As humans we know that no one is perfect. Many of us can even see the things about ourselves that we know are not perfect. That said, what is the trait that you have in either your physical being or in your personality that you would like to change about yourself?
For me, I would like to be more easy-going. I grew up in a household where my father was always stressed and that took him to an early grave. I too have the type A personality that he had and I find that I am stressed a lot of the time. Therefore, I would like to be less of a type A personality.
What about you, what do you want to change and why?

Hi Dorann. I worry wayyy too much, and that is one thing I'd love to change about myself. I've been working on it for a long time, and while I've made progress, the tendancy still exists.
I also have a hard time getting over guilt!

It's good to hear that you've made progress in the direction of not worrying too much about things. I hope that you are able to make further progress on this in the future.

I too stress out a lot. It has been affecting my health because I have gained weight. I try not stress out because of my husband's health. My husband is diabetic and we need to do everything we can to keep his blood sugar down. I watch his sugar intake very carefully, but with the stress of bills and his lack of hours at work and the lack of respect he gets at work his stress level goes up by quite a bit.

Stress is indeed a terrible thing to have to deal with in that it does adversely effect our physical as well as emotional health. And with the economy the way that it is today, it is not letting up any too quickly either.

I'm too darn easy going. Here, you can have some...
I'd like to be more comfortable speaking my mind with uncomfortable truths. Not nastily or anything, but when they need to be said. I tend to wus out.

That is something that is difficult for many people to do and I also believe it is something that many people find difficult if not impossible to change.

I wish I could change the fact that I always think I have to fix everything or make it right somehow. I always think I have to see every side of something and play the devils advocate..my husband says it's one of my greatest strengths and weaknesses.

How funny that you want to change the thing about yourself that is both a strength and a weakness. I do, however, know what you mean I'm also the kind of person that wants to make sure that everything is right.
