it’s jan 23 so i am still allowed to feel that new year refreshment. one of my resolutions/goals/desires for the near term is to say YES to more opportunities instead of weighing them all for the utilitarian/cost benefit. i am a person who loves fun, hijinks and adventure. at the same time i am practical, realistic and responsible at my core. it makes for a weird, interesting and often exasperating mix (for myself and others).
sometimes the two sides counteract one another and immobilize me, which is neither fun nor productive. but i never stay in the bad place very long. right now what i need to do is indulge the fun/risky/open side and say YES to the unusual. like in this cheesy jim carey movie my shrink told me about:
am pretty proud of my progress over the past 23 days. some of it shall remain unspoken on the interwebs (privacy is the new celebrity, you know), but what i CAN report…
1. i finally attended CRINGE and scoped it out. i had talked about reading at one about four years ago and never got the balls to do it. now i am ready and looking to book my reading soon. stay tuned!
2. i signed up to do the MRFF Empire State Building Run Up it is coming up frighteningly soon and i’ve barely trained but i’m still stoked.
3. i’ve accepted social invitations i normally would have not and have ended up really enjoying myself. rather than the default answer being NO, how weird/exhausting/challenging/un-Me, it’s now YES.
Bottom line: so far so good. Patting myself on the back to keep it up. Gotta be my own biggest cheerleader cause all I’ve got is me. YEAHDOG!
