2. Remove all of the photos from one of those old magnetic photo albums and use the album as your wish album. I have one that I have begun to fill with photos of things that I would like to attract to my life. You would be amazed at how many of those things come true... or something similar.
3. I really have no interest in cars at all, but found the funniest radio show on MPR radio. I have never
laughed so hard and it's all thanks to the two brothers who host the show. Check them out. It's called Click and Clack.
4. Buy yourself a lottery ticket and cross your fingers. What is the most that you have ever won and did you have that
odd little feeling that you were going to win??
5. I read somewhere years ago that I thought it would be a cool idea. On your birthday, you should do something that you have always wanted to do. For example, my husband should rent an Astin Martin to drive for the day. Just imagine all the great memories that you could create as you move from one birthday to the next.
6. Learn to cook 7 meals. No stress involved and you always know what you need to buy at the supermarket. No stress and that's just the way I like it. But do allow yourself days to experiment... just for the fun of it!
7. As a child, I loved to stretch across my bed and spend the afternoon, reading. Give this a try again. Choose one of the books from the list that you made earlier this month and stretch out just like you once did! I began collecting Trixie Belden books but have yet to sit down and read one!!
8. Put away all of your Christmas Decorating items, but keep the snowmen. They can be used until the snowmen melt in the spring. It's called winter decorating.
9. How is your meditating coming? I'm headed outside where it will hopefully be nice and quiet. A few birds will be
okay I'm thinking. They will be kind of soothing.
10. Eat a little of something that you once loved as a child. I'm not telling you to eat as much as you might have as a child, but treat yourself every once in a while
11. Convince someone to give you a foot massage. It might take some doing, but the end result is something to work toward!
12. A bubble bath... what could be more relaxing than stretching out in a bath full of bubbles and oh yes, no shaving your legs allowed. You can read if you like, but it has to be fiction. No learning anything.
13. Check your chin for strays. When you are done you will definitely be happier lol!
14 I'm definitely working on my phobia and I wrote about it again in my SuperBetter Secret Journal. Actually, that note is getting quite long... but it does seem to be working. Tomorrow, hubby has to go to have a filling fixed and I told him when he makes the appointment, to choose 9:30 or so appointment... the earlier the better. At least I don't have to wait around all day to head off. Not really sure if I'm helping or hurting my aim in getting over this phobia, but every little bit helps!
15. Buy yourself a Christmas present, wrap it and then put it in your closet. Do your best to forget what you
bought. I will tell you why in December.
16. Now that Christmas is over, it's time that I went through my baking area of the kitchen to see what I have left and what needs topping up. And while I am at it, I can wash out the cupboards. There is nothing worse than seeing rings on the shelves... at least for me. I like my shelves all neat and orderly... and clean.

Jan 18...
It was about 4 in the morning and I couldn't sleep and I certainly
tried!! Finally got up and went into the spare bedroom and looked for
something to read. Luckily, there was lots to choose from and I picked
up an old Harlequin novel that the library had put out in its give away
box, and sat for way too long reading about someone else's life.
I have to admit that I hated doodling when I first started with SuperBetter, but I'm really enjoying it. One thing you might want to do, if you start doodling, be sure to date the back of each and state what you were involved in, the mood etc. It will amaze you how each day will differ!
Okay that's me for the last few weeks and now I want to talk about something else... like happiness. November always makes me feel this way. I have a few new ideas so stay tuned.. I'm working on some new plans for the blog!!
A few more thoughts....
This blog has been created for those of you who suffer like me from ANXIETY.. when all you can think about are all the bad things that might happen to you. Have you noticed that they never do, but you still worry about the next time, chances that they might. That has been my life for way too long and no one has ever come up with a way to fix me ;) So, just give it a try and whenever a nasty thought or worry pops into your head, replace it by popping over here and take a look at what I have found for you. I was worried that I just might run out of curiosities, but so far, it hasn't happened! I don't think that a day goes by when something makes me curious!!
