My doctors are asking me to be more positive in my thoughts and attitude about life no matter my physical condition my body is undergoing in my recovery. They recommend positive shows, advise, and all true experiences I can tune in to and see what many other people are coping with in their lives.

Dr Phil's shows this week does just that, so I am posting the schedule here just to remind anyone who care to tune in if you got nothing better to do on these days or if you may be bored of the same old stuff and no positive outlook ahead.

The 237 Reasons Why Women Have Sex

"I wanted to make someone jealous." "I was bored." "I wanted to feel closer to God." These are just a few of the 237 reasons why women say they have sex. In her new book, Why Women Have Sex, Dr. Cindy Meston lists the good, bad, silly and shocking reasons that women do the deed. She and Dr. Jennifer Berman, a sexual health expert, join Dr. Phil to talk about women and sex, and offer advice to couples with differing libidos. To get an idea of how women feel about having sex, Dr. Phil sends comedienne Kathleen Madigan to talk to women on the street. You may be surprised by the reasons some women get intimate. Next, meet Maribel and Jeff. Maribel says the number one reason she has sex is because she likes it. She's gone to great lengths, from dressing sexy to undergoing surgery, to engage her husband, but he's just not interested. Jeff says he resists because he's worried he may be at risk for another heart attack. But is there another reason why he refuses to make love to his wife? Then, Deanna says she only wants sex one way, but her husband Robert complains he's bored with the routine. What do they need to do to come together in the bedroom? And find out the top five reasons women have sex and how they compare to men's reasons.

What No One Wants to Admit

How do you really feel about the black person who is standing next to you on the elevator? What really goes through your mind when you pass an Asian person in the grocery store? Dr. Phil tackles hidden racial biases, and he has help from a panel of experts: comedians Paul Mooney, Kate Rigg and Manny Maldonado, civil and family attorney Areva Martin, USC professor of sociology Amon Emeka and radio host Michael Graham. The group busts racial stereotypes at their core and addresses the subtle attacks many feel have been launched against President Obama. Don't miss this no-holds barred discussion!

Now Thursday's show is sure to catch the attention of many women and men too. You know how the world view SEX? No matter the struggles in our lives there is a positive attitude we can get to help us through life. Everything is not sad, only if we can't let go!

If you tune in I'd like to know if you feel a show helped you with your positive thoughts??? This is part of my therapy in how other people relate in any given situation and how it affects them. You all know how we felt after having our strokes but we are not alone in the fight for a better attitude.
