Living the Dream
I was at my Mary Kay Conference this weekend. Although I have been a consultant for approximately 10 years I haven’t gone to one of these in a while, but I KNEW I had to go this year. Largely this is due the uplifting experience they always are. I needed that. It has been a rough year. AND I am really glad I went. Aside from the sales aspect of the career, it is just plain fun, and, in all honesty, I haven’t had fun for a while.
One thing a speaker commented on is that nasty self talk we all do that sabotages what we are hoping to achieve. I tried to consider this in the waitte loss arena. Not sure if this it true, but she said that our brains don’t follow the “don’t” instruction. So if you say “I don’t want to be 190 anymore” your brain will read “I want to be 190″. Instead you should focus on “It will be great to be 136 again. I can’t wait to see how I will look”. What you think about, you bring about. So, I started using that mantra this mo Still plugging along. Looking forward to DH moving up to Toronto. On a sad front, my sister-in-law - who hasrning. Somehow I don’t feel as hungry.
Not even considering the money making aspect of MK, I do recommend that you either find a consultant to take you to a meeting, or sign up yourself as a consultant! I know I sound like I have been brain washed, but I haven’t. The personal growth and positive atmosphere is worth the effort. Fear not, I cannot sign you up if you live outside of Canada. If you live inside Canada, that is another story!! If you are interested, email me! I swear on my much loved dog’s head that you will have the time of your life.
Other than that not much to report. My sister-in-law - who has colon cancer - has been given only weeks to live. I saw her when I was in CT last weekend. She is still in good spirits, so I am hoping that dr was wrong. My concern is the chemo is stopping her from eating. I know from my Dad that this can kill you before the illness does. DH assures me she eats every few days. I hope it is enough to sustain her. If you are into praying, add one for her, please.
Think positively!
Ahhh, your poor SIL—–my heart goes out to her and all of you. My dad had to have a colostomy done for colon ca.; in his case he lived 10 more yrs. Hoping the time she has left is pain free.
In answer to your question: we’ve had Betsy the basenji for 8 yrs. now–she’s a tri color and turned 14 in Jan.; before that I had a red and white male(Sammydog) for 14 yrs. I love ‘em but would never do a basenji puppy again.
Sounds like the MK meetings are very upbeat and positive. I need one of those mantras.
Sorry to hear about your SIL.
About te positive thing, I am so into the Law of Attraction thing. You attract anything you think about, even if you think about not wanting it!
I’ve never tried MK, someone tried a catalog on me once. But I used Avon a lot.
it’s amazing how the “negative” stuff in our head can truly affect how we feel about stuff. I’m glad you had an uplifting experience. Whether you are talking about MK or another job or weight loss… positive self-talk can ONLY improve how we feel about ourselves and how we go about reaching our goals
S — loved what you had to say about thinking positively. So glad you enjoy MK - my best friend was a rep for years and years — she got quite high in the org in Regina. I think Avon poached her soon after LOL.
So sorry about your SIL — I am dealing with my mom’s chemo right now. She is doing ok and we do our best to get the food into her — Ensure is a god-send. Cancer is a demon — like you I watched my father shrink to just a shell of himself before he passed away — all so sad.
Anyway I am on my upbeat way to get back on track — next month I am going to get serious about more planning for the wedding — its funny planning my second I am not in any hurry. I am on a website for Canadian Brides — its a hoot. All these young girls with lists 100’s of items long and most of it done several months before the date.
Looking forward to seeing how your plans are going.
Take care
