Adopt a theme song for my life at the moment…

“I have walked this earth and watched people
I can be sincere and say i like them”

“You can’t say no to hope, can’t say no to happiness”

“I want to go on a mountain-top
with a radio and good batteries
play a joyous tune
and free the human race from suffering”

“I’m no fucking Buddist but this is enlightment”

“The less room you give me, the more space I’ve got”

“This is an alarm-call so wake-up wake-up now”

“Today has never happened and it doesn’t frighten me”

Alright, kinda a strange choice. shrugs well, I’ve liked this song for a while, but I figure it fits with what I want to achieve at this point in time, so its an appropriate theme song.

Let me explain – I want to bring happiness to people, and I dont need to know them, and I dont need to do much either. I’ve been amazed to learn over the past couple of weeks that in just leaving a positive comment for someone can so effect their feelings, and give them a bit of happiness. And thats just one example. Think I’ll start smiling more too. I want to have more of an effect on total strangers!

I want to have a positive outlook on life personally too, I’m gearing up to having a great, happy and productive year! And a year when I grow closer to God as well 🙂 Break free of what confines me and be happy in the knowledge that I am being me, and I am happy with who I am.

I want to be able to recognise any distructive elements that may infringe on this too.

And I refuse to be scaired, I want to get out side of my comfort zone, and experience what life has to offer me!

Stretch everyday –

well, granted I’ve only been doing this for 4 days, but last night I could have sworn that I had already had a major improvement in my flexibility.  And then when I did my strecthes this morning I was shocked that I was almost up to the same flexibility as when I started stretching.  And then I thought about it.  I was all limber last night because I’d been walking around all day, etc. and therefore, stretched out.  what a bummer.

I also include some ab work in my stretches, and that is moving ahead very fast.  But its also making me feel fat.

And at this point it isnt helping with my infernal tiredness in the mornings.  😦

Touch my toes –

Im including this in that goal, so Im working on it.  at this point I’m only about half way down my calves.  I blame it on long legs.

respond to emails and messages promptly-

I am so proud of myself!

Today i sent out a Happy New Year to all my japanese friends, so the ball is in there court.  And there are only 7 more emails in my inbox that require responce or actions!  yay!  it feels so great!

And this goal has also had some really positive effects on my internet usage.  I do tend to waste too much time on the net, stuffing around and doing nothing.  I’ve been in the mentality that, oh, I should get on an check my emails….  and then I do, and then I go off and do other things.  and I spend half the day stuffing around.

So I adopted the approach that If I get online, and check my emails I will respond straight away.  If I dont have time for that, I really shouldnt be getting on the net.  And I also dont have a need to check my emails everyday.  It was getting to be ridiculous in that I would check my mail at 11 at night, and then the next morning I would check aroun 9.  Like Im going to get life changing emails in those times.  Like I even get life changeing emails. 

so yeah, havent been using the net quite as much, and Im better for it!
