February 5th – Day 35  of My 2026 Daily Activity Journal

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2026, Health and Fitness

Another breakthrough on my Journey to Health & Fitness this morning! 😁

Today I am wearing a pair of yoga pants that I bought a couple of years ago.  They are a medium.  A medium what I have no idea, but they have always been uncomfortably snug, especially before my hernia repair.  Now they fit perfectly and are super comfortable.

They were perfect for doing my aerobics this morning and will be fine for getting out and attacking more of the permafrost on our sidewalks today, and for doing my treadmill time later. 👍

Last night,  I spent more time reading ‘The Magic of Believing’ by Claude Bristol.  It takes focus – and no doubt a second reading, but I am enjoying it.

On Day 2 of the online Tony Robbins seminar, the Power of Belief was one of the things he emphasized.

There are a few good points that he made:

1) Belief is the absolute certainty about what something means.

2) Beliefs create and beliefs destroy.

3) Your identity belief is who you are.

I have always believed that our beliefs, our attitude, and our emotions create the quality of our lives. 

As much as successful, motivational  speakers validate my beliefs – they are not the ones who drive them.

The credit for my strong positive beliefs goes to observing and dealing with people who cling to destructive beliefs.

Those people are consistently miserable.  Regardless of what they  have,  it is never enough, never what they want,  or someone is trying to take it away from them.   They lack appreciation for anything.  They are chronic victims – they want justice but they will never forgive.  They see only the worst in anything,  anyone, or any situation.  They refuse to accept responsibility for anything, then whine that they are powerless to change or fix anything. 🤦‍♀️

Over the course of my employment years, I worked with a lot of such people.  They never failed to amaze me.. especially when they complained about how difficult and miserable life was to them. 

Beliefs create and beliefs destroy! 

That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day! 💞🌞

  6. I think so too, Martha. I took that photo when I was going through a difficult time. I went for a walk through a greenspace that was pretty much dead grass and weeds and I saw that perfect little wild rose. It made my day. 🤗

  8. Oh Anne, I needed to hear this today. I sometimes believe I’m so at fault for my estrangement with my son and his family. We still haven’t reconnected it’s been I think 3 years (I actually don’t like counting as it makes me so sad) and I know I can’t blame myself but it’s hard as I think I should have handled things differently. I think that’s so true, beliefs create and beliefs destroy, it really hit home as I believe it’s my daughter-in-law’s beliefs that helped destroy our relationship. I pray for them every day and try and stay happy and true to myself. It’s all I can do, I just miss them. 😥

    You look so beautiful and what a win that you are comfortable in your medium pants! YAY! Thanks for listening, it’s nice I’m able to share and I know I’m not alone in this world with an estranged family. Sending hugs! 💞😘

  9. I am glad you got some comfort out of my blog today. I do not believe you did anything to cause the estrangement in your family and I know you are doing all you can to make the best of your life and to send your family love in the meantime.
    It is four years since I have seen my elder son and his family. I have nothing but well wishes for all of them, but I know that pushing the point would not be good for anyone.
    I dont know what the deal is with our childrens’ generation (especially the women) but I have been through such estrangements with all three of my kids. My second son divorced his first wife (who was a holy terror), and married an amazing woman. They have a daughter from his first marriage, a son from hers, and a son together. We all get along just fine and despite going years without contact with his daughter when she was young, we are close to her now. Likewise we are now reconciled with my daughter and close to her family. Our estrangement did a LOT of good for my daughter. She is so much stronger and happier and in a much better relationship. 👍
    I continue to send love to you and your family Diana and thoughts and prayers for your reconciliation. 💞

  10. Thank you so very much! I’ll keep on keeping on and your words are so warm and comforting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It helps hearing I’m not at fault, that generation is hard to figure out. ❤️
