In April 2006, O still published the “Something to Think About” questions, so I’ll keep doing them, simply because they do force me to examine myself, no matter if I like it or not.

“How much time and money do  you spend each week on your appearance?  Is it more than you spend on your inner [...]

I’m not really keyed up with the four “Something to Think About” questions this month–I tend to whine a bit about the questions, but I think I’m getting a handle on defining success for me (being OK with my definition is taking a little bit of work, as is fulfilling my ambition, but that will [...]

It’s a nice, short, 2-question “Something to Think About” in the self-esteem issue (vol. 2 iss. 3), which is nice because I don’t think my self-esteem could handle a bunch of questions.  Let’s get to it:

I don’t want to do the “Something to Think About” questions.  I’m tired of them.  Only four issues in, and I’m tired of the constant self-examination.  Though, now that I look at these, I suppose they aren’t too bad:

“Think of the person you trust the most.  How has he or she earned your confidence?”  Well, [...]

Is it bad that I’m relieved there are only two questions in the “Something to Think About” feature this issue?  In terms of this month’s theme, the power of thought, I’m not having an easy time.  The other day was rough for me–lots of negative thoughts about being able to write, being able to get [...]

Ugh. The question page is here again. I still have no desire to face my feelings and work toward a better life. I kind of wonder if that will change as time goes on. Anyway, I’ll give it a shot.

Recall a time when you felt an intense emotion, such as anger [...]

One of the features that sets O apart from other magazines is the personal “workbook” sheet that has questions for you to ponder in creating your best life.  This is not the stuff I go for, but OK, I’ll do them.  I won’t like it though!
