How I did it
How to get over him
It took me
3 years
It made me
Complacent

How I did it: I guess when I introduced myself to a whole new sea of fish I realised that he couldnt possibly be the only guy in the world for me.He was actually pretty horrible to me and I deserved more and while hes getting on with his life without a second thought for me, Ive moved on and got over him anyway!

How to stop waking up at 4 am every day
It took me
2 years
It made me
Wake up!

How I did it: I dont think it is something I can say I consciously achieved... Even going to bed extra late used to result in me waking up at four. Sometimes Id be awake till morning, other times Id drift back off.I guess sometimes it helped to put on a movie or the TV if I felt that there were issues or worries affecting my sleep. Other times music helped and sometimes Id lay there thinking till sleep got me again.But gradually, almost unnoticeably- 4… Read how I did it…

How to get a CAD certificate
It took me
6 months
It made me
Successful

How I did it: I went to college where they offered the official City and Guilds Level 3 certificates for 2D and 3D CAD.The course was only one day a week so we got copies of the AutoCAD software to practice and practice and practice on at home!Most of the work consisted of assignments, which had to be completed in set times and at the end of it all we had multiple choice tests.Which I passed... with distinctions!!

rely on noone but myself (read all 3 entries…)
Dissertation

My mood is a bit iffy so I thought I’d attempt to feel a little more positive by concentrating on an achievement…

I was a bit panicked during the week, I felt I fallen off track with my essay and had missed deadlines and tutorials so after focussing on writing and researching for the past week I managed to get 7000 words down! Go me!

At the end of the day, I knew that it wouldnt get done unless I put my mind to it and made a start and now Im not only on track, I actually feel better.

love myself (read all 6 entries…)
Seriously

Im going to focus on this goal… till my self esteem improves. Im sure its achievable cause right now I feel its holding me back from so many other things.

Accomplishment. Happiness. Love.

Any negativity from anyone just manifests itself. If I feel like Ive failed at one thing, I feel like a failure in everything.

I need to start being my own best friend. I spend so much time trying to help others feel positive about themselves… its like my own happiness gets drained. Then I spend weeks trying to reestablish my own again- its time to distance myself from these people and people who only want to put me down.

I guess I might be in denial a little bit about just how bad this is and something needs to change. Soon.

I am number one. I am the most important person in my life and I need to start acting like it. No more negativity… Its a wonder how much of an impact positive thinking can have. You mind is such a powerful influence.

Fall in love (read all 27 entries…)
The V word...

So its Valentines Day… A big, red, heart shaped reminder that I’m still single. What makes it sting that little bit more is that on a couple occasions when I’ve spoken on the phone to a guy (met online but havent met) I quite like, he has brought it up. How he’s sending me a card (he doesn’t have my address)... Asking me what my plans are… and now the day is here and we haven’t spoken at all.

Anyway I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up… Well, I don’t even know what I was expecting.
