I am going to be honest. I am a little discouraged. It is hard for me to admit this because so many people see me as a positive encourager, but I am just a little “blue.”
So I am going to encourage myself and remind my broken heart of all that I am grateful for in my life.
1. I am a child of the Most High God- I am born again and know that I have a relationship and bond with God Almighty. He has “stepped” into so many of my circumstances that He is as real to me as my husband.
2. I live a GREAT life- full of promise and hope. I have a horse farm- how much greater can it get???
3. I have a supportive and loving husband who tells me constantly how much he loves me. I can look like a hot mess and he still tells me that I am the best looking woman he has ever seen (he needs glasses!).
4. I have my health.
5. I live in the best country in the world!
6. I get to teach both riding lessons and students in a high school. I am surrounded by greatness and they challenge me everyday of my life.
7. I have great friends who know how crazy my life can get,and they still take time to encourage me.
I am going to stop now, because I am already encouraged to keep the faith, to trudge on and have hope.
How do you encourage yourself??? Please share!

what has you down ?
when I am down, doing something nice for someone else always helps.
That is a great idea! Doing something else for someone else is the perfect blues buster!
Thanks for posting- you are always too kind!
This seems like a very good way to encourage yourself, I think people don’t do this very often, and they should! I usually find a goal that I want to pursue, even if it’s just very small, when I accomplish it; I feel better instantly 🙂
So true- I always find a way to accomplish my goals. It makes you feel like you are in control of life and not life in control of you.
Thanks for posting!
You’re welcome! And yes indeed, that was exactly my point! 🙂
when I feel blue I journal with bible scripture and remember how much God loves me. And I try to spend myself on someone else. That’s a great way to get an instant uplift. Also…adjust my expectations of myself…sometimes I just need to get real. Be blessed.
I agree, there is nothing better than God’s Word!
You be blessed too!
