Broccoli Quinoa Casserole

I used to be a very insecure person. My insecurities showed up in the form of jealousy and judgement. I would find myself thinking negatively towards strangers which would then make me feel even worse about myself.

It wasn't until I took responsibility for the negativity in my life that I started to transform the way I show up. Every time I would find myself thinking a negative thought about someone or something I would immediately follow it with a positive complement. The more I did it, the less the negative thoughts came to mind and the more the positive thoughts took completely over. I felt better about myself when I would give love and that spiraled into even more positivity in my life. When I find myself getting negative, I start with this technique. I find things I'm grateful for and that turns into self love and support from the Universe. I dare you to try it!
