I am sometimes a negative person, when i have problems there comes a point im thinking that it will be very difficult for me to solve it alone. yes, sometimes laziness, the Monday sickness, your mind is still on vacation and you don't want to go to work at Monday.

Maybe my beeing overly jealous about things, i always want the attention of the people around me. Also i doubt alot specially when it comes to love because i've been cheated before and it really hurt me. Maybe now im trying not to doubt and just love =D

The negative habits I would love to change the most are my procrastination in my housework and my emotional eating. I will wait forever to do any housework. I make excuses. I wait until someone is due to arrive. I hate housework. My emotional eating is mainly boredom eating. Hey, maybe if I clean the house I wouldn't be bored. LOL

Same here. I am also lazy on weekends. I just want to relax without doing any household chores but stay surfing the Internet. I always think it is a waste of time to do that. I know this is absolutely wrong. I always do things until the last moment, which is no good at all. I will also try my best to do things with initiative. Thanks for your topic, friend.

The negative traits that I want to change are being envious to my friends who are successful, do not want to be corrected, and my temper.

Negative traits I would want to change ... 1) Procrastination - I procrastinate a lot! Whether it's work, house work, doing badges on pogo.com, anything. And I know this only causes me stress in the end. 2) Dependency - I've become too dependent on others to do things for me, especially my husband. This might also be called complacancy. 3) Indecisive - I have trouble making decisions. Pretty self-explanatory. 4) Anti-social - offline ... I live in a community of people that I have nothing in common with and it's caused me to withdraw and I've also become impatient with people, when out at the store or such.

I want to be more active all the time. I want to spend my time usefully to myself and for others. I feel like giving up after trying one or two times, which i want to change myself by improving by self confidence

I wish I could lose this last 20 pounds, I wish I would procrastinate so much, I wish I had stronger will power and could quit smoking, I wish I didn't get frustrated so easily, I wish I wasn't such a pessimist.

I feel that life is about challenge and my biggest challenge is to keep the mind still and focused on the present moment. This does not mean that I don't have any wishes or desires, but there is no point in having them go around and around in my mind. I use discipline to always keep promises and commitments I make with myself and others. That is what is most important to me, because if a promise gets broken, the mind gets agitated (sometimes subconsciously) because in breaking the promise I would be saying one thing and doing another and the mind would be in conflict. Obviously I need to see what results I want and then commit to doing what is necessary to get those results. They could be a clean back yard or a certain amount of money in the bank, all things are the same anyway, only the mind makes them different. Keeping promises and staying committed is showing that I care for myself and others I come into contact with. I have written an article on commitment that explains further, for anyone who is interested, here's the link - http://ayrehypnotherapy.com/CommitPower.html

I hate house keeping and I tend to let things pile up. I need to sweep and mop my floors and do the dishes. I have piles of mail to go through. Most of the mail is trash I need to swread. I hate mail! I wish I would not over eat and could stick to my diet so I would lose more weight. I have lost 88lbs but have 80 more to go.

I think I hate paranoia. I am paranoid that someone else might be doing bad or thinking bad against me. Most of the time I blame the environment and my experience before. Someone snatched the bad of my mother while were walking in the street not far from our house going to pay our bills like 3 years ago. I think it caused me so much to be paranoid everywhere I go. Just to anyone too. In order to stop it at the back of my mind I try to pray. I want to trust anyone, so my prayers are basically to keep me away from the evil.

Negative traits eh? hahaha LOL! i have heaps that i would like to change..... I am so lazy nowadays, just myLotting and not doing any school work, i can never concentrate for more than 5minutes, after a few minutes of work, i find myself on myLot browsing for some discussions to respond to, because myLot is just so addictive! Another thing i would like to change is that diabetes runs in my family.... my Grandma has it, my other grandma has it, one grandfather has it, my dad has it, all my aunts have it..... so you tell me, what are the chances of ME getting diabetes? I really wish i could change that fact, but i guess i will just see how it goes.. Sometimes i can also be selfish, which i would like to change so that i can share things more often.... Thank You for listening to me babling on and on.... =D

The one thing I would like to change about myself is my negative thinking.I try very hard to stay positive bt there are times when I feel like I am swimming in a sea of negativity.I would like to change that thing because I donot want to be negative all the time.

yeah to a certain degree,.. it affects me.. The short temper which i used to have has played truants. Some say, just as i have high blood pressure, the short temper might be due to it.. But i dont know, if they are correct or not.Any how it proves to a escapism clause for me.. lol:)

I would like to change my stubborness and pride (most people think its a puertorican trait that carries this), however I will try my best to be less stubborn in situations.
