Today in my counseling session we discussed my inability to write my 8 paragraphs on mothers and the social support provided by their adult children.

As it turns out, I am not not only slightly afraid of failure, but also living up to the work I've turned in recently. If I avoid the work, I'll never disappoint myself or my major professor.

So I decided to write out some daily affirmations regarding the strength of my writing now (as opposed to my writing 2 years ago) and I am supposed to place the list at eye level at all times to prevent me from using negative self-thoughts to motivate myselfm. (This was my idea.)

Tonight I prepared almost 70% of everything I will need to tackle the paragraphs. I have 4 articles to read yet, and I need more information on history of support...but then I should be good to go.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.
