It seems I always knew...

...I needed to do something, anything, to try and work out who I am, my priorities and what I wanted to achieve in life.  My bookcase is littered with self help books.

The Rules of Life

The Really Useful Book for Successful Living

Endless Energy

The Life Audit

new leaf new life

The 28-day Vitality Plan

Mind Gym - Give Me Time

Mind Gym - Wake Your Mind Up

Tony Buzan - Use Your Head

Dr Gillian McKeith's Ultimate Health Plan

BodyWise

Mind Over Body

Little Angels

Learn to Remember

Learned Optimism

The Superwoman Syndrome*

The majority of which are in pristine unread condition.  It is like the act of buying them will magically make your life better - you don't have to actually bother reading them.  Now, however, my lack of understanding of my priorities has raised it's head and slapped me right in the face.  And boy did it hurt.  Hurt in a way I never thought possible.  I thought life was rosy and I couldn't have been more wrong.  So I guess I need to start reading some of these books in case they help.  So that is the plan - To blog daily to keep my mind firmly on the task at hand and use the books as some sort of guide or inspiration. So it has been said so it shall be done (I hope).

* The Superwoman Syndrome - The book that tells you how to stop trying to 'do it all'  - This is the only book I have read - rather strange given the fact that I never had to 'do anything' let alone 'do it all'.  My Darling Husband, the LOVE OF MY LIFE**, did everything: the shopping; the cooking; looking after the children, etc, everything.  And happily, or so I was told/thought.

** Unfortunately, DH has since handed in his resignation as the LOVE OF MY LIFE :'-(((((
