I really never would have pictured myself being able to do this, but I submitted a manuscript not too long ago and actually got my book published. Usually my self-criticism would have gotten in the way of doing something like this, but I'm definitely less affected now by what other people think and ...

Is anyone else having a hard time with this? I know that I still am a negative thinker, but I wrote 1 thought down the whole day. Does anyone have tips on how to recognize when you are having the negative thought, because they are going right over my head.

I started this session the Thursday before this past Thursday and through mid-afternoon Monday I was doing great.

I have an upcoming trip and I have to make a 6 hour drive from Phoenix to LA....long stretches of nothing between the 2 cities. I'm ...

Speaking about eating out...last night i went to a friend's house for dinner. Usually I eat light so as not to encourage any stomach problems, but they prepared the dinner especially for our anniversary and it was so good that i ate more than usual. I felt fine for the most part but then as I ...
