be more easy-going
Like Water Off A Duck's Back

One of my resolutions this year was to be more easy-going. That includes not letting things bother me so much. If something is beyond my control, why should I let it bother me?

I feel less stressed already this year, but I have also been told by several people that I often look sad. I don’t know if I’m supposed to walk around with perma-grin or what, but I feel great. Whatever, I can’t worry about what people think of me either. I just have to be the best that I can be, and in the end only please myself (and my wife of course).



win ESPN's Streak-for-the-Ca$h (read all 2 entries…)
Ten

I need to set smaller goals for myself with this one and then ultimately work towards winning the whole thing. If I can chip away one month at a time, I think this won’t seem so impossible.

So for now, my goal is to get to at least 10 wins in the month of January.



Learn lucid dreaming
My Dream Journal

I began my dream journal this morning. I read online that one of the easiest ways to start lucid dreaming is to take detailed notes of your dreams, and write in the present tense so it’s easier to become self-aware and thus gain control of your dream.

If I’m lucky, I may get some pretty interesting stories that I’ve written too. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll publish them.
