Doing the out loud routine in the morning, smiling at yourself, talking to yourself in the mirror has magical influences on you for the entire day.  It was tough to get into the habit of doing it, feeling stupid, wondering what my husband, or staying guests inlcuding daughters,even, might think.  Now I don't care at all.  There's something funny and intersting to talk about to anyone who has a puzzled look on their face or questions you.  Magical for the day because it sets the tone for your outlook, you are cheerier than anyone else and can fend off any negativity thrown your way.  It works.

Yes, that would not be good.  My wife and kids are 2 hours off from my work schedule.  Have you tried doing the talk stuff outside?

I see that you are on your 2nd round.  Did you start another account or use the same one.
