Here's my baseball diamond (your's may be completely different):
My pitcher is life, sending us fair balls, walks, strike-outs - and not always within our control!
- First base: Attitude & Intention
- Second base: Habits & Behaviors
- Third base: Self-nurturing (someone said "self-basting!")*
- Home base: Victory: Improving my Life
In group last week, we itemized factors which are "team mates" and "opponents."
Team mates (things that help):
- Queen Anne Medical Associates, PLLC
- Partner, kids
- Like-minded people
- Comfort
- Spiritual practice
- Volunteering
- Unrelenting food messages and images
- TV
- Stress
- Loneliness/boredom/grief
- Health issues
- Resentment
- Trauma
- PTSD
Week 4 Exercise:
"If my best friend were in exactly my situation, I would encourage him/her by...."
Good luck, get writing.
We're all in this together.

It's superbowl week. I heard an interview of a player that once played for legendary coach Vince Lombardi, known for getting the best from every player, every game. He said Lombardi told them that they can't be their best just some of the time; they have to be their best every time. Same for us; we do our best professionally day in and day out, but we need to do our best with our nutrition plan the same way, day in and day out. Tough for me . . . .
