Then you can go back maybe once a month or even sooner, take out the papers, and see how things have changed. I struggle with patience the most, because as a good little alcoholic knows, I want what I want and I want it NOW. I seek instant gratification and never receive it. It seems my gifts come to me when I am least expecting them, and usually when I am stressing over something else.
I LOVE this idea and boy, do I struggle with the lack of control anxiety too! I thank you many times over for this suggestion and I too, am going to try this starting today.
