i read this article in one of my fav mags ~ Real Simple.
it got me thinking & made me realise, i am just like the author of the article, Helen Schulman.
i count, nearly everything.
- when it's about money, everything has to be exact, right to the sen, unless you tell me otherwise (round it up).
- increasing or lowering the volume of the radio or tv, i'd always choose an even number ~ 8, 10, 12, 22, 32 etc.
- i'd sum up license plates to know if they add up to 8 which Chinese believe to bring good luck. why i bother, i don't know!
- i count days to my ovulation date and days to my next period.
... to list a few.
Schulman's right. i have to stop counting to have a life. it is stressful.
can i do it? i hope so. i will try.
maybe i should stop counting the hour before i go to bed and get up for sahur ... that's a good start.
