One, People Like Me

Was working out today.  Counting my reps- one, Mississippi, two Mississippi- when I realized- there are so many things I need to tell myself.  Why waste breath on Mississippi?  Why not tell myself every chance I get the thing that I need to hear most- "People Like Me."  I need to finally convince myself of this.  I had grown so complacent- just accepted that this antisocial personality was my lot in life, that nothing could ever change me.  My husband was the outgoing one, he was the one who would speak for me.  I won't accept that anymore.  People have always told me to look in the mirror and say something positive.  But that just seemed so silly!  And I knew it wouldn't work anyways- this was just the way I was.  Not anymore.  I will say something every time I see my reflection anywhere- car window, anything- and out loud if at all possible.  And I will count one, people like me, two people like me, three people like me... could there be a better motivation to do more reps?  Who doesn't want more people to like them?!  I will make myself believe this.
