Thanks for this post! The ovarian cancer post is so important!
As for satisficer versus maximizer, I am a mix of both..Ok..who am I kidding, I am a maximizer-especially when it comes to buying stuff like cosmetics, bath and body stuff etc.. No actually I do think I may be a satisficer too- as once products meet my (high) standards, I do buy them. But that doesn't stop me from doing more research. The funny thing is, the research usually ends in me wanted to DIY. Like when I started getting interested in perfume- within a few months I wanted to make my own and bought a bunch of essential oils and absolutes. Same for creams etc.
LOL..I can't believe I just wrote down all that..
i didn't sign up for 'the joy diet' right away even though i had a blast with the 'wreck this journal.' i thought with my massage therapy classes coming up that i might be trying to take on too much. but then i thought, there is no way i can miss out on all of the fun!! can't wait for it to start! so glad you are joining in this time.
I am so excited for the book club to start, CGL.
I learned a great deal about myself when I did "The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women."
Reading The Joy Diet, though, has greatly impacted me already…doing the exercises helped me reach my recent difficult decision
Great links, and how great on The Joy Diet! Keep us posted đŸ˜€
P.S. Thanks for the link love!
Love this list. I also found out I'm a satisficer, too.
