Question of the Day: Day 64
Do you have a behavior that you just don't like or that prevents you from being successful?
If you wanted to change it what steps would you take and who could help you?

This is a hard one. I would like to be less quick to insult people. I mean everything I say in jest, but some of my barbs can be quite stinging, and I don't know when to stop. As for changing it...I am trying to be more sensitive, to hold my tounge, to make a different joke. I think it is making me a better person. As for help...on this one I don't think there is anyone who can help.
In the past I was very angry. I would bottle up my anger and then lose it in an inapropiate place. Now I am more balanced. What changed? I think it was God. Cheesey as it sounds, I think that is the biggest change: I came to believe in a God that loved me, and as a result, feel more balanced, feel His presence in my life.
I do not believe I have a behavior problem I do know that I am battling a mental illness but I am better because I have learned how to live with it and still be successful.
Do you have a behavior that you just don't like or that prevents you from being successful?
If you wanted to change it what steps would you take and who could help you? Yes I get mad easily. and if you repeat things over and over i get pissed off and flip.
Procrastinating is probably the first thing that I need to work on but, being who I am, it always ends up getting postponed for something more (or less)important. You get my drift?
I think that the first thing I'd have to is start making lists so that I could prioritize what needs to be done. Then post the list where I can see it every single day and just start plugging away and crossing things off as they are completed. Oh, and I should really reward myself each time I finish a project! I really think that might be a good motivation.
My family could help by asking me now and then how my list is going. Oh, and they should reward me each time I finish something, too!
Well, in all seriousness, I don't have to have rewards but it sure wouldn't hurt either.
I believe that I do have a behavior that dose prevent me from being successful. That would be my anger, I do want to change it but at times it becomes really hard to. I believe that I have done a lot better with it though. I would like to say who has helped me being able control my anger it would be my loving teacher Michelle and Debbi, also a lady named Dianna W. Also Jon V.F and Dewayne, Jeff and all the staff at Victor youth services and North Valley Schools all this people have helped me become a more respectable person and also they have helped me become a person who dose care what people thinks about him and I am thankful to them that they have done this for me I hope they will know that I am happy they have helped me and because of that I will be a better person in the world I will know how to listen to people and try to understand why people do what they do I have learned more in school I am a lot smarter and more caring and more giving I am able to walk away from a lot of thing’s that I have not been able to walk away from before I still need help controlling my anger but at least they and I know that that I have learned how to control my anger. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND MYSELF AND LEARN WHAT I WAS SO ANGERY ABOUT AND ALSO TEACHING ME HOW TO CONTROL MYANGER AND FOR HELPING BE TO BE A BETTER PERSON THANK YOU I WILL MISS ALL OF YOU. I hope all of you know that you have helped me learned how ton take control of my life.

I sometimes stutter. I never used to, but sometime after I had started using drugs, I realized that it had affected my ability to convert thoughts to spoken words. I cleaned up my act, but the stuttering stayed. There's a side-effect I had never heard about.
Anyway, I think it makes me look less certain of myself or that I flat out appear not to know what I'm talking about. I guess I could join Toastmasters or something and practice public speaking, focussing on enunciating and speaking with a clear, concise delivery. I'd be lieing if I said that this was how I wanted to spend what little free time I have.
