What if eveyone has a secret?
Thought du jour from one of our newspapers courtesy of Steven Hayes, author of Get of of Your Mind and Into Your Life:
"Each of us compares our insides to others' outsides... But what if everyone has a secret? And what if the joke is that we all have the same one? The plain fact is that almost all people are in pain somewhere in their lives much of the time. It is hard to be fully human. Almost all of us struggle and suffer, and we all find that so called easy methods of feeling good bear little relationship to living a meanifngul valued, vital life."
I'd love to hear people's take on this little gem.
This has proven to be another hard (no, EXCRUTIATING) week (OMG I hate my job) but I've gotten through it workout to workout. I don't think that I can start running again but I'm doing lots of brisk walking and my swimming is really progressing. I've done 2400 metres in the pool over 3 days, and a little at a time, my freestyle lengths are feeling a bit easier.
No matter what's going on in my life - it can't get me while I'm in the pool or on my treadmill!
Somehow, I'm still not smoking and doing as well as can be expected food wise.

Great job on the swim!!! Working out helps keep me SANE. I don't know what I could do if I couldn't work out somehow. Swimming is kind of calming, I think, in a way...somethin' about the water!
So I am not a country fan but what a cute video and good Lord Reba still looks good!
workout to workout I like that! Running is my self medication I think.
So glad you are sticking to your guns on the smoking!
Way to go Scott. You rock. I'm very impressed that you can stay disciplined not smoking. Keep it up man.
Nice job with the cross-training. And I am in the same boat with my job. HATE IT!
With respect to secrets - I saw this news story on this guy that you can tell your secret to anonymously--you write in on a postcard, and mail it to him. I think he has a book, or something. I wish I could remember his name.
I think the one of the most startling secrets they showed said something like "he's in jail for something I did. Nine more years." Whoa. Now THAT'S a secret!!!
I think a lot of us have the same secret, like hating our jobs or thinking we're just not good enough.
Great job with the workouts and NOT smoking! You're having an awesome year!
