real truth of what was said. At the end of 2015 we will take whatever is in the jar and do something positive together as a family. I cant wait to see the growth in my family and myself in 2015. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
