become centered

For me becoming centered really has nothing to do with finding God, or religion in general. I think that becoming centered is something that you have to find within yourself. More than anything in my opinion it is really about getting to know yourself and finding how to make yourself complete in whatever you choose to do with your life.

Right now I know my life is completely unbalanced and I know that being in college that is just how life is, but hopefully within the next 5 years that I really have a grasp on where I should be, what I should be doing and in what manner I should be doing it. Hopefully I can really start figuring it all out this summer.

I have decided to pray daily to get closer to God.
I’ve also researched the benefits of daily journal writing (I always thought people who were way self absorbed did this…lol…). Apparently, the mental health and growth benefits have been proven time and time again. So I’m gonna try to keep to it. We’ll see how this goes.

I’ve been on the road for the last six months. These 6 months came at the end of a turbulent four years in medical school with a few key complications in my personal life. I thought that I would find my centre during my trek around the country, while networking for residency programs, but I was more focused on networking and simply acted out my craziness in fun and wild ways during any spare time that I had. Having gotten that under my belt, I feel the need to find my centre. What is the point of life if I keep on reacting and moving on if I don’t have a centre built on my lessons from it. I think my centre might be found somewhere between self awareness, introspection, compassion, and a better comfort level with God. At least that’s where I think I’ll find it.
