How to make 2009 My Best Year Yet


Entries

End of October update: 2 days ago

A lot of this month felt like it was spent consolidating certain things, stretching my shoulder, and preparing for a job interview that I had in the beginning of November.

Become a licensed acupuncturist
Another month of not doing much except for preliminaries. I interviewed for another job, which would’ve brought in more income, thus I’d be able to swing the cost of the whole process, but didn’t get the job. And I have started putting some money into a savings account for the process. I ran into another acu student, and asked her if she wanted to study with me so that’s a possibility as well.

Begin dancing again (get in shape, and go to one dance related event a month)
Was in PT each week for the whole month. No dance event. Feeling a little better. Yesterday the therapist said I tested positive for a labral tear. November will be more stretches and a follow up appt. with the orthopedist. Don’t want to go dancing, at least partner dancing, because I don’t want to constantly explain… Maybe a performance somewhere. Would like to do some upper body strengthening this month.

Do what it takes to heal my knee (and other medical problems that may come up).
See above.:)

Plan one big trip this year, preferably overseas, and 1-4 short trips.
Began planning a trip to Milwaukee to see Julie & Sweet MK in November.:) Plan another day or weekend trip for December, possibly.

Begin and end all conversations on a positive note.
Great happiness with this one. Thinking about the idea of ‘holding a space’ for a person in conversation.

Clear some financial wreckage, i.e. consolidate student loans, etc. and follow Debtproof living plan.
Got the consolidation form and made a payment. November, I’ll fill the form out and make another payment.

Keep my home clean and beautiful
October wasn’t so great. In November, I have a goal to do every mission for the month.

Seek help in finding peace with myself and my family, while staying close to my community.
Continued on with the meetings. Community support was very strong this month. I haven’t seen my therapist in a couple of months, and feel a little weird about it…like I’ve dropped the ball. I need to write her a note and change this feeling. This element of support and healing is very important to me.

Appreciate the opportunity to love, and find a lover who I truly love.
October has still been a solitary month. I did have fun flirting with someone who (go figure) is in another country.:) I feel like I’m still consolidating things here, and although I’m open to something new, I’m not necessarily pursuing it actively right now. Probably due to the holidays, and all that comes with it. So my goal this month is to continue being open, getting to know people/persons, turning it over..

Be on time for work. Leave an extra 15 minutes commute time.
A good effort, although at times I felt like I was going by the seat of my pants.



juck juck 2 days ago

so yeah, i’ve reclaimed my life back, and we have no obligations any more except to each other. since a person who depended of him, is not with us any more.
he is back in my life, usualy it is great, and sometimes he makes me feel like total crap. does it prove we are wrong for each other? i feel so bitter.

Work
Weeks have felt like days – so many people to see and things to do, but I feel as if I’ve made some progress. The team are beginning to come up with process improvement ideas so hoping to implement some of these in November.

Driving
Going well.

Food and Wine
Comfort eating in the evenings, but breakfasts and lunches super healthy. Haven’t had time to think about culinary arts recently.

Hiking
3 walks – one 8 miler. Also been walking back from work with a friend. Trying to exercise regularly

Writing
Finished 1st draft second novel. Started supporting short story for first novel. Aiming to re-plot first novel, and start to re-write in November.

Social
Contacted old friends via email. Saw A&W. MiL coming to stay in November. Going to invite J&P over for a meal.

House
Very little.

Mindwork
Started a business coaching/leadership programme.

Travel
Homebody. Investigating doing the WHW again.

Finances
Stashed some cash in ISA/mortgage. Continuing this in Nov/Dec.



Update.. 1 week ago

1. Meeting someone special to have a relationship with:
I feel almost in love with my friend, but she has no clue. It feels wrong but so right at the same time, but I am dying with this day by day.

2. Develop high confidence:
feeling low right now, still haven’t found a job or a decision about future school. Just feel blah and empty.

3. Accomplish the little things I have wanted to for years:
want to knit something I can wear
want to be in a long term relationship
want to be confident

4. Figuring out what I want to become and where I want to be headed in life:
nope as I said in the confidence area. I still don’t know and it really sucks.

5. Keep my space really neat and organized, become an organized person:
MESS..
yeah that sums it up :(

Obviously just in a bad time right now. I need to make some changes.



times flies 1 week ago

Cannot believe its halloween tomorrow! Where has the time gone? All thats really been going on is uni. Despite joining 2 teams its only tennis i still go to. I got to play for the team which was great even though i lost, but it was close. Also went out on a night out with the club which was fun. Only i had to get a taxi hom myslf which im not too keen about but i suppose on occasions its worth it. But had to deal with loads of text from my sister sent on my mums behalf constantly asking when i was coming home, which is so fustrating cause it wasnt even late when i received the first text. But i think the tennis club has been the best thing this month. As for my course however its not so good. its now the end of week 5, almost half way through the semester and i still dont really know anyone. Still feel like and outsider, which makes me hate that we got groupwork stuff for one class and we need to get into our own groups, how the fuck am i going to do that? Everyone seems to have their own clicks well established and im just not confident enough to speak up. This shyness is seriously crippling me, i hate it and got no idea how or if its even possible for me to change. Its my own fault cause im the new on so i should try damn hard to get to know people but its like im scared to talk to them. On the occasions i have managed its been fine but i cant seem to move it onto the next level. This is the one thing that totally fucks up my whole life and so despartely want to change. I knwo its just practice but i cant get any words to come out my mouth which makes it very hard to practice. Im quite scared that its gonna affect my grades and degree.Im not sure if im just out of practice or im just always like this but im seriously struggling to focus and do the work. I think way to much but everything im not doing which only makes me even more consious of how much im not talking, which in the end just upsets me. Becasue all i do is think about how shit everyhting is. This is no way to carry on, i just dont know if i can ever not be so pessimistic about everything.
