Slowly is OK

Though I started this blog as a statement of my desire to change my life (even though the title just indicates my faith), not much in my life has happened. My temptation is to be self-critical. But it's only been three days. Why jump on myself so quickly? While I have not increased time spent actively seeking God, or time deconstructing my faith, or really changing anything about how I live, my attitude IS different. I feel more hope, more optimism. I think that's a pretty good start. So I'll cut myself some slack.

Another thing occurred to me as I wrote this. Change is a difficult process. I have written on change a number of times before, but the one that I will go back to now is here.

I remember that post! It was a good one.

Congrats on recognizing and stopping the negative thoughts and seeing that you are onto a good start. That itself great.

Thanks Barbara. You know how hard it is to replace the negative self-talk.
