Last Week's and This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Describe the perfect relationship.  How would your lives intersect?  What would you do together?  What would you still do separately?  What parts of your days would be shared?  What common goals would you have?

This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Is there a situation where you don't seem to have enough willpower - a situation where you can't seem to stop yourself from doing what you don't really want to do?  For example, getting angry in a certain situation you would prefer to stay calm in, getting involved in office gossip when you said you wouldn't, or eating something you later regret.  In what situations do you tend to cave in and do some of the things you don't really want to do or know you shouldn't?  Plan ahead.  How can you stay away from these situations or make these situations easier for yourself?  What sets you up for failure?  What sets you up for success?

This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Write down what you are willing to do to win?  Think of competitions you've been in in the past.  In the past, how far have you been willing to go to win?  Where do you usually draw the line?  Why?  In what areas of your life is competition helpful?  In what areas of your life is competition harmful?
