The most important goal I have set for myself is limiting the amount of negative thoughts and energy that always seems to try and take over my life. In order to keep this at bay and keep winning on EBay, I always remind myself what it really means to me to become a healthier person. Two very important categories will describe those things that healthy people need to remember. THEY HAVE POSITIVE, HEALTHY FEELINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES. and THEY HAVE POSITIVE FEELING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.
2. They can take life's disappointments in stride, without persistent self-pity.
3. They neither underestimate nor overestimate their abilities.
4. They can accept their own shortcomings, criticism from others and the chance to improve.
5. They have a tolerant, easygoing attitude toward themselves and others. They can laugh at themselves.
6. They feel able to deal with most situations that come their way and can meet emergencies with poise.
7. They get satisfaction from simple pleasures.
8. They respect and like themselves.
9. They don't WORRY about what they cannot help.
