Overcoming negative thinking

Unsettled...Anxious....Frustrated.....Disappointed........Sad.....Defeated........Undone

The weekend is over and those words expressed my emotions this morning. I know I won't stay there and usually I don't post my negative thoughts, but somehow I just wanted to be honest. I'm hoping to put it out there will help to move me away from the feelings.

Nothing is really all that wrong. I had a significant amount of alone time over the weekend and spent the vast majority of that time studying. I took care of some household chores that needed doing. I spent some time with various family members and I had fun with the photo challenge.

So there's not really any reason to feel such negative emotions.

I didn't get as much done on my term paper as I had hoped, but I did start it and I do have next weekend to work on it.

I don't feel completely ready for Tuesday's test, but I did get over all of the material and have some good notes to review. I have time to do that tonight.

I didn't get all of the household chores done that probably should have been done, but I did some things that I had been putting off for a while and my hubby says he'll help on the ones I didn't get done.

I have made some poor eating choices this past week, but I can make better choices today.

There is so much positive and yet the negative seems to overwhelm and for no REAL reasons. I feel like a wimp for even posting these frustrations.

Lord, I need YOU and Your strength today. Please help me focus on You and the good things. Transform my poor choices into good choices. Change my focus to one of positive, productive thinking. Help me know that I have nothing worth complaining about.

Thanks for letting me vent a bit!!

I think I do feel better.
