Should say that day I got a smiley sticker. And I'm aiming for a smiley sticker today too as I've already lost my star sticker for the day.

I wish the best for you with your mum's surgery.

So proud of you for working for the stickers. You're strong, you're staying with it, hurrah for you!

Whatever it takes, go for it!

I'm proud to say you deserve a sticker for helping me with this process!

Hahah I will go add one! If only. Ahh my sticker chart is very sparse. But I think I've collected about 5-6 stickers in two weeks. I just looked at it but I"m not sure! Once or twice I've gotten two in a row. Aiming for a sticker today!

Thanks Mid :)

I didn't get that smiley sticker yesterday, darn.

6 stickers in 2 weeks isn't that bad, it's almost a sticker every other day!
Keep trying, you can do this!! You've done it so many times before without the stickers :)

hugs!!

Sorry to hear of your mom's condition, I hope she gets the help and support she needs soon.
As for yourself, stay strong- sounds like you are doing well. Try to change a little bit of your routines in the house, this always distracts me from pulling or even thinking about it. Hugs...

Dear Sam,

I completely forgot about the motivating sticker chart. I am goingto buy some paper and start doing it again too. I;ll have to start hour by hour. yay for 6 stickers in 2 weeks. I need this motivation.

BIG HUG!!

p.s thanks for the msg on fb. xoxoxox

Thanks Nabby. She is getting the help and support she needs, my sister and I work very hard to see she always has the most up to date care. It's never enough, but I can be proud she's getting the best.

Good idea.. house thing.

No sticker today, wah!!! Or yesterday!! Mini pulling sprees both days. Tomorrow I"ll put on bandaids, I forgot today.

I have pulled one hair already this morning. Bandaids are integral to my success! Oh well. I'm positive that once I build up a few days pf in a row, it will get easier. It always does.

No sticker yesterday.

And have pulled about 6 in bed this morning. Ugh. Woke up pretty sad. My life is in an odd turning point and as terribly pathetic as it sounds, I'm a little lost. Questioning which path I should get on. I know I need to choose one soon! Or do I? Life advice please, as general as that is! This is regarding career and lifestyle, not relationships by the way.

Bleh.

Sounds like tension is high right now. This happens to me when I think too much about things ( mind clutter). Do you journal daily? This method is very helpful in sorting out your thoughts rather than in your mind. Write down the pros and cons of what you want in your career and what you want to add or change in your life. Knowing what you want and goals to look forward too is a step in the right direction. I hope you feel better soon.

No I don't journal. I write lists sometimes though. It's a good idea. I'll do it..

Thanks Nabby :)

Confident, you do not have to pick a choice, just go with the flow to see what feels most like the spark of interest to your inner spirit.

I give myself a sticker at the end of every day for the one thing I do - because it is a success. I know, we do this just for our tresses, so doing something good does help our tresses in some way.

I agree with Nabby, writing in a journal, doing lists ( I do both), just putting pen to paper or in this new technology age, finger to the pad, works to create a connection with your brain, body, and boosts your "feel good" levels.

Hugs, and you're doing wonderful!

I like your sticker for your achievements idea Mid. Very nice.

Thanks for your advice :)

I'm trying, but not very hard. I must try harder. I want to, I'm just being lazy.

Sam, it sounds like you are under stress. I am sorry about your mom -- when parents get sick, that is the worst. It's good that you are trying out the sticker system and seeing a therapist.

If it makes you feel any better, you are totally not alone. I am also at a crossroads in my life (life/career wise) and just feeling confused about things and constantly bad about myself. That's life.... all we can do is keep going forward. I think it is the natural thing that happens when you are in your mid-20s. In astrology they call it the return of Saturn (although I think that's technically the late 20s).
