I am developing better muscle tone with a daily balance ball workout. I'm also cutting down radically on sweets because they make me incredibly hyper and she has invited me to handle it or be handled. ~smiling~ The third thing I'm working on may sound odd. When we are in conversation I will sometimes stop in midsentence because I realize that I'm about to say something I'd rather not (revealing something that I think is embarassing or shameful, or else saying something without thinking that isn't properly thought out, maybe not entirely respectful). Her response to this is invariably one word, "Speak." She absolutely has the right to hear the thoughts, and while I get flustered, I do as asked immediately. In addition, I am working on finishing the thought when it first occurs to me that I don't want to so that she doesn't have to ask. She will correct me or not as she feels is appropriate. However, fixing this is also very much for me. I need to do this to lose the fear of revealing myself fully, to realize that I am always acceptable, even when my behavior requires change.
