Hey Chado...
Seeing as we're on Steve Pavlina's forum, and he's one for trying something for 30 days - how about trying something different for 30 days?
- smile at 3 people a day for 30 days.
- spend more time outside, getting some sunlight (can't remember where you're from so it might not be sunny enough there yet... it's as hot as here at the moment but it's our summer
)
- you choose that every time you think about your ex girlfriend you agree to gently push that thought out of your head
- go to the library and read more PD books
- think about the good things you do have; yourself, you're literate, articulate, you have your health, maybe you have great hair and good eyes (pathetic but it gets me everytime 'coz I have GREAT hair lol... even when I feel like CRAP)
- Thank Steve and Erin for providing somewhere for you to air your worries and concerns and celebrate that fact!
- think about all the very selfish things you could do JUST FOR YOU - day dream, win lotto in your dreams, what would you do for JUST YOU and no one else?
I have spent 30 days:
1. Growing my nails - stopped tearing them off!
2. Brushing my teeth AT NIGHT - I never did it... just wasn't how I was brought up and I hate having my teeth professionally cleaned
3. Eating healthier foods - and I've lost a wee bit of weight!
I had to really push myself (FAKE LIKING IT!) to do these things.
At the end of the 30 days assess whether it helped or not. If not, try something different! I find the 30 day trick quite useful.
All the best
Cheers,
Jenny.
