12/2/2015 0 Comments What is Important to MeI spend quite a bit of time contemplating just about everything. However, I want to pause for a second.
I have a notebook. It is small, black and very worn. This notebook includes everything from grocery lists to early morning thoughts. But the highlight of notes regards my core values. This list reminds me what is important. When I get caught up in the speed of life, it is what I read.

12/1/2015 0 Comments PressureThere are different origins of pressure. One comes from society and the other comes from yourself. This is the difference between being who society wants you to be and being who you want to be. The pressure that I talk about comes from only yourself.
I often feel strong pressure to achieve success. I create this pressure myself and I don’t want to eliminate it entirely. Much of what I think is conflicting. If I create some sort of discomfort for myself, shouldn’t I change? Well… I’ve tried that before and it didn’t work for me. I became complacent and unlike myself. Now, I have to figure out what is best for me. I’m testing the waters and seeing what works. As a result, I play with pressure. At the same time, I check in with myself. How am I feeling? If my well being is compromised, that is where I stop. I increase the focus on my health. I was talking to my dad a few days ago and telling him about some of my thoughts. I explained the things that I wanted to change in my life. This understandably concerned my dad. When I express the thoughts that run through my head it seems as though I am unhappy. The things is, that isn’t true. I only want to understand the forces that influence me. |
