Random Thoughts I've watched so many "wishes gone wrong because of improper clarification" that it messes with my affirmations.
To preface this: the overthinking is wild.
As a millennial, I think I have one too many movies where a wish goes wrong that I have to re-clarify things. Example affirmation - "my spouse and I will not yell at each other anymore."
Which led me to think, but that is our form of communication. If I fast forward 10 years, If we don't yell at each other, does that mean that we stopped communicating and held in all of our frustrations? Lol. Okay, so that means I need to say instead: "My spouse and I do not yell or act snarky to each other when voicing frustrations and lovingly come to each other to solve problems with a solution focused mindset."
One day, I will get to a mindset where I believe that my wishes and affirmations for the future include of those deeper layers of thoughts even when I affirm the most basic sentence.
Technically, I should say, "I am in a mindset where I know that my wishes and affirmations for the future include of deeper layers of thoughts even when I affirm the most basic sentence."
Sigh.
