Things I’m actively working on now:
put passion first
love myself so I can love others
avoid hurting myself so I’m less likely to hurt others the same way
ask people about their families, friends, and pets – most people are more interested in those things than they are in themselves
answer the phone rather than letting it ring and hoping the person doesn’t bother leaving a message
ask more questions and be unashamed that I don’t already know
touch, smell, and taste things rather than just looking at them or listening to them
be more authoritative when making suggestions for clients
say what I’m thinking (including “what do you mean by that,” “no,” and “wait, you made a mistake”)
quit trying to guilt God into helping me
leave when I want to leave
do what I want whether the other person wants to join me or not
release my belly and thighs
talk about my childhood only when I know someone
stop running hot and cold/be “good and mad”
counter others’ negativity
know that I’m a beautiful woman, be okay with that, and enjoy the extra attention
share food
stop using my intelligence to cool off interactions and make myself distant
avoid gossiping/vent responsibly
Things I want to do soon:
believe I’m fully worth it (money, attention, time, whatever) as a professional and a person
believe that I can get my needs for a reasonable standard of living met, even if money is involved
stop being scared that everyone I come to love is either going to abandon me or die young
bring a gift to an event
get TW’s birthday gift to him
have more scheduled time (preferably full days) alone
have nice relationships with women
learn to soothe myself on the run
give my cat a special treat every day for a month
have more cute underwear
Things I want to do one day:
get a facial
get a pedicure
enjoy children
get a Regina dress
try a women’s group
bring enough to share
smile to myself in public without feeling strange about it
hum happily to myself in public without feeling strange about it
