Well, we're a month in to my little "love myself and other people" project. The fingernails are looking good. They have a
shiny coat of sparkly teal nail polish and 8 out 10 are long and
beautiful. I've had only 1 cigarette since Dec 29th. I've gone to 6
salsa dancing classes and mediated 3 times (I really need to get a book
or something because I honestly have no idea what I'm doing). And I've been
pretty consistent with writing this blog.
On
the flip side, I've gained 2 pounds, am still feeling like I have no
idea what I'm doing with my career. And that credit card? Well, it's
only been a month, so unless I had won the lottery, there really wasn't a whole lot that could have happened there. But I did start a 401k which feels like
something very important and adult.
So I'm feeling pretty good about
the direction in which I'm moving. February is going to be a
sober month for me (like how I picked the shortest month?!) so I'm sure
that will help with those 20lbs and the money thing.
It feels like I'm making progress. Life is good, my friends!
Way to go on the salsa dancing! I hope it's been fun. I've always been in the two left feet camp.
ReplyDeleteYou might consider some kind of audio to get started with meditation. It's probably a lot easier to be mindful of your breathing, etc if you can just close your eyes and listen to someone.
Credit cards are tricky things and can take a long time to work on. I think it's one of those things where if you're just consistent, you'll get there slow and steady. Like driving in snow.
Speaking of consistent, I remember reading somewhere that it takes 6 weeks to make something a habit, so as far as maintaining the blog goes, you're nearly there.
Life IS good.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I need it. I am happy to hear from you and thank you for reading! I hope you have a love-filled February!!!
