It's been a productive day, I finished all my responsibilities today. I got all my Transcript requests submitted, and I rode my bike even though my legs hurt a bit, although it also might have been more challenging because the wind was blowing a bit hard. Rain is expected sometime on Friday or Saturday, but I don't care, I'm going to ride my bike anyway.
Spoke to a coworker because I wanted to find out more about the impact of whiskey & beer on losing weight. And she suggested that I research the issue a bit, and after some researching I found out that in order to continue losing weight I'll have to stop drinking beer & whiskey for a bit. I'm thinking that stopping for 12 weeks might be necessary since I want to lose 30 lbs before July. And even though I know its a big challenge to drop that much weight, I'm willing to make whatever sacrifices are needed. Plus after I drop the 30 lbs, I want to celebrate with a bottle of Lagavulin 16.
After work, I went to the bookstore and picked up The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I started reading it at the mall, and I'm excited about the possibilities this book has to offer. I'll be doing a review of the book once I finish reading it though, and I'm more than likely going to have to read it twice so I can soak up all the useful knowledge from it.
I haven't been stressed a lot this week, in fact my stress level has decreased significantly. The core values are helping me a lot, I finally feel like my life has structure. However, it could just be the feeling of something new in my life. I won't really know how the changes I'm implementing in my life has impacted me until after 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Blogging everyday has helped though, I'm no longer holding so many thoughts and emotions inside myself. Although at times, I still feel like something is missing or that I haven't found what I'm looking for. But I'm not going to find anything significant so early in my new journey. It's going to take time, and even though I want things to hurry up because I'm curious... I have to remember that with every new step comes new challenges, and consistency is every bit as important as staying focused everyday.
I'm anxious though, but at the same time... I'm being cautious, I don't want to screw anything up. I'm threading very careful, I don't want to say or do anything that might cause my personality to lose focus. I'm not sure if I blogged it earlier or not, but I was thinking about how my dream last night might have been a representation of procrastination in my life. Like the Transcript should've been mailed out earlier this week, but because I kept putting it my dreams started to manifest that lack of action. Time is not on my side anymore, I have to treat everyday like it's my life... I know its a bit morbid, but it's my belief that if today is my life day... then I want it to matter. I want everyday to have a deeper purpose. Plus, I just want to sense an increase in productivity in my life... I don't want to be inactive, I want to stay busy and moving. I owe it to myself and others not to waste the time that has been given to me... I have to Live Each Day as if it's my last.
