Motivational Passwords

I had been meaning to write this for a week now, but I thought I'd get it out there now since I just thought of it again.

In my work and personal life, I use a lot of passwords. Some of them are kept on the computers I use (in other words, I don't type them in every day) and others I use all the time.

During my divorce, I chose to use some passwords that exemplified how I felt about my ex wife. Without really thinking about it, I typed those passwords in on a daily basis, over and over and over.

During my journey, I have been changing those passwords to more healthy. At first, I sought merely to change them to something "not unhealthy". Then, when I reflected on how much of an effect typing those negative passwords over and over had on me, I decided to seek out an entirely new password process.

At my work, I am required to change passwords fairly often. I have already learned that passwords can have an effect on me through the repetitive typing of them. I will now use motivational phrases in my passwords - focusing on something that I need to do in my life.

Then each time I need to change my passwords, I will reflect on how well I have accomplished that goal, or addressed that thought. Then I will choose another appropriate message for myself.

Just a thought.
