How I did it
How to jump into water fully clothed
It took me
1 day
It made me
Rejuvenated!

How I did it: I finished a run and was hot and sweaty.  I saw the apartment's pool, and I just jumped into it.  I took my running shoes off first though because I didn't have another pair and didn't want to have to dry them. Read how I did it…

become more decisive and outspoken (read all 2 entries…)
do i actually even want this for myself? 22 months ago

Several things here: first of all, in my quest to become more comfortable with myself, this is one of those things about me that I’m not sure if I want to change. I like being able to sit back and quietly observe. What if while I’m so busy asserting and having a voice that I stop saying anything important? And what if I miss something amazing in the scenery because I’m busy staking out what I want in some inconsequential claim. Whenever I’ve really believed something or really had an opinion that mattered, I’ve stood up and represented those beliefs. I think I’m going to let the little things go and let other people decide and speak out on behalf of the things I don’t care about anyway.

be completely comfortable with myself
Harder than I thought... 22 months ago

When I made this goal, I don’t think that I realized the scope of what I was taking on or how hard it would be. I think I am constantly becoming more comfortable with myself, but being completely comfortable is difficult. For example, if I realize that I’ve gained a couple pounds and don’t look as fit as I did a couple years ago… then suddenly instead of looking at all of the other ways I’ve progressed in that time, I’m uncomfortable with my appearance. Or, I’ll meet someone and realize that I feel shy and insecure and wish I had worn a different pair of socks with my shoes instead of feeling confident that I’m intelligent, funny, and original. I’ve come a long way in the last couple of years, but there’s still a journey ahead!
