ReplyDeleteIf you can do it for that long, then you'll probably change your entire way of thinking and re-wire your brain. It's not that easy to do, once you start talking to your friend on the phone.... and suddenly you realize that what you just said could be construed as "negative" and you think you've already failed. And now I'm thinking that sentence I just wrote is somewhat negative. But I'm just warning you, so you can watch your step when you're just having a simple conversation.
ReplyDeleteChodesh Tov everyone!
For sure, it will be for me a big challenge. Not the negative speech part, but the kvetching. I have so many annoyances, but bli neder, I'm ready to rewire my brain.
DeleteEvery annoyance is a test. Once you've passed the tests, the annoyances will go away.
DeleteSometimes you can even see them vanish before your eyes.
You're right. I need to remember that more often.
DeleteBeautiful, pure gold !
ReplyDeleteThank you Devorah for a reminder and thank you Rabbi Shalom Arush and Rav Palagi !
Beautiful art Devorah, is that yours ?

No it's not my artwork, I don't know who made it but I got it from my friend Romi.
DeleteIt is helpful to say Baruch Hashem a lot. If you find yourself about to say something negative quickly rethink and say Baruch Hashem instead.
ReplyDeleteCan I start now?

I think you missed the start, but I am not an authority on this.
DeleteMaybe you can start now.
I would like to re-start because I'm pretty sure I messed up on day one.
Anyway I'm still going to do this even if I think I already messed up, because maybe I didn't.
