I have taken this over from my ‘Stop being scared of people’ goal. Wanted to have a more positive goal and also didn’t want to just stop being scared, wanted to feel more powerful without being aggressive. So here’s hoping!

How I did it: Can't say this makes me happy as it scares the %^%^ out of me to have to approach people. I've decided to change this goal for the more positive Be assertive. Here's hoping I achieve this! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Made sure I called people, let people know how I was feeling about them, listened a lot, made the effort to get in touch and stay in touch, sent messages and gifts when I thought someone could use a boost, and my speciality - worried about people and how I could help them. Glad I did this as my sister and I especially are in a much better place, and realised how much I love their company. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Work gave me a voucher and was going to upgrade my iPod (I love iPods!!!) but decided to use this on him instead of myself. He was really surprised and so happy but wanted me to use the money for myself. But the camera is something we can both enjoy and it will be great to use on our Caribbean trip (10 weeks and two days!!), and he has always wanted one. Very happy. Read how I did it…

Ugh, nice morning, but not nice afternoon – head of department noticed a typo in something I’ve done and went round mentioning it to everyone. It hadn’t been distributed and only 90 A5 copies made so hardly the end of the world but feel guilty. Tried talking to myself to say it’s not an issue but my anxious self is not listening. So now feel dread. It’s laughable that I do the things I do, but sweat the trivial rubbish which doesn’t matter. Also told school wouldn’t be volunteering this week as had heavy workload – told them in plenty of time and teacher said not to worry…..and I guess you know what happens next…feel worried and guilty. Wish I could stop the messiness in my head, just feel dread in stomach now, but cannot logically and reasonably explain why. I am truly mental.
I wasn’t looking to lose weight especially but saw this on fellow 43T poster’s entries and thought, I’ll give it a go. Now, will I be able to tick this off by Friday’s party?
