Dear All, I've highlighted Maddies wonderful success story below in Green for you all to read and applaud her and to take courage from.
We might suffer from debilitating conditions but with the right mindset and some practical thing WE CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!
EVEN MORE POWER TO US FOR OVERCOMING A "LIMITATION"
I am so proud, pleased,excited and happy for Maddie:bighug1: and also for Munkey who also deserves a big :hugs: who even with a dislocated knee started off his day by throwing out the bad habits (that produce the same predictable bad results) and introduced a new exciting start to his day.
Today I'd like to us to think about how we talk to talk to ourselves. I used to be a highly competitive golfer and I was thinking about this the other day when my "inner voice" or "inner chatter" started as it invariably does from time to time when I'm feeling a bit down. Part 1 involves questions we ask ourselves
Question 1:
Why Me? What's wrong with me? Why am I so .....? Why does this always happen to me?
Answer: Well -- If you ask yourself a lousy question, your brain will search it's database files and come up with an equally valid LOUSY answer.
If you ask a question like "why am I so fat" your brain will probably answer "because you eat all the wrong things and don't move you lazy son of a *****!!!!
It would be a better question to ask "what would I have to do in order to lose weight.
Your brain would then come up with loads of POSITIVE answers for you to choose from.
Food for thought???
Think very carefully about how your inner dialogue affects you
Best wishes to all and well done once again to Maddie and Munkey

OK - I DID IT!!!! :biggrin:
The trouble with busy roads is that you can't hear people walking up behind you. I had 2 terrifying, heartstopping moments as I was overtaken. :scared15: I carried on, though - looked for birds in the trees, felt the wind on my face, challenged myself to get to the next lampost. I was totally out of breathe when I got to dad's but fortunately he was concentrating on his hospital appointment too much to notice. A cup of tea calmed me down. We're home now and I feel exhausted but pleased with myself.
I think I did well. :biggrin:
