It’s a murderous day at work. I have 2 hours to convince 7 people how to implement a key strategy of our company without letting my boss have a bout of verbal diarrhea. I love waorking for her, but she can on and on sometimes. This really costs us engagement on the part of others, [...]

Stupid network blew away my profoundly brilliant entry from this morning. I was making some grateful remarks about Dave at dognozzle’s goals. That will now have to wait for some other time.
Quick and dirty positives for today, cobbled together from what I remember from my blown-away entry:
My haze is lifting; I’m feeling more alive every [...]

While browsing a site I hadn’t looked at in a while (Dave at dognozzle), I found a nice list of his that will give me a good inventory of where I am now. Dave has done a great job of recovering, not [...]

Writer’s block. I sat staring at the screen, trying to decide which topic to address. Nothing. Then I decided I’d just post my positives and get on with my day.

Learning to experience hunger and fullness meant that sometimes I would have too much food on my plate. It can still require a bit of effort to throw away something I consider edible when I’m either [...]

A large percentage of Mensa members are fat. Not more fat than the rest of the population, but also not less. One typical question Mensa members receive is, “If you’re so smart, why aren’t you skinny/rich/famous/whatever?” As a Mensa member, I am none of these. Ok, maybe I’m whatever.
The one trait/characteristic I’ve depended on all [...]

After these weeks of being thrilled by the change in myself just due to my daily 5 positives, I have decided to look for more positive thinking resources.
One caution is that I want to avoid psychobabble like, “think positively about what you want and it will come to you.”
Here are good resources:

A common fear for compulsive eaters is a fear of what they might expose when they are skinny. They may fear being exposed to more sexual pressure, having to admit they don’t really “have a pretty face” or any of a million other things.
What also happens is a person’s personality changes. Any time a person [...]

Once I truly realized I could let go of past pains, the first thing I did was forgive my mother for the pain she unwillingly caused. She was simply incapable of doing other than she did, but it’s over now. Later I even managed to forgive myself for not being able to take care of [...]

I did it! I got past my procrastination and published my chocolate blog! Go, enjoy and comment. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
My goal is to really have fun with the fact that I live near all of these wonderful chocolatiers, and that I love to write.
The reasons I procrastinated so long on my chocolate blog were [...]
