I saw it in one of those free libraries, one of those little cubbies people build on their front lawn, in front of their house, to encourage people to take and leave used books in their neighborhood.

I took “Giant Steps” by Anthony Robbins, “365 Daily Lessons in Self-Mastery.”

I like it and will be reading it everyday for a year I guess to garner more motivation in my life.

If you’re up for something like this too, check out the book.

Reading a book is one of the best things to do for sure, but not always easy for me to do even though I own a Kindle Fire Tablet and have the OverDrive library app installed.

Ten jumping jacks works like gangbusters if I can just get up and do it.

I sometimes play video games, but not that often because those are addictive and it waste lots of time. Movies and TV shows are a great way to zone out, but again can waste lots of time.

What I’d really like to know is why I find it so difficult to stop and take a deep breath? Meditation is hard for me to practice.

I’ve found my favorite thing to do when I’m unhappy or thinking negatively is free write about whatever’s on my m

I see how some people online like to make jokes about writing “not” being a therapeutic activity, but these people really don’t know what they’re talking about and honestly I go out of my way to avoid reading blog posts slanted in this way.

I talk more about the subject of thinking too much in my YouTube Video, “Thinking too much is stupid — Duh!”
