Tell the Truth:
Life gets too complicated when you're trying to keep track of a bunch of lies. A few white lies here and there to spare someone's feelings is generally acceptable and doesn't take much memory space. If you're the director of a rumor tornado, that takes a lot of active plotting, tracking and attention. I don't have time for all that bullshit. I say what's on my mind, what needs to be said, honestly, and I don't sugarcoat. I don't have much tolerance for sugarcoaters either. It's like telling the truth wrapped in so much lie that you can't tell where it starts and stops. What's the good in that?
Establish Personal Control:
I've got a decent grip on this one. I've always been an individual and I don't live my life to gain the approval of others. This point is so closely tied in with the others that there's not much new I can say about it. Life's too short to live it someone else's way! Don't buy that car! You can't move across the country and start over there! You and him won't last longer than 3 months! You'll never be successful without a college degree! Watch me.
Accept What Cannot Be Changed:
*Shrug* Oh well. It is what it is.
My Own: Kick Addictions:
It's hard to be happy when you're chained to your addictions. Addictions are wrought with anxiety and keep you from focusing on what's important. You are less productive at work when all you're thinking about is your next break. It may be harder to find a partner because things like alcoholism, smoking, drugs, gambling, etc, are often deal-breakers. I've kicked a few things, with smoking being the most recent (11 months!). My boyfriend and I quit together and are so much happier now that we did. We went on an all day adventure to the zoo and on the way out I noticed a sign that said the entire zoo is a smoke-free zone. I pointed it out and said, "Could you imagine how shitty this day would have been if we still smoked?" He agreed wholeheartedly. Now if only I could kick this nasty sugar addiction. Working on it!
My Own: Have A Personal Mantra:
"Sometimes, when I'm feeling down about shit--" "Wait, you feel like that sometimes? I didn't think you had any sort of confidence issues!" "Well, yea. Sometimes, I won't feel as sexy or whatever and then I remember...I'm a bad bitch." I'm a bad bitch. I'm everything any housewife strives to be, AND I bring home the bacon. I may not be as bangin' as I was before childbirth, but I can still turn heads. I'm smart, down to earth, funny, and ambitious. My exes still love me, and refer to me as "the one that got away." My soul is O-; I'm good for everyone. So whenever I'm having a little hiccup in my confidence levels, I remind myself that I'm a bad bitch. It's my personal mantra. Everyone's mantra is different, but should all serve the same purpose. Be confident, be happy, be important to yourself! Everything will fall into place when you're right with yourself.
My total score out of 25 was 19. Maybe 20 if you add up the .5 scores. I'll just grade myself on a curve and give it a B. I'm nice to myself like that. :) What did you get? Is there anything you feel is worth adding to the list?
