Reality therapy

Again, this week of Communicating and Inteviewing Techniques class is very personal. I just had to create a reality-therapy contract. I could have just BS'd the assignment, but I didn't want to get a low grade so I can make sure I pass the class. Normally, this would not be an issue, but I didn't do the assignments in week 2, so I'm running out of room to mess up these last assignments. It does feel good to not have to really be accountable to someone for my dumb grade. Just myself. And I think I have now become fine with not getting an A on every single thing. Anway, I chose for my "goal" of the contract to be exercising and losing weight. Just great...I then had to explain what I should be doing in order to acheive this goal and talk about the consequences of doing and not doing things. I can see why the technique would work. You can't kid yourself and you have to be clear about the natural consequences of doing things. But again, I don't want to tell all this to my teacher! Weird. Oh well...assignment is over and I'll live....again.
