It's been almost a month!!

 Wow!  I have been visiting this site and working this program for almost a month now.  Just a few more days!  I am so excited!! I have never stuck with anything like this for so long.  I am usually good for a couple of weeks at most.  I love this program, even if I am still struggling with getting out of bed when the alarm rings.  Most of the rest of it is easy compared to that!  Good days and bad days.  That is what my life is comprised of.  Thankfully, I can honestly report I have seen many more good days than bad ones in the near month I have been doing this.  And I have quit beating myself up for not being able to consistently do the first item on my checklist, mainly because I am truly managing the rest.  Oh, and I have come to truly hate the word "should".  I am now replacing it in my vocabulary with the words "want to".  It works so much better that way, and I am nicer to myself now when I dont always accomplish what I want.  Tomorrow is always another day.

Shoulds vs. Want tos

I think that replacing shoulds with want tos is a very big step. I'm only on Day 16 so I don't know if Tools addresses that issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

 

Getting rid of the shoulds and the whole guilt trip and beating yourself up is very important in my opinion. You don't get a whole lot done unless you learn to like yourself.

Quiting smoking

I don't smoke but I've heard people say it's the hardest habit to break. I disagree. It's much harder to stop beating yourself up, especially if you've been doing it for years! I'm happy for you!
