    Acting "as if…"

    Walt, you need to get one of those "no spray" signs for your front yard!

    Acting "as if…"

    Ha, North Star!!!! Love that "Dial-A-Pessimist" hotline comment. I can totally relate. Like you, I can see potential in people, too - just not myself. I always cut myself down - thinking I might be able to do something BIG, then I go to the "well, somebody has already done it or they are...

    Thanks, sewmuch - good advice and keeping things in perspective is really what it's all about!

    Acting "as if…"

    Thanks, Walt ....... didn't look at my mantra that way. I also use "I'm getting better and better, every day in every way", but need to be more diligent about it.

    Acting "as if…"

    Thanks for the kind words, Walt. I know this is what I must do - I don't mean to sound like a whiner. I appreciate and am grateful for where I am and what I have .... it's just those sneaky negative thoughts always butt their way in. My mantra used to be "it could be worse" and I still think...

    Acting "as if…"

    Herbie - thanks for your kind and wise words. One would think it's relatively easy to get out of the loop and think of something positive, but when you've had a good part of your life enmeshed in negativity, it's really, really hard. Not to say I'm not trying - I am! When I do my gratitude...

    Acting "as if…"

    I love this concept, but what do you do with the negative thoughts looping back after the "what if" thoughts. That's my problem ..... negative and of course, realistic for me.

    Exercise and High Expectations

    Ha Anne! It's the club that's in my mind ...... LOL! It's all part of those high expectations and what I think everybody else is doing and what I SHOULD be doing. Ugh! It's so easy to get caught up in that mindset. I agree - I need to work on re-training my mindset. Not an easy thing to...

    Wise words and I will use them as my exercise mantra. Thanks, Gigalos!

    Exercise and High Expectations

    What a concept for someone with TMS, huh? :-) Ever since my back pain started (circa 2006), my activity level went way down. Add that to a desk job and well, that's not good. I did yard work and short walks, but that was about it. I would cycle through using the treadmill. So, I did the...
