- Tell yourself this: I am a good person, and believe your words.
- Write a list of the things you are good at.
- Write a list of good things you have done in the past week.
- Spend 5 minutes when you wake up, to remind yourself that you are a good person.
- Spend 5 minutes when you go to bed, reminding yourself that you are a good person.
- Write a list of the best things about yourself.
- Remember your childhood years, and write down the things you used to do that were fun.
- Think about your greatest achievement, and sit there, thinking about it. Feel the happiness at your work, and just sit with your happy memories.
I, Carolyn Mary Cordon, honestly believe I am a good person.
- I am good at creative writing, talking in public, saying positive things in almost all circumstances, being kind to family, friends, and others.
- This week, I have given hugs to people who wanted and deserved them, I have attended a function and given love and friendship to friends, I have helped around the home as best I could (feeding and cleaning up after dog etc), watering our plants, running a group meeting, being involved in running a Poetry Reading,
- Best things about myself? I make others feel good about themselves. I am a caring family member. I am a good community member.
- I remember riding my bike, with my best friend Wendy. One particular day, we rode from our homes in Klemzig all of the way to the Adelaide Zoo. We got in for free, using the zoo tickets my dad had, and spent ages sitting with the two dingoes that lived at the zoo. These dingoes, and male and a female, were very tame and loved being scratched behind their ears, just like any other dog likes. I was such a fun time, and we both felt almost blessed to have these dingoes feel so secure with us.
Going to the Torrens River as a kid, with my brothers and their friends was always fun too, catching creatures and either keeping them or setting them free again. Yabbies were the main creature we didn’t release back to the wild, they came home with us, for dad to cook and eat. - Now I’m thinking about the book launches I’ve had, sharing my own words with others. Remembering, remembering. Lovely times indeed.
