How to practice Yoga
It took me
1 year
It made me
content

How I did it: My gym offers many yoga classes. I began taking the Tuesday night class about a year ago, and have generally made the commitment to do yoga at least once a week. If I had time, I'd definitely go more often! Read how I did it…

How to do hundredpushups.com program
It took me
180 days
It made me
strong

How I did it: I set a plan to do the program every other day in the morning. And then I did that. I had some fits and starts, because of work or injury, so I had to restart the whole program several times. Don't give up if this happens to you, simply persevere!   Read how I did it…

Fix my life (read all 6 entries…)
Le sigh. 3 weeks ago

Tonight I am melancholic. My lack of resilience contributes to my ineffectiveness. Oy.

I’ve been without motivation, feeling helpless to address my dissatisfaction with my situation for some time, and the universe will be kicking my ass any moment now.

I don’t know how to get motivated again. I don’t want to hit rock bottom before I get my shit together.

meditate daily (read all 2 entries…)
Seriously though 6 months ago

Why is this one so hard to do? I even took a meditation workshop. I’m supposed to be practicing for a month before we meet up again to talk about our experiences. I have a little over a week to get into the groove. Starting today, I am going to give myself a little goal: Meditate for 5 minutes every day until June 6th.

Where did the first half of 2009 go already!

Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2) (read all 41 entries…)
5/6/09 6 months ago

I am in a good place right now. It’s funny, I was so unhappy a few weeks ago when my therapist reminded me to keep a gratitude journal, and I was dreading therapy today. Now I’m not.

I am grateful:

  • that my friend appreciates the purple bracelet (inspired by A Complaint-Free World) that I made for her
  • for good friends that think of me and include me in their plans
  • for my raise!
  • that I seem to be doing better at work, and enjoying my supervisors
  • that I made it to the gym today
