make sure my goals are written down that they are realistic - small, include action steps, and are realistic and achievable make sure I review them when necessary and make adjustments as needed

This may not make sense to you but it helps me when I can go and give someone else the support that they need. When I can help someone that makes me feel better. I have always been like this, it will never change because I respect peoples feelings and I will always try my best to help them in any way I can.

some days are better than others and I have to remind myself to make the choices I can and go with the flow on the rest. Without bad or stressful days I wouldn't know what the peaceful days were like or continue to grow from every experience. I refuse to be stagnant

Lately I have found that stepping back from my own life has had quite an effect. When I look at someone else and how I can improve their life, I focus less on my problems.

I color. I have a big box of crayons and 3 coloring books that are just MINE. It makes me focus on something other than what was bothering me and at the same time reminds me of when things were simpler.

Nancy, that is a wonderful idea! I used to volunteer when I lived in Maine. I volunteered at the school, I worked with the 2nd graders I LOVED IT. I miss it so much but I can't do it here as they have teachers aides that get paid for what I did for free. Also, I don't drive right now, it has been awhile,I'm not sure if I want to drive again!

get involved with a volunteer opportunity to take the focus off myself.

Since the start of the year, I've been laying it on thick with the positive self-talk, and it's really working! When I start getting stressed, I take a deep breath, and just start a litany of "OK, Sue, You can do this; you bring so much to the table; all that experience, all that motivation; this is nothing to get freaked out by..." etc. etc.
Sometimes that's all I need!
I'm Sue, and I won't let fear hold me back.

review my spark goals and see if I need to make adjustments to continue making progress.

I visit SparkPeople and talk to friends. Nancy, I took one of your suggestions and started writing things down, I just have it on paper right now, but when I go to the Counselors today, I will get a couple of notebooks. Thank you, My Friend

If something or someone is upsetting me or I am preoccupied with thoughts about the situation, I go to that person and share. This is hard to do for me, but it clears the air and mores times than naught I have built a situation up to more than it actually is.
This also helps me to trust my instincts.

On World Vegetarian Day, most people aren't willing to trade in their turkey for tofurkey. Luckily, you can still reap the benefits of vegetarianism by trying flexitarianism on for size.
