I ordererd this book: 20 Something, 20 Everything. I hope this will help me with my questions. (Tip from Tiny Dancer, Thanks!)
I have some goals here (also from Tiny Dancer, thank you so much for the inspiration!) that will help me achieve piece of mind.
- Get all of the tedious tasks out of the way to clear my time and mind
- Secure my independence. Give myself time to adjust and adapt to being on my own and develop a strong sense of inner confidence and hardy self-reliance
- Build a secure foundation. Secure independence, self-security, financial security
- Be more patient with myself. Give myself permission to make mistakes and time to adjust, learn and grow
- Become more grateful. Feel good about the “Things” I HAVE done!! :)
- Become lighter. Declutter
- Have fabulous money management skills

One part of it (for me) is decluttering my mind. Getting the annoying tasks out of the way as soon as they appear. This will achieve a short-term kind of peace of mind.
If I look at the bigger picture though, that won’t be enough. I’m feeling very restless and my life is just a series of question marks right now. I’m 24, I have a good job and a nice appartment. So you think I would feel content, but somehow I don’t. And I don’t seem to really know who I am…
I am having some money problems right now, maybe that adds to the restlessness? Although it’s not really a big issue at the moment, I mean… I can still live in a comfortable way, I just need to save up more.
I think my partner might me a factor as well. I’m not single, but I’m not in a steady relationship either. I’m in the grey area in between. And I’m not liking it. I won’t give up on it yet though, because I really like this guy. It’s just making me feel a little bit insecure.
Those are the only two things I can come up with, that might keep me from feeling wonderfully peaceful. But what if I get these things sorted out? Will I REALLY feel better? I’m not really sure about that.

I left my home, my country, my studies. Had a beautiful time far away and now I feel better, much better… But should never stop taking good care of myself, otherwise it won’t last long…

I haven’t quite found myself yet…. My head spins all of the time…. The only question I have is when?

My idea of success in this life is finding peace of mind. It seems to be a constant carrying capacity around which I regularly occillate, but have the luxury of enjoying for only short bursts here and there. Perhaps it’s more of a choice than I realize…

If there was a punctuation mark to describe how I’ve been living my life, it would be !
Carpe diem->just do it->live fast and hard—> get a lot accomplished…but perhaps burning the candle at both ends isn’t always the best (or healthiest) thing.
Someone once said I was indefatigable, but, as I’m realizing more and more, it does take its toll on you.
A soul vacation is in order.
