One of the simplest, yet most empowering comments I have heard is from Dr. Sue Morter. Aside from being a powerhouse speaker, she���s extremely inspirational, a dynamo on the stage, and outstandingly wise. "So, what did liberating lifealtering observation did she lay pass unto you?" You ask, breathless with anticipation. "It���s difficult until it isn���t." "Huh? That���s it?" Yep; five words; seven if you don���t count contractions. But, consider the message in that unvarnished declaration. Most of what we want for ourselves is really not difficult to obtain. We possess the tools (or know where to get them) and we know what we desire; all we have to do is go get it. The hitch in the giddy up is how we assemble the plan, making it complex and complicated. We smother it with all makeup of parameters to which we really cannot ��� or do not want to ��� abide. We spend so much energy building the golden pathway that we���re too exhausted to walk upon it. As case in point, how ���bout we look at losing weight? (Wow, who would think I���d choose that as an example?) The bottom line of weight loss is brilliantly clear: Eat less; move more. Period. No pills, no programs, no late-night TV promises. See? That���s not difficult, is it? If I regularly shut my mouth a few minutes earlier and move my feet a couple of steps further, the pounds "magically" falls away. We all know that. Yet, because we���re in such a hurry to "get there," we go overboard in the implementation and develop barriers to actually achieving what we want. Boldly, I stand tall, placing my fists upon my hips, puffing out my chest, and proclaiming to anyone who cares (and many who don���t). "I am now on a diet! (Insert trumpets���) Therefore, until I lose 30 pounds, I shall not be able to go with my friends, family, Scott or business associates to any eating establishment. While imprisoned in my barren, spartan, kitchen, I will consume only unprocessed, all-natural, organic, high-fiber, sugar-free, mostly tasteless, foodstuffs. Furthermore, I will rise two hours earlier each and every day and spend that time meditating, journaling, and exercising. I have calculated that this plan will shall allow me to lose three pounds a week, which I will do this day forth until I have achieved my goals." After my pronouncement, I twirl spectacularly on my heels, place nose firmly in the air and stomp dramatically into my self-established sensory-deprivation chamber, where I shall remain in exclusion until I have achieved a smaller waistline. Hey Tinkerbell, can we put down the fairy-wand and step out from fantasy-land for a moment? What began as extremely unfussy and obtainable intention ��� eating better and moving more ��� has erupted into a full-scale megaproduction requiring learning how to cook differently, shopping with new eyes, rearranging schedules, altering relationships, and devising self-inflicting intimidating goals. Building such blockades makes the procedure ridiculously difficult and horribly unpleasant. After ramming one���s head against the wall we for Q. enough,finallywill look go" doors, "letting and releasing as unproductive the artificial rules and limiting beliefs; which allows us to get down to basics. We find something we will actually do and take one small, simple, easy, baby step; which we repeat until we get actually get what we want. It was difficult. Then it wasn���t. It is up to each of us to determine when we want that to change. Marcus Scott "Q" Marcus is the CRP (Chief Recovering Perfectionist) of www.ThisTimeIMeanIt.com.

Introduction Of Flivver Radio Receiver Stirs Keen Interest Among Amateurs Of County Considerable interest has been aroused recently in the radio work of Melville E. Foster, a student of the University of Minnesota, whose parents reside in Red Bluff. He has figured conspicuously in the introduction of a flivver among radio receivers, to which eastern newspapers and magazines have been devoting no little space. ��� Feb. 16, 1923 support system for her, and yet we feel shut out by the alliance with my mother. Jenny goes to her grandmother almost exclusively with all of her feelings, and I get the sense that Mom enjoys being so important to her. I know that my mother loves Jenny immensely, but I���m not sure whether she is helping or hurting. What do you think? ��� Ambivalent in Alabama Dear Alabama: If your mother acts as Jenny���s confidante and works through the girl���s feelings of abandonment or grief over the divorce, she is helping. Jenny may find that her grandmother is easy to talk with and seems to understand her best, in which case, she is more likely to confide in her exclusively. However, if Mom is deliberately keeping Jenny away from family members and encouraging her to blame her mother or father, mistrust others or behave secretively, she is doing harm. Your brother may be preoccupied with his own problems and grateful that his mother is taking charge. We recommend you try to connect with Jenny when you can (don���t push), and encourage her to speak to her school counselor as a backup. Dear Annie: I���m 46 and have a handicapped license plate. I can���t believe how many people have given me dirty looks for parking in handicapped spots. One guy even confronted me at the grocery, saying, ������I hear they���re giving out some pretty hefty fines for that.������ I was issued the plate because I was born with a clubfoot. I���ve had three reconstructive surgeries, acupuncture treatments and 14 cortisone injections. I take a non-steroidal antiinflammatory medication daily and Vicodin when I absolutely must. I have arthritis in my foot and ankle, and part of my Achilles tendon has calcified. Please tell your readers that one doesn���t have to be in a wheelchair to warrant a handicapped plate. Believe me, I wish I didn���t need it. ��� Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: In their zeal to protect the rights of the handicapped, many well-intentioned folks mistakenly assume that unless they can see your disability, you must be faking. We often hear from people with emphysema telling us of the hostility they encounter when legitimately using handicapped parking spaces.
