I'm doing 11 things
I have the most trouble forgiving myself for my mistakes, and boy I’ve made a lot of them. Every now and then though I can be at peace with myself, and it’s a wonderful feeling.

How I did it
It made me
HAPPY 
How I did it: I sat at my computer every day at the same time. I set a goal to write 1,500 words each day. I didn't try to edit myself or write anything out ahead of time. I simply followed where my writing led me. Some days it was pure torture, but other days it was enlightening. My writing seemed to have a life of its own. Read how I did it…

I have journals all over the place. I keep one going for a few months and then set it aside and forget about it. A few months later I start again. I draw pictures, write fiction, compose poetry, whatever. Most of the time I know it won’t make sense to anyone but me, and then sometimes I can’t make much sense of what I write myself, but it’s worth it. It helps to put things down on paper so you can see your thoughts and feelings, instead of ruminating endlessly on them.
