Thanks for the reminder. I had the words "dream big" engraved on the back of my iPod to remind me that big dreams are the ones that make me excited, bold plans are the ones that attract people and that if I don't try something big and bold, I'll never really know what I can do.

I am not writing a dissertation (especially chapter 4 and 5), I am just writing an email to a friend to let them know about my results and then discuss my ideas about why it turned out that way.

]]> Comment on What Boosts Your Energy? Especially for Introverts by Cheryl Hecht http://justwhelmedblog.com/what-boosts-your-energy-especially-for-introverts/#comment-23 Cheryl Hecht Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:10:28 +0000 http://justwhelmedblog.com/?p=274#comment-23 Okay, I'm on a roll. Last summer, our daughter attended a "track and field" camp at the University of Idaho, Pocatello, ID. I was scared to death to leave her even though she was 14. I could tell she was anxious, as well (she gets quiet and a bit snippy). The time of the whole group introduction was approaching and I asked her if she wanted me to leave or walk with her. She wanted me to walk with her. A few steps later when we could see down into the common room, she whispers over to me, "You can go now." She had hit her, "this is okay" zone. If I didn't know what I do about introverts, I might have pushed her to go on her own or let her snippiness get to me. But I know those are just her "I'm worried" behaviors. By the way, she had a blast at the camp! Okay, I’m on a roll. Last summer, our daughter attended a “track and field” camp at the University of Idaho, Pocatello, ID.

They are not shy and spend lots of time with friends and doing activities away from home. Because I've learned so much about being an introvert, I am able to encourage them when an activity is outside their comfort zone or get them to slow down when they have put out too much energy.

]]> Comment on Feeling Overwhelmed? Eliminate the Phrase *Get Caught Up* From Your Vocabulary by Catherine Wehlburg http://justwhelmedblog.com/feeling-overwhelmed-eliminate-the-phrase-get-caught-up-from-your-vocabulary/#comment-21 Catherine Wehlburg Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:25:53 +0000 http://justwhelmedblog.com/?p=504#comment-21 But I _do_ want to get caught up!! I remember (vaguely) what that feels like -- and it feels good! It's like what it feels like at the end of the semester -- grades are in (so no grading left) and I can clear off my desk and be done! Of course, in the Fall semester that means Christmas shopping and decorating are still left -- but they could be done and I could be "caught up"! Maybe I'm just an optimist... :-) But I _do_ want to get caught up!! I remember (vaguely) what that feels like — and it feels good!

Asking for what you need...super smart and really models for your children regardless of whether they are introverts or extroverts. And which is it with them? :) Note: I'm not sure why it's showing me as responding as my assistant, but it's really me :) Must need to fix a setting on here. HA! Always something to learn.
