How I did it
How to start seeing a therapist
It took me
6 days
It made me
more sane

How I did it: I told my mom I needed to start seeing someone, and after she witnessed one of my uninhibited breakdowns, she got right on top of calling around for therapists in my area. So my mom for the therapists, all I had to do was set up an appointment. It was scary the first time, not knowing how to really do the whole process. Read how I did it…

How to be happy with my body
It made me
right

How I did it: What I found was the less I worried about my body, the better it looked, the more weight I lost, my skin cleared. Another thing that I think has helped is adopting a vegan lifestyle. I just feel a lot cleaner. And while I'm still trying to cut back on sugar intake, removal of the cholesterol and fat of animal products/byproducts has made me feel more confident and comfortable with myself. This is probably just mindset, but I also think th… Read how I did it…

How to dance more
It took me
7 weeks
It made me
fulfilled

How I did it: What it came down to were the realizations that (1) dancing makes me happy, (2) it's far more fun to dance than not, and (3) no one really cares what you look like if you are genuinely enjoying yourself. Read how I did it…

go raw for 30 days
day one

I’m doing it! I have someone to hold me accountable (in addition to myself.) Someone who I’m actually paying to create a meal plan for me, complete with recipes! and has experience with all the cravings, detoxifying, and uplifting factors of the raw food process. I’m very very excited and optimistic, and also grateful for the supportive people I have around me, especially my roommates.

This is it.

write more letters (read all 2 entries…)

Definitely doing this. But I think it’s an ongoing goal, so I can’t really say I’ve overall “done” this and am done with this. I just have to incorporate it into my life now!

have a better relationship with my dad (read all 4 entries…)
progress

An uplifting event occurred in which my father actually took the steps to ending his dependency on alcohol. He went to the doctor and got a prescription for a drug that makes you violently ill if you drink ANY alcohol while on it. The improvement is amazing. He is so much more level headed and calm now. My relationship with my dad feels like it can now be built on a stable foundation. Thank you so much.
