“Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting” The Secret
If you really stop to think about blogging, it is probably one of the most narcissistic things out there. In the beginning of blogging I didn’t know about the “blog world”. I didn’t know I’d form lasting friendships, my main reason for blogging was simply to document our lives. Keep our family that lived far away up to date on our lives. Now, I don’t think my family and friends that we moved away from even read this blog.
Why I blog has changed. This blog has transformed from a blog based around my family to a blog based around me. Like I said ~ narcissistic.
I’ve now transformed my blog into not only documenting my family’s life, my children’s childhood, but my personal development. I’ve learned so much about positivity and thoughts and our minds and how we can become who we are entitled to be. It’s too often on Facebook timelines, blogs and just plain out in the daily lives of people I know that I see them living a negative life.
Never looking at the abundance in their life, just on what they don’t have.
While I’m not constantly positive and having rainbows and butterflies to talk about I try to find the beauty in it all. Trust me, I come from havoc and one of the most dysfunctional families I’ve ever seen… well, maybe not the MOST, but pretty dang close to it. I try to share my positive words and share with others how we don’t have to let the negativity affect us. We don’t have to let our childhoods shape our future.
We have complete control in what happens to our lives. Not everybody has this mindset. Heck, my mindset isn’t even completely there yet, but I know it’s true and I’m working very hard towards mastering this.
And I’m blogging the journey away. That’s why I created {Just a Motivating Monday}. I created it as a carnival for other’s to link up their inspiring, motivating posts. While I rarely have a linkup I still do this EVERY MONDAY. I love to share something positive, uplifting, and motivating for people for the week. I want to help others start their week off with positivity… get their mindset set and my mindset set. If I’m writing positivity, I’m thinking positivity and I want to manifest nothing but positivity in my life.
I wrote this post for the SITS girls Back to Blogging event. Which is sponsored by Standards of Excellence, Westar Kitchen & Bath, and Florida Builder Appliances.

I don’t think you’re narcissistic – I think it’s important to be good to yourself.
I really like the idea of being more positive. That’s a hard one for me.
Being positive truly is a hard thing to grasp. Trying to do it on your own without reading positive words DAILY makes it even harder. If you spent even 15 minutes/day reading something positive your day will be transformed ~ it’s truly amazing!
I enjoyed reading this. Positivity is a great thing.

Thank you, Amber! Positivity is a great thing… sometimes not an easy thing, but definitely a great thing!!
I definitely appreciate your perspective! I don’t ride rainbows either, but I know the value in trying to see the positive and finding the little things in life that make me (& hopefully, others) smile. Even a really hard life event or challenging day has its upside, somewhere. Sometimes it just requires taking a closer look and making the decision to find the positive in it. I’m hardly perfect, but I try hard to see life and challenges that way. Life is no fun when I don’t practice finding & appreciating the little things! :>
Hopped here from SITS! If you can, swing by & say hello! :>
You are completely right that even the hardest life event or challenge absolutely has an upside…. somewhere. And believe it or not, sometimes it can take YEARS to find that upside. I’m discovering that with the loss of my daughter Mya. On the 6th there’s a blog post about her anniversary of when I lost her {I was still pregnant w/her} and finding the upside now. It took me 4 years to see it.
Thanks for stopping by!!
I’ve enjoyed your rambling! Not at all narcissistic. You’ve got to put that stuff somewhere, right? 🙂
Oh sweet friend! You are so right… we’ve gotta put this stuff somewhere for sure!
I love this post. You are such a great friend and example girl.
Oh, Laura <3 Thank you!! You are as well!
I agree with you. There is a certain degree of narcissism involved in blogging. Not that that’s a bad thing!
