Day 121 Honoring My Husband With Positive Beliefs

My attention was captured today by a book I am reading, Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins. In his book he uses several concepts I have heard and tried to put in practice.  However when I reread one of the sections today what struck me was this aspect of how our beliefs impact our feelings and our feelings impact what we do.  I began to think about this in relationship to marriage. 

I thought about the times when I allowed my feelings to get in the way of what I wanted or may have needed to do in relationship to my spouse.  I began to think about so what would happen if I just decided that I was only going to think positive beliefs about my marriage.  How would the universe respond if I reframed my thoughts about my husband working late.  Instead of thinking he is just filling time, I change that thought to be he is ensuring the economic viability of our family or instead of thinking he knew he hurt my feelings I could reframe to believe he really had no idea of the impact. 

I am typically the ultimate optimist as I have shared before, however there are times when even I go to that ugly place of temporary despair.  Fortunately for me I do not visit that place very often, but imagine the high degree of infrequency if I applied this principle to all aspects of my life including my relationship at all times.  Imagine the positive emotional intact and continued emotional balance.  Because of the unlimited emotional potential, today I am honoring my husband with positive beliefs. 

Just yesterday we were having a conversation about something and I explained how his words impacted me.  Now that I think about the aspect of reframing how I thought about the situation I could have saved myself from the brief emotional impact.  Today I am honoring my husband with positive beliefs which I believe will not only honor him but it will also honor me and my commitment to God to stay grounded and only see the good. 

Wives of the world how do you honor your husband's with positive beliefs?  Are you one to go into an emotional tailspin when something happens? What do you think would happen if you changed how you thought about a situation, how much emotional energy would you save if you focused on the positive of what could have been instead of a negative perception of what it may have been.  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
