I'm doing 43 things
This is one of the harder goals that I have set for myself to accomplish because being still is a vague concept. Does it mean just literally the act of your body being still? Maybe it involves your mind being completely still, as in meditation. For me, it was a combination of the two. To be still, I would set aside time, ranging from 5 minutes to a few hours just to be still, or in effect just to “be”. I would start by having my body be still, either lying down or sitting. Then I would try to clear my mind of all the stresses of the day and just go from there. I would let my mind wander over any thoughts, worries, frustrations, and also little joys that might be locked inside. I also in the process taught myself to fidget less, both mentally and physically. All in all, it has helped me focus more and was a very worthwhile goal.

i fell in love with a guy i worked with. as i am normally the shy type, as was he, i didn’t think it could ever work out. thank god for alcohol and christmas parties. i got the guts to kiss him and tell him how i felt, and we’ve been together ever since. he proposed on our three year anniversary and we’re getting married next year!
work is what it is…as my dad always says, it’s work, it’s not meant to be fun. right now i am a customer service representative. do i love it? no. is it worth it? yes. it pays the bills and it’s a step in the right direction. my job may not be the perfect one for me, but i feel lucky to be working in a job that on most days leaves me feeling like i’m doing something positive with my life.
