So my friend D., the former psychologist, told me of an exercise he used to give his patients. Keep a list of all negative thoughts for one day, 24 hours. And then come back. With that assignment, I hereby pull down my pants for the world:

I hate my voice, I sound like a baby

I’m a terrible listener, I just want to watch LOST, and I have to hang up the phone during a friendly conversation

I’m going to die

I’m wasting away

I have chin hairs which I can never catch altogether

I’m a terrible mother

I better stop putting one negative thought per line because this post will take up my entire alloted space on wordpress ..

seriously, one hour of negative thought about ME could be a 3 volume, micro font set

so does 24 hours of negative thoughts mean you have to record the negative thoughts that come to you in dreams? because if not, we are talking only 16 Hours of Negative Thoughts.

But I can easily list the negative thoughts that come in dreams. No problemo.

I’m an idiot talking to myself on the blog.

IT IS TEN SEVENTEEN PM AND I AM GOING TO STOP BUT I’LL RETURN WITH EVERY NEGATIVE THOUGHT BETWEEN NOW AND 5 PM MANANA.

I’ll never catch up on LOST because I’m too stoned to even watch it in real time

I’m too tired to be stoned

Stoned? What am I? From the 70’s???

Yes.

Okay, this is maddening …. MUST…… STOP…..

Jesus…. no wonder people gave up on this exercise…..  there’s no way.
