When I'm all by myself and i want to spice up the day.

I look at myself and say hello syllabus and your such a handsome young devil. (Chuckle...Chuckle)

Then I dress up the best that I can and get my hair done and go to casual places such as the library, a meet up social gathering, maybe a new acquaintance I just met. I envision myself as who I want to be not who I am. I then proceeded with the confidence of (10) that way if I come up short let's say (7) in the ending I'm still going to get a passing grade.

Syllabus18, that's an excellent, excellent idea. Way to Go!

I learned that through a mentor I had long ago. It changed

my life forever. After all, people that we meet don't really

know how we may be suffering on the inside. How we portray

ourselves is what people see in us. You are the first person on

this forum who has mentioned this technique. It makes me happy

to know that it is working for you as it did for me.

Keep up the good work, you've got this! :) x
