You seem to have this great knack of asking questions I've been 
thinking about myself - good stuff. 

Thanks for the reply too Rawn.

the traits...even more, I wasn´t diferentiating between roots and 
traits. So now I´m trying a new approach. I´m taking the first set of 
words and trying to remember situations that apply to them. Once I do 
this, once I feel like I did in every specific situation is easier to 
meditate about the roots.

I can say for example that for 50% of the traits, the roort is "self-
doubt" or "beeing insecure about myself". These roots apply to 
numerous situations!! So I´m thinking that I will never get to the 
100 items. There are other roots that diverge in more traits and so 
on, but no so many as I need :-).
