I truly believe that has been the key to my easy life. I've enjoyed things which, to my surprise, devastate some others in appearantly the same boat. I even enjoyed practically pain-free childbirths.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, sometimes of late, positive thinking gets me involved in too many things at a time, and as positively as I think I can do almost any job in the same amount of time it took me ten or twenty years ago, my body refuses to live up to my expectations. I make out a list of things to do that should be easily obtainable, attack with gusto, only to find myself missing each hour's goals by enough that at the end of the day I (with as much positive feeling as I can muster) count it successful if I've crossed off, as finished, half the items listed.<BR/><BR/>What do you suggest? That I work more efficiently? or lower my expectations? Or just keep on bungling along?Anna Arnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882034663742937010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-20869680755524344202007-10-08T07:51:00.000-07:002007-10-08T07:51:00.000-07:00Great idea about the 21 things.

I have come to realize that this applies to everything we put into our mind and is the reason we must be so careful about the things we watch and read. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder!Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-38691165170572576222007-10-05T10:22:00.001-07:002007-10-05T10:22:00.001-07:00Years ago, I got suckered into trying one of those...Years ago, I got suckered into trying one of those hypnotis treatments.
