Thanks MIC25.

The 180's I need to do are:

#1 I must learn to control my temper!

I am on medication to help with my anxiety and depression which helps me stay more composed. However, my IC should be focused on anger management first. I need to become better at setting boundaries and communicating calmly especially if I have had my feelings hurt or I am under pressure,

#2 I need to joke and laugh more in all aspects of life.

I am usually too serious and worried about tomorrow to enjoy today.

#3 Don't complain about anything!

This goes from messes that are left by family members, family pets or anything from temporary loss of income to politics or people I may dislike.

GAL activities

#1 I am presently working on setting up my picture framing equipment so I can frame and sell my remaining inventory from my store I closed in 2007. I took great pride in my art gallery and frame shop. I wasn't rich but I had a great deal more self worth. I sold one one custom framed picture on Friday and I have the itch again.

#2 start painting pictures again for pleasure, friends and family and for sale.

#3 Spend quality time with adult children

#4 When income goes up and it will, take a dance class, some country or maybe beginners salsa.
Dancing is way out of my comfort zone, but I know if I could learn to dance it would be a big boost in self confidence.
