It is very confusing to separate who you are from the harsh realities of life. You can console yourself with reflections of the past. You can look at old photos to recall memories. You can cringe at some of the things you might have done. But have you considered the repetitions of past actions? Can it be we gain some satisfaction in torment? Why then do we occasionally date the same type of loser, frequent the same dives, socialize with the wrong crowds?
Self-help books, video tapes, and therapists thrive on these inequities and discuss these very issues. If you take a few psychology courses, you can dig yourself out of the predicament. However, you must be strong. You must have faith in yourself. You need to reestablish your self esteem.
Perhaps you should sell everything you have and relocate. It is very possible to be who you are inside if you are away from those who prevent you from changing. You don't have to be too drastic; perhaps you can switch towns, frequent the types of places that you want to be associated with.
Or you can make the decision to take a good, hard look at yourself and be honest. You are your own problem or salvation. Only you can make a better life for yourself. You have to love yourself first. You need to make yourself happy. Everything and everyone else should be second to you. If you don’t know how to see yourself as you truly are, how are you going to attract what should be good for you? The choice is yours.

Impulse Chopping
I recently read an article concerning the price of happiness. The article entailed that research studies show money CAN buy happiness. The big catch - purchase items that have a positive impact in your life in place of impulse shopping, which might only offer you a quick burst of satisfaction that easily fizzles out. Easy to say, considering people typically are running rampant after emotional circumstances - myself inclusive.
What about impulse chopping? By this, I mean the compulsion to surgically alter your appearance to make yourself feel better. There are countless possibilities: a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, traditional tumescent liposuction, and Smart Lipo (laser assisted liposuction) to name a few. Many companies offer financing. Some are even looking for volunteers (to gain experience prior to public marketing).
How far are we willing to go to make a change in our life? Have you ever considered a drastic change - after a divorce, losing a job, having an argument? Since I have fallen under the knife(or a cannula) on more than one occasion, I can offer you this advice:
1.Never seek a consultation or follow through with a procedure when you are depressed.
You might regret the procedure if you haven’t thought it through. If you are not feeling good about yourself or a certain situation, you should address that particular situation first.
2. Never schedule an appointment and/or follow through with a procedure when you are premenstrual.
Some women have extreme symptoms of irrationality, sensitivity and mood swings when “The Visitor” is around. Stress and age aggravate these factors. Commonly, we are in a better frame of mind afterward. On the extreme, we might take medications. Always take this into consideration prior to moving forward and to avoid the possibility of making a rash decision.
3. Never consider a procedure to spite your ex.
Recently separated? Divorced? Feeling betrayed? Those are three good reasons to stay away from the knife. Chances are he or she wasn’t worth it. You are better off without the additional pains/stress/duress. Extreme change is not the “cure all.”
4.Educate yourself and Ask Questions.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Ask them how they intend to perform the surgery. What are the possible side effects? Will there be pain? How do I tend the incision/stitch site? What type of machinery/surgical equipment will be used to perform the procedure? Will there be a laser contributing to the procedure? Will the laser be used internally or as a burning tool? How many procedures did the physician perform? What are his/her background qualifications/credentials? Does the physician have hospital privileges? - if the procedure is to be performed in-office, you should know if the physician is able to perform the same procedure in a hospital. Check with the hospital’s medical staff office to verify.
