Day - 82

Good Morning

 

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:3,4

 

 

 Refreshing water in the morning!

And during the day...

Ideal: 2 cups of warm water as soon as I wake up.

Sometimes I have tea.

 

 

The Lost Art of Thinking

 

How to Improve Emotional Intelligence and Achieve Peak Mental Performance

according to Dr. Neil Nedley, M.D. 

 

All-or-nothing Thinking Leads to:

- low self-control

- procrastination

- incomplete projects

- exaggeration

- suicidal thoughts

- discouragement

- pessimism

- frustration

 

 

 

 

Things Have to be "Perfect"

 

 

All-or nothing thinkers are also very often perfectionists. If they can't do something well, they'd rather not do it at all; if a situation doesn't go perfectly, they feel like an abject failure.

Even the goals that such thinkers set for themselves are measure in absolute terms.

 

Perfectionism is really a distortion of the challenge to "do your best" in the person who believes his or her best must always  mean perfect. The individual becomes fearful of making mistakes and may experience stress, anxiety disorders, and perfection as a result.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing perfection. We must be reasonable in our expectations, however. While we should always strive for, hope for, and desire the best, it is unrealistic to believe that we and everything we do will be met with smashing success.

Some people pride themselves on being all-or-nothing thinkers. To them, the very idea implies strength and certainty. The fact is, there are many levels of success in fife.
 

 

 

My exercise:
 

 

Add at least extra 15 - 20 minutes for stretching.

We are vegetarian/vegan - I don't cook with eggs and dairy products. But sometimes for different reasons occasionally we have it.  

 

 

Good night.
