Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Great way to direct yourself towards a desired goal Gail And it allows you permission to 'try' it out instead of dropping like a ton of bricks with a mandate.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 That's a fantastic idea! Visualizing is a great technique for accomplishing goals and for getting what you want out of life. I've always used visualization to imagine myself accomplishing big goals, but I've never thought about using it to help me achieve small goals. It really just makes so much sense! I will try it from now on (and hopefully I will not only lose weight but also stop biting my stubby nails). Thanks for the tip! <3---- > > I have made up a game I play with myself that seems to help me move > towards any goal I would like to embrace..... Thought I would share > it.

Thanks for the tip! > What else has worked with my nails is when I do feel a very very very strong desire or they keep going to my mouth. I cut what ever is there back and start over. Each time between cut backs has become longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
