Case Studies
Description of a Mother:
One morning a young mother got up and
looked in the mirror. She began
concentrating on everything that was
wrong in her life. As she stared into the
mirror, this is what she concentrated upon:
She was 35 years old and had just found
her first wrinkle.
She had already plucked three gray hairs
that morning.
She gained 20 pounds after having four
children and had not been able to lose any
of the weight.
She wanted to be a stay-home mom, but
had to work to pay the bills.
She was once a tidy housekeeper until the
four children, ages three months to six
years, came along; but now her house
looked like a disaster.
She was frustrated by the commitment she
had made to do a service project which
she does not have time to fulfill.
