Everywhere in life, What We Notice TOTALLY counts, and Loving inner and outer self-talk is Vital! Thank You for your work, Alisa Rose Great Article, Mike!

During the first session of the workshop, we talk a great deal about how often we apologize for thinking the way we do, and for things that are not our "fault". And of course there are those times when we say "I'm sorry" when we really aren't. I printed the article and gave it to the participants--they loved it! Thanks!

I usually end up apologizing to myself for myself and it's truly a vicious cycle. The result: I waste way too much time infatuated with why I don't believe I'll ever have enough confidence to perform a task succesfully, so I fail to perform the task at hand and the cycle continues. This definitely gets me thinking on ways to improve this! Thanks so much! - Ben I catch myself doing this all of the time.

I have been trying to do less apoligizing for ME, because it definitley brings me down. Thanks for REMINDING me to do better! I enjoy your emails! Mike,
