Attitude Adjustment

Still a work in progress.

My experience suggests the best way to get out of a self-absorbed funk is to do something for someone else. That's my goal for today, amidst digging out of the email backlog and redoing a to-do list for the near future in more sensible terms. A little exercise, also within sensible boundaries should also assist.

May all of you be having stellar days, or at least satisfyingly productive ones.

  1. For me, the old "fake it until you feel it" maxim works amazingly well. Somehow, doing just this tricks my brain into thinking I really am happier, smarter, wiser, sweeter, and saner than I wake up feeling some days.

    And since it never hurts to hear it from those who know us as well as (dare I say, sometimes better than) we know ourselves--you have indeed, dear friend, been courageous, perseverant, patient and graceful in the face of a dauntingly scary and deceitful enemy--the body that betrays us.

    So do as I say (even if I don't always follow my own advice so well)--be gentle and kind and forgiving to yourself--even the part of you that has run out of patience and can't seem to find any way to "reframe" this day's challenges as gifts in disguise. :-)

    Plus, it never hurts to eat fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies with a HUGE glass of ice cold milk, in my experience--so let me know if a delivery is in order.

    Your sometime partner in crime. L.
