Auditing the mind

A bit more down the track it got me thinking about where else I can begin to change my thinking habits. So I decided I would do an audit of my mind and see what turned up. The first thing I did first was to tap into the unbridled perception of those closest to me. I can tell you right now...this is not for the faint hearted nor emotionally defensive people. It is critical that you ask and have not expectations of what they will say, nor react in any way to what is being said. Just listen, take notes and then when it is all finished thank them genuinely for their time and forwardness, buy them lunch and change subject during it. Ask them if they would be prepared to do it again in 6 months. Here's what you want to know. What would you say are the defining characteristics of my personality What 3 major things would I gain an advantage from by changing. What are are my 3 worst habits or behaviours. If you could add 3 qualities to me to make me a better man/woman what would they be. What can I do to improve my relationship with you. If you could change the outcome of any situation in my reality what would you change There are probably more, so any suggestions would be great. But at least this will get a open conversation going. always helping out too much never saying no what else is wrong with me? I am in debt I am over excited sometimes I procrastinate on things I know longer see as relevant, but they still need to be done I am over optimistic even in the face of apparent failure or realistic situation.
