OK....Here's a response....You have a lot of good ideas there!!...I too like to affirm the good things in my life....More like a Gratitude List....I am especially grateful that I don't allow any "friends" to use me as a doormat....I have learned to set boundaries....I have learned to stick to them when I find that others strongly push against them and attempt to harm me....I know I can protect myself from abuse on the phone.....catch this....by hanging up!!! A few years ago I was taught this and at the time it was a novel idea to me!!! But in the last few years I have done this and it's a great change for me!!!! ALL CHANGE IS NOT BAD!!!!! It's hard to change but I've found in the end it resulted in me living a better life!!! ......ENJOYING THE PEACE
