I have started to try to discipline myself because I have let myself get really bad about using my will-power to push myself to do things.
I listened to a sport psychologist on TV the other day. He was talking about how he trained top athletes to use visualization and self-hypnosis to acheive their goal of winning a race, game or putting down the perfect performance to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
I have come to realize that there are certain words or phrases if you will, that you do not say to me when you want me to do something. Unless, you are my boss or are my doctor, because these words or phrases are guaranteed to have the totally opposite effect.
I had several invitations to Christmas Day dinner(one of which I had even accepted), when I was visiting with my Mother, and my older sister came to check on my Mother before Sis went to bed as she was working the next day. She mentioned that they were have a family supper on Friday( they are not religious, so they do not do Christmas dinner).
Have you ever had this happen to you or something similar. A friend made plans to have some time with her women friends. Up to this point she had been spend all her free time with her boyfriend. Girls and she decided to go to a football game. When she told her boyfriend that she had plans with her friends, he was upset with her.
I was talking with a friend and we got on the subject of the fact that so many women go into a relationship with a man, knowing that they do not like many things the guy does or things about his personality(quirks) and then they try to change these things.
I have been thinking about the way I feel about myself and my body recently. When I was younger I did not think that much about how I looked dispite my having been sexually abused, I believed that I looked good as I knew I was pretty (other people had told me so and not just men), and I was slim(almost to the point of being skinny).
