Re: [Harp-L] Re: Bending at the back of the throat

Iceman, in theory, I agree with you about using positive language.  But I 
don't see that the term "to force yourself" as negative. I see effort and 
work  as a good thing because it brings fast results.

"exploring the new world of TB" would not work for me for TBing as TBing 
requires substancial effort and
unless I forced myself to do it all the time I would just fiddle with it for 
a while and eventually wander to something else. To me forcing means "no 
more procrastination". It means it is my primary goal.

.02 Canadian cents,

Pierre.
