I don't understand how 'the opposite of low self-esteem is humilty'???
Isn't the opposite to low self-esteem -- high self-esteem?
And doesn't humility mean recognising your limitations?

Thanks for the starter, Sal (and your response to my post last week).
I have not had a good start today, did not sleep well and felt ill. Feeling better now, but wasting lots of time.
Have dealt with a couple of minor things, need to get onto job application. Time for the chat box!
Thank you all for this forum.

Stubborn Start....Now dissolving
Got up this morning meditated and reflected..
Realize...I was experiencing resistance this morning, based on well meaning conversation I had with colleague yesterday...in which I was encouraged for the writing I had done...and was being told to make sure I wrote this morning....I haven't....and I need to go to work now....but I'm glad I'm aware of it and will give myself permission to not write this morning..and let it go.
On the other hand, I wrote a list of things I want to do today...and will attempt to do some of them after work today:
Quick clean-up
Laundry
drink more watere-mail Sget uw and shpick up checkperhaps do a little writing in evening
Thanks for the support everyone!
Congrats ((hope))!
You broke your record! :grin:
Keep going!
Scribbler's Tuesday CI 8:58 a.m.
Meeting with the third business coach today. Hoping to trade writing for advice, which will help me make better choices about how to spend my energy and time. It's been frustrating to check off all or most of my daily tasks for months on end and still be broke, unable to pay bills and getting deeper in debt. Perhaps these guys will help me find a better way. Forward...

Thanks for starting us out Sal! I'm with Rex, I'm up but I ain't shinin'. I'm 'on call' this week, it began at midnight and I got called at 1 am *sigh*. I slept in but I'm tired and I didn't go to the gym. I need to plan a way to get some exercise into the schedule later today. I'm grumpy if I don't start my day at the gym, and I guess that's a good thing.
I have a seriously critical conference call at 10:00 so after the call I'll make the old todo list. Wish me luck on the call, I HATE confrontation and this will be an uncomfortable call and I'll have to stand up for my team and push back on this other team.

Really liked reading this "sometimes, when i actually start doing things that i've put off, i just need to pretend that i'm doing them when they were supposed to happen."
I've been catching up on some hw and this really helps! Removes the focus from that lateness and refocuses on getting it done "on time".
Good luck with you tasks! :)
:P
nothing like fooling yourself into work. i can't wait until i can just do it without all the extra.
i've been working around some issues today but i've been working and not surfing around issues to that's better than nothing.
