I can relate to both your activity 1 choices. In fact, those were mine too. I too love exercising and I feel I get in the "flow" while doing it and my 6 kids are very close to my heart also. It is so great that you are naturally doing things that positive psychology says is good for lifting our mood.
Trying to stop neg. self-talk is so hard. I also find this so true. I like your choice of words..."re-training the elephant". That is sure what it seems like when you are trying to change the way think. It sounds like it is effective.
