I think I turned a corner in this transition. Yay!

Interesting approach, Jennifer!
I do think our minds (and possibly the Universe) respond well to our stating and/or thinking in the positive, just as you have pointed out. For example focusing on what we do want, rather than focusing on what we do not want.
In sports psychology, a very similar approach is often taught. Bicyclists, for example, are told to NOT focus on the pot holes ahead of them, as doing so will bring them into the pot holes. Focus, instead, on where they DO want to go!
And so, you have given me a very helpful reminder today. I sometimes forget. I need to be mindful of my thinking and I must stay focused upon what I DO want.
Thanks so much, Jennifer!
