Ditto!

I was reading a post from The Household Helper about the six ways to cope with stress, and the one emphasis there is to get the needed 8-hours sleep - when you're addicted to the net, how can you?

Yeah, sleep deprivation is stress.

======

Another post on the To-Do List, I think I have to do something about that, like 5 tasks per day just for me to really be productive (it's been sometime now that I've been procrastinating, even my hubby keeps reminding of that email I was supposed to have made already for him). Yeah, that To-Do List, I needed that.

======

Another post on negative thoughts, yeah, at times, I've been planning to give up some things that I've been keeping at bay for a while, I know it's about time I should do it, aside from procrastination, depression seems to be getting into my system. Still trying to get away with the cons.

======

Still another post, on happy thoughts, I want to emphasize these that I wanted to post on my wall as a constant reminder of keeping negative ideas away (copy pasted from The Household Helper post):

* Seek out positive people to associate with.
* Expose yourself to all the wonderful books, music and movies available.
* Find the one important thing in your life that’s important, and pursue it.
* Show kindness and respect towards others.
* Live life as if every day is your last.
* Use positive reinforcement wherever and whenever you can.
* Use visualization methods to view the positive aspects of life.
* Speak in a positive tone.
* Rid your mind of negative thinking with yoga and exercise.
* Let your expectations reflect your positive attitude.
* Allow peace of mind to envelop you.
* Become your own best friend.
There is a wonderful poem which clearly explains how unhappiness can thwart our every desire.
If you think you are beaten you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you want to win but think you can’t;
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose you’re lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in a state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger and faster man.
Happiness is not a genetic trait we are born with. It is ingrained in us by our parents and those we love. It is up to us, then, to maintain it, share it, and build our lives around it. Think happy, and you will be happy.
***Yeah, as a SAHM and a WAHM, the household helper is a big help.
