kyburgI'm fat, tired and it's all your fault!
Ahem. The title of the book is Positive Energy : 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love. Subtitled?
SCRAPE 'EM OFF.
Um.
Everybody is difficult for someone at some time. Trust me on this. The knack is knowing how to handle difficult people - and the sooner you learn that skill, the better. Ducking the opportunities to do this? Reprehensible and short-sighted. You're going to be one of those "energy vampires" someday - and once everyone has been trained to avoid you, then what?
What comes around, goes around.
Do your best.
Clean up your own messes.
Be aware of your impact on others.
And treat people as you would have them treat you.
And, oh. Remember that the only person you can influence is you. You get very tired trying to manage other people's stuff. Quit it. And don't hesistate to be honest when you don't really want to discuss someone else's gossip with them, okay? That's cool.
REALLY.
Oh, and eDiets? For putting this in my email box? Die.
