How I did it: I checked the websites with job openings at least one time a week. I sent out a lot of applications to very different positions to increase my chances to finally find my dream job. And although I got rejections most of the times I tried to motivate my self to never give up. And the last and most important point I think is I started a further training program in the field I'm most interested in. And after two years (haha) It finally worked… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had the luck to have a very good and attentive doctor. She was very patient with me during the different phases of my depression and a big help. And she suggested a therapy in a clinic. This time was the most interesting and hardest time of my life. It was getting better and better after I returned to my old life. I learned to trust in myself and in others more, to care for my self. And that work alone will not make me happy. And that a… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I made an appointment with my ex-Professor and we had a good talk. She didn't notice the bad atmosphere in the group and that the "boss" and his wife were bullying me over months. The prof was a little bit too self involved, I guess. I took all of my stuff out of the office and the lab on a day I knew the "boss" and his wife wasn't around. It is always helpful to have still contact to some of my ex colleagues =) I heard the happy cou… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started to prepare my presentation and my answers a week ago. It was important for me to have the feeling of having plenty of time. And this time I read something about the research of the group. Last time I forgot most of the stuff and the interview didn't end well. Read how I did it…
How I did it: As a woman I found it always difficult to find a repair shop where you can trust the mechanics. So I was looking for a repair shop where I don't have the feeling that they will bamboozle me. I took the one where my mothers is giving her car to. And it was very uncomplicated. The mechanics like my mother and therefore they were very friendly (and of course for some extra money =). I brought my car with an expectation for an expensive … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I really spend a lot of time and energy in the preparation of the presentation. I think it is important to have enough time for the preparation, so already I started 2 weeks ago. And I practiced the talk several times so I knew which slide is coming next and that I stay in time. It worked very well. I was nervous of course, but everybody was that, I think. The best thing of all - a lot of people came to me after my talk to speak with me. … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the chance to paint my new appartment when it wasn't furnished. This was the reason I never did that in my old place. I didn't want to move everything around. And I went to a building center to let them mix the right colours for me. And this was a great idea. I got exactly the result what I had in mind. Now I have a light green wall in the bed room and a milk coffee coloured wall in my living room. And I'm glad to see it every day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was bored by the meals I cooked normally. So I started to read the vegetarian parts of my cookbooks which I ignored so long. I found everything so interesting, the new ingredients and the new taste. I'm still eating meat and fish, of course but these vegetarian meals are a really good alternative. Next step is to cook a vegetarian meal for my boyfriend ;) Read how I did it…
How I did it: Fearless was my word for 2009. And it really helped me a lot in so much situations where I was afraid or nervious. I will have a word for 2010, too. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I joined a weekend tennis workshop to test is it a sport for me. And I loved to play tennis from the first minute. Now I'm playing tennis for half a year and I'm getting better. I can already play with my friend but we do not count. For that I'm not good enough yet but I'm working on that. I want to continue with the tennis training and lessons in my new town. I hope I will find a good trainer again. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got my first article published, finally. But it was a not a piece of cake... I took me almost three years all together and I needed a lot of valerian. My boss is a real chaotic guy. It was almost impossible to get a date with him and get him in a concentrated mood. And he never, never worked on the paper by his own. So I had to sit next to him and read all of my text again and again, very frustating. I cannot count the weekends I spende… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Yes, it took them 3 months to complete my contract. But two weeks ago I signed it, finally. puh! And a really good thing: Its for the mext three years. My last contracts were only about a few months. That makes it easier to organize my life. And it is possible to go to maternity leave, the time will be added to the three years =) babies? nice idea, have to think about it =) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the internet to find the appartment. And I had a lot of luck, I have to say. There were not many candidates for the appartment because of a writing error in the description of the flat. In the heading was said it is in the attic but in the detailed description its on the first floor, so it was a little bit confusing. And a lot of people dont want to live in an appartment in the first floor, I think. I contacted the agent, visit the… Read how I did it…
How I did it: At the beginning of the year I was a very motivated Nordic Walker but after a couple of months I was bored walking the same rounds in the park again and again. So I started to walk more in my daily routine meaning I wakled instead of using my bike or the car to get to my dates or to the supermarket. Puh, I'm glad I'm finishing this goal now. in the end it was a little bit difficult to find the extra time for walking. But I made =) hihi Read how I did it…

How I did it: A friend made me so nervous about them that I finally wanted to let them checked from a dermatologist. The longest part here was to get an appointment - it took 2 months. wow. And I had to pay for it, my insurance is paying only when you are older than 35. But it was totally worth it. Everything is fine with me, my moles are only moles, juhu! I'm so glad that I made it... =) Read how I did it…
How I did it: The beginning of the summer was the perfect reason to sort out my clothes. and I found really nice ones which I already forgot to have. I accepted that I'll never fit in some of my T-shirts again - and gave them away. And I spended some money to buy some new clothes. And this time these are more colorful as usally. Normally I'm only wearing black and dark colors. My new ones are lighter and I'm feeling better. :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was really, realy great - even if my hand is hurting after all of the tennis training :) We were in a hotel which was specialized to tennis and sport. We had 3 very sporty days. I learned a lot and got some routine in my forehand. And I didn't argue with my boyfriend about playing :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm so happy the open air season is coming now. I saw some bands I really like but I didn't go to every possible concert because the tickets are soo expensive. They cost from 40 to 80 Euro puh! I don't know what the prices are in the US for concert tickets but for me it is quite much money and I had to pick out only a few bands... But it was worth it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Yes it took me almost two months to get my self sitting on my desk and doing it. And when you started once its done in a few hours. But every time I found excuses to not do them. Now I hope I'll get some money back =) keep the fingers crossed for me =) Read how I did it…
