One, I think about it constantly. Two, I don't want any other kind. So I guess that's good - I don't want cold KK doughnuts at the office or from the grocery store or any other brand. Its just bad that I keep thinking of reasons by pass the KK on my way home from wherever.<BR/><BR/>Did I tell you guys about my incident about the doughnuts and the guy at the Wendy's drive thru? :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway...mental toughness is important too. They say that doing something like saying "I AM a writer" with conviction, over and over, can have a positive impact on your world - maybe even get you published. I feel silly doing or saying things like that and yet - here I am, unpublished. Negative ninny.<BR/><BR/>SPAndrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1139324569178395672006-02-07T09:02:00.000-06:002006-02-07T09:02:00.000-06:00Great topic!

I've heard several authors talk about saying positive affirmations daily or posting little cards with positive sayings around the house or their office. <BR/><BR/>There's also the way you say things that can lead to "stinking thinking." For example, I try not to say "I can't plot very well." Instead I say "I don't know how to plot very well YET." That lets my brain hear that it's a possibility.<BR/><BR/>A great novel about positive affirmation is "The Twelfth Angel" by Og Mandino. But be sure to have a hanky ready.<BR/><BR/>Now... we've discussed business. Can we have Krispy Kreme donuts for dessert? *g*Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1139323765831453062006-02-07T08:49:00.000-06:002006-02-07T08:49:00.000-06:00Oooh, I could use some mental toughness.
