2. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago?

Where do I start?!

That guys with accents, while appearing to be suave and debonair, are not necessary better quality people. In other words, don't be carried away by the superficial.

Listen to your gut instincts. If you're not attracted to someone, don't assume it will come about later.

No singular person or situation is the be-all, end-all. If something doesn't work out the way you wanted, celebrate. The Universe is doing you a favor, even if you can't see it right away.

After all, do you *really* know what you want? You know that saying, "be careful what you wish for, you might get it."

Don't take anything personally. Example: if someone is a shit to you, it reflects upon them and not you.

Choose your battles. Very little is really worth getting upset over.

If you find yourself getting upset and worked up, stop and think. Why are you aggravated? Have you gotten enough food? Enough sleep? Did you forget your meds? Sometimes emotions are a result of factors other than the situation at hand.


Says I, Newpeep, the wise old sage.

Later.

Wow kickass...you learned a bunch of junk. I learned once at a 12-step meeting for overeaters, you can use the word "HALT" to determine when you're most vulnerable...in other words, dont let yourself get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. My problem is usually the H or the T part. I love your blog...I'm gonna link ya. I'm glad you're playin! :)

Squirrelparts!!!! I'm so glad to see you. You know, you're the one who taught me a whole lot of that stuff and I really really appreciate it. Everytime I've ever asked for advice from you, it's been right on target.

Hi Sandy, wow, I'm glad you like my blog and thanks for linking me. :-) I like that "HALT" thing. For me it's usually the H and T too.
