WEEKLY RECAP February 10th - 16th 2018 |

Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |

Saturday, February 10th Make no mistake - setting boundaries is going to piss somebody off. Setting boundaries is going to inspire at least one person in your life to pressure you to go back to the way things were. And setting boundaries is probably going to stir up either a little, or a lot, of feelings of unworthiness in your own head. That stuff is uncomfortable. | | |

Sunday, February 11th You need as much support as you need, for as long as you need it. Denying your need for support doesn't help. Being embarrassed about your need for support doesn't help. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, February 12th (AM) If you want to be there for others-- be there for yourself. If being there for others means abandoning yourself, you're going to run out of gas much sooner than later. It's simply not sustainable. | | |
|
| | Monday, February 12th (PM) There is truly nothing stronger than asking for help when you need it. People who are afraid of looking "weak" often don't ask for help when they need it. They prioritize APPEARING strong over BEING strong. | | |

|
| | Tuesday, February 13th (Blog) "We are what we focus on." What we focus on, with consistency and intensity, forms the core of our self-image. And our self-image determines what we are and are not willing to do in our lives; what we’re willing to tolerate in our lives; the goals we feel good about pursuing; the rewards we believe we deserve. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, February 13th (PM) Many people will try to convince you that you need to completely reinvent yourself to have a better life. Not only is that not true, that sets you up with an almost impossible task-- "reinventing" a self you've spent decades constructing is no easy task. The fact is, big changes are most often the result of people building on... | | |

|
| | Wednesday, February 14th (AM) Look to the horizon to the extent that it keeps you motivated and inspired. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, February 14th (PM) Mistakes happen. Imperfections exist. Bad days are going to happen. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, February 15th (Blog): "Your results reflect your commitment...and a lot of other stuff." It’s a good thing to be “committed” to our goals. But if we get it in our heads that our results are a reflection of our level of “commitment,” and nothing else, then we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment and discouragement when things don’t go our way. | | |
|
| | Thursday, February 15th (PM) I WISH it was as simple as "think positively, and positive things will happen to you." If it was as simple as that I'd be the first one enthusiastically shouting it from the highest hill. The loftiest rooftop. I'd SHOUT it, I tell you. But...it's not that simple. Don't get me wrong-- the research definitely shows that optimists tend to do better than pessimists. But that has nothing to do with positive thoughts creating positive vibes, per se. | | |

|
| | Friday, February 16th (AM) All habits are, are really well-rehearsed patterns of behaviors. Behaviors that are well-rehearsed become easier to do again, because the pathways in the brain that make those behaviors possible get wider and easier for nerve impulses to travel down the more they're used. | | |
|
| | Friday, February 16th (PM) Don't lift yourself to "one thing." Lots of people might try to tell you that if you don't have the potential to be great at something, you shouldn't try it, shouldn't do it, shouldn't attempt to learn about it. Often we're tempted to give up on things we're not immediately good at or... | | |
