Self Image | The Joyful Springer

Drape Yourself

Posted September 29, 2011 By Ande and has 3 comments.

The way we see ourselves is the way the world sees us. If you think you’re ugly, the people will see that ugliness. If you think you’re dumb, people will treat you like you’re dumb.

Joyful Springers drape themselves. They position themselves to look and be the way they want to look and be, and the world reflects back to them that powerful self image.

Don’t ever accept the “facts” of who you are if you don’t like those facts. Choose to believe you’re the person you want to be, and you’ll become that person because the world around you will mold itself to that image.

[Sweet Pea is back and she has her new little Cocker Spaniel sister, Poppy, with her. Poppy was born on March 1st of this year, so she and Sweet Pea are just 10 months apart in age. Their momma, Denise Niesman says, "They play A LOT and are practically inseparable. Poppy tries to imitate big sis in all things." Sweet Pea has obviously taught Poppy the important art of strategic, and cute, draping over sofa arms. Oh, and don't you love Denise's flower theme with her fur babies' names? ]

Maintain A Blue Ribbon Self Image

Who needs a prize when you know you’re a winner?

Joyful Springers maintain a blue ribbon self image. They feel good about who they are, no matter what.

You are unique and valuable just as you are. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, tell you different.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

[Meet the Carolina Dock dogs--Pam Civile, the North and South Carolina Coordinator for English Springer Rescue America (ESRA), sent me this photo of 3-year old Pumpkin, 9-year old Riley, and 4-year old Butch. All three of these lucky dogs are rescue Springers. Says Pam, "With the help of ESRA, they now happily reside in Southern Pines NC. They all love the water and being extremely active. Riley is the most avid dock dog,, and she is a senior girl. Her sister and brother are novices, and she is quite accomplished at the sport. As they say at Dock Dogs, a tired dog is a happy dog. Be sure to exercise your dog daily!" Thanks, Pumkin, Riley, and Butch, for being Guest Stars on The Joyful Springer.]
