control my emotions better
Things I have done so far

Since I first started to accomplish this, I have learned two very important things about controlling my emotions. First, I question my feelings that make me upset. I am reading a book called Loving What Is, and I have learned to question my thoughts. If I have a thought that invokes a feeling I do not like, I ask myself four questions. 1. Is it true? 2. Is it absolutely true? 3. How do I react when I have that thought? and 4. Where would I be without that thought? And then lastly, I turnaround the thought.

The second thing I have learned is that I can let go of thoughts that upset me as quickly as they pop into my head. They came from nowhere, and I can get rid of them just as easily. When I learn to let go of the feelings associated with the thought, it is much easier to control my emotions. I am reading about this in another book called The Sedona Method.

Yippee!



go into an abandoned barn
Actually take a tour

I have wanted to do this since I was a teenager! I love old barns and abandoned ones are even better. Weekend drives out in the country always have these alongside the highway. How will I ever get my nerve to go in one?



see the northern lights
Alone or with someone

I started planning a trip to see them once. We were going to get married there. We never made it there although we did get married. Now I am single again :.( and I am determined to go on a trip to Canada to see the Northern Lights with or without someone. I can do this alone, right? That’s not too dangerous or weird is it? Oh well, if I can’t be with the one I love, I will love the one I am with….me.
