Today I woke up feeling less than stellar. I was attacked by squirrely thoughts the second my eyes opened; thoughts of restricting…”You’ve just been eating TOO much, lately. Take it easy…etc”
It was really annoying.
Good thing I read Angela’s ‘Road to Health’ post yesterday. It stuck with me. Each day is an opportunity to choose health and happiness. Not everyone gets that opportunity. My brother doesn’t.
This morning I chose to be positive.
I got out of bed and went for a walk. Not to burn calories, but to remind myself how much energy and strength I am gaining and enjoy the weather.
I remembered the video Dana shared on her blog – and how much it really moved me. I LOVE this so much:
I think we’re born with an unbridled sense of gratitude and confidence. Remember when everything was A-OK just as it was? You got sad and then felt better. You went to school and played until it was bedtime. When did we decide everything needed to be changed; improved?
I want my inner Jessica back.
When I got home I knew what I had to do.
I now present you….Missy’s “Daily Affirmation”
*Forgive me—it was early and my make-up is all crazy.
Today I’m choosing to be positive about myself.
I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY.
(And that might mean having bigger thighs…)
*If you love Jessica as much as me you’ll love watching her here. This version is also nice. (I seriously want a Missy Daily Affirmation Dance Floor Remix)
My question to you is:
What will you do today to reclaim your inner Jessica?
This is AWESOME! Good for you changing your mindset for the day. Keep it up.
Watch that video everyday!

This is so cute! And is that your natural hair? Because it is lovely.
Tonight in group we had to make credit-card size cards, that we will then put our own positive affirmations on next week! Meaning we can have it in our pockets all of the time
Stay strong

Missy! i love this video! Haha aside from it just being adorable i’m so glad you made one yourself…i think we should all do that! awesome.
Then do it! Come on…I put myself out there.
It actually did change my mood. But part of that is that when I do ridiculous things like that it makes me happy.
