beginning to see the real W

[Dr LOve]

Thanks Bond, you may be right. From one of my classes I have we are discussing what your mind can do to you. How sometimes what we believe is the truth is only what our mind tells us is the truth.
I have a great example that happened to me today. When I got to school I saw one of my class mates outside. I told him I had all my homework done but was having a problem with one of the questions.
When I told him which one he said I was doing the wrong assignment. I was supposed to do Case # 3 in section one.
Right off the bat I panicked and thought S%it. How could I have screwed up? Well I went to class early and looked at my notes and guess what? I DID DO THE RIGHT ASSIGNMENT.
(This was a “feel good moment”) But see my brain was telling me that the “truth” was that I screwed up. I did not have confidence in myself. Of course I could have done the wrong one but instead of just thinking I should see if I did or not I automatically thought I was wrong…

Had another ‘feel good” moment last night. We had MIL over for a BBQ. It was nice outside so wife asked her if she wanted to go out and look at my flower garden. MIL is 88 yrs old. So here I was looking outside to see wife helping her mom around our yard showing her my work…
Also today when I got home from school wife called me into her office and showed me a link on her computer for the author of the self help book on positive thinking. It turns out that he was an instructor at the college I am attending. This feel good moment is that w IS reading this book and IS looking for a way to improve her. (And it gives us something to discuss)

Ok wish me luck tonight with dancing w the stars
