I am endorsing for doing something that I didn’t want to do. I decided to be group minded by bringing my mother in-law her news paper. She is a strong link for me because of her negativity and nastiness. I also rode my bike to do this errand so my dog Max could get some exercise as well. He usually loves to pull me as I walk because he gets so excited, so when I let him pull the bike and go at his own speed he really gets a good work out. 
That's so cute. I have a dog and can really relate to that. She gets excited when I take her outside, too. |

I am really proud of the efforts I put forth today. I posted an example and then got to work. It was one of those days that surely called for the spotting, " When you feel your worst and try your hardest you make the most gain! Oh so true!!!! |

I haven't done much Recovery reading in quite awhile. I am now endorsing myself for having read several chapters from MYFMYA in the last few days. I endorse myself for making the decision to read at least one chapter from his books on a daily basis and that it's OK to miss a day here and there.

I endorse for posting my first forum example yesterday.
I endorse for not allowing some negative comments from my husband today to lead to lowered feelings; My own inner approval is worth countless approvals from the outer environment; and I was not in angry temper over it.
I endorse for bearing the discomfort of driving in foggy, rainy weather tonight in order to go to an important meeting...a meeting which brought comfort to me.

I self endorsed big time for controlling my speech muscle when a co-worker who is a strong link for me stepped in on a conversation I was having with customers. Both times she stepped right in front of me to put her 2 cents in. I still can’t believe I stepped back and smiled and let her have the show. I excused rather than accused. I also told one safe person to get it off my chest and then controlled impules big time not to complain . This is average behavior unfortunately. Last time she displayed a lack of culture with me, I let her have it verbally. Complained and lost my temper so just about everyone could hear and then complained when I got home to family and friends. My teeth are hurting this morning so I must have still been grinding my teeth last night...LOL! But, I bore the discomfort and comfort came!...LOL! |

I can endorse for trigger spotting early in the day.
My trigger spotting got me going and taking a few things in part acts. That has lead to action on a few issues that I have avoided. Procrastinating. I got going on the laundry and have more clean clothes to wear and a sense of accomplishment. Endorse endorse endorse.
My thanks go to Kathleen for her timely posting on that issue.

| My husband is going through a difficult time with issues with his mother and his siblings. I am endorsing for controlling my impulse to butt in on issues that don't concern me and for the impulses for wanting to control what the feeling he is facing. I am self endorsing for being group minded with my husband for offering support and for the group mindedness of being supportive of my daughter by allowing her the dignity of making her own decision regarding medical procedures she is considering. Before my Recovery training and not too long ago my impulse would be to over step my boundaries with her. |

| Today I endorse myself for getting to a f2f RI meeting, even though I was late; I endorse myself for presenting an example and I endorse myself for the realization, during the spotting part of the example, that I am developing the habit of endorsing myself more and more...when I first started giving examples, I almost never endorsed..now it is becoming a habit! I endorse myself further for treating my recovery as a business rather than a game; and for practicing self-discipline: My Supreme Goal is my Mental Health; my Supreme Value is my Inner Peace; and the Supreme Method is Self-Discipline. |

I endorsed for not buy two books but instead reserved them at the library.
I resisted the recurring {unhealthy} impulse to go out for a pint of Rocky Road ice cream.
I am especially endorsing for the latter!
The will says yes and the will says NO.
