W16D74 (Thursday) .After a day back one of the discoveries I made was that if I address my strengths and try not to focus on my weaknesses, so much the confidence level that I experience rises enough to be self fulfilling. When I lack confidence, and begin nitpicking myself to death, the quality of my work, by nature, suffers. I found a quote yesterday that really summed up how this works and I'm just paraphrasing so I won't get it exactly right. Roald Dahl stated that if you have lovely thoughts, you'll always look lovely. Now to me lovely as another is simply another word for positivity. It isn't about beauty, it's about attracting the best in yourself and others and that is at least temporarily how I'm trying to reframe my thinking, reframe my teaching, reframe my life. I feel "lovely" thoughts about myself.
