I wanted to learn because my husband is Dutch. Now we are getting divorced, so the motivation is dwindling.

How I did it: First one day at the time. Just not buying. Remember that you can still ask for candy, and eat if offered, just not buy.It got easier soon, and the last handful of months were really easy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got a three-year diary and every day wrote done some gratitudes (things that made me happy that day) and some acknowledgements (things I've done). In the beginning I'd write the things down as they happened, but later I started writing them last thing that night (or next morning, if I was really too tired to write). Read how I did it…
How I did it: It starts with shutting up when you feel a vent or a whine coming. :) Next I'd take a close look at the matter, and tried to sum it up into just one sentence. That way I'd have one as a spare, to use to further illustrate the cause of annoyance. Sometimes the initial vent took both of the sentences. Then, after that, it was clearly again time to shut up. :) Read how I did it…

Did this at Ruoholahti metro station today, but once is not enough, so I need to do this more.
I’m not good at anything yet, but I’m getting better with everything.
I suspect this goal will never be finished, and that’s good. Always new things to learn.
