🍃💐🫖 Tea Time Tuesday 🫖💐🍃 Gathering decor to start decorating for Spring. Starting with floral arrangements. I love these faux Peonies and Californian Poppies. Keeping the colours simple. Greens, creams and splashes of pink. Botanical themed of course. 😉😃 Tea Talk - Sitting here sipping my tea. Thinking about choices I've made the last few days. Very proud of how I handled some problems. For years, I'd shut down, give up and see myself as a failure. Self Sabotage is something I've struggled with. I'd do really well for months, then go off track so bad, beat myself up with negative thoughts. I've been reading Small Habits for a Big Life - Release the self-sabotaging behaviour that is holding you back, one habit at a time. After 15 pages, my thought pattern changed for the better. By @drrebeccaray I've tried so many times to conquer my self sabotaging habits. This book has really kicked that habit. I now understand how it works. How I can change it now I'm aware of the signs. I've had a few failures the last week. Almost gave up on candle making over a few minor setbacks. Instead of giving up, I sat with my thoughts. Realised that I was letting my emotions controls me. I'm a failure, no good at anything, etc etc. Making a big deal out of tiny things that went wrong. I did some journal writing to clear my head. I then wrote a 3 step plan to stay on track. I researched how to fix the problems with my candles. I called the candle company and asked a few questions. I decided to stick with 3 to 5 candle types, become good at those. I'm feeling happy, confident and content with how I was able to stop myself spiralling out of control and going down a self destructive path, again. I'm still working with the book, doing the exercises in the book as I go. If I can make these changes, you can too. Invest in yourself and change your life. You're worth it. 🍃💐🍃 #botanicalcottage #teatime #teatalk #drrebeccaray #selfsabotage #successminded #mindset #healingthyself #healing #selfworth #selfdiscovery #selflove #inspired #inspiredliving #motivation #nevergiveup #mylifestyleblog #mylifestyle #personalblog #personalgrowth #successmindset #youreworthit
