Cautiously optimistic

Journaling again----

I made some concrete solution oriented goals for myself today. I tried to be as specific as possible. My goals are:

#1-Stop checking cell phone records period.
-Do NOT make this harder then it has to be.
Stay away from the website. Pay my bill over the phone to avoid the temptation. This MUST be done for my own piece of mind.

#2-Do not discuss my marriage or the state of my marriage with anyone except:
-The DB community
- My therapist

-Hearing other people's advice or comments is making it harder for me to figure things out for myself. I know people mean well, and they don't want to see me in pain, but they are hurting me more than helping. Nobody knows 100% what is going on except for H & I.
-If people ask, I will say either "Nothing new" or "We're separated" and leave it at that. I NEED to keep this promise to myself. If people persist, I will inform them that I am trying to focus on me.

#3-Positive thinking! This is going to be the HARDEST for me.
-When I start to think negatively, I will say out loud "STOP IT!" Or something along those lines to bring me back to a more positive place.
-Continue to wear my rubber band, I'm wearing it for a reason.
-Write down things I like about myself, and say them out loud.

How do they sound?
