About two months ago I was talking to a friend and I noticed that I said " I don't know" like three times back to back. I looked at my friend and told her I really need to stop saying that. She then told me that I also said that a few months before. She said It would be nice for me to think of something else to say... However from that point on I would catch myself saying "I don't know". Then it got to the point were I would not say it, but I would think it... over and over again. Then I would get mad at myself for feeling like I have no power over breaking this bad habit of I don't knows. Now that I think back to my past, I had always "I don't know" through my whole life. Well I am ready to Know, I am ready to stop IDKing my life away. I know once I set my mind to make something happen.. I have the power to make it happen, but often times I lose that power, that drive, and I go back to my fence of I don't knows... it is what I feel is my safe place... I realize that now it is not a healthy safe place. I am looking for a new healthy way to live... on the path of I will figure it out!

Thank you Owningpink ... The topics that are written in each blog really move me to become more positive, more driven and less of a fence sitter... each day I fight the battle of thinking to much to the point of doing nothing at all.... Today is the day I will stop thinking about things to much and saying I don't know.... Today "I will figure it out"!
I think ... we're alike in many ways Bettina. And ... this is one of them! I'm constantly saying "I don't know" ... I say it all the time ... I need to stop, too :)
