Life is good.

I moved into my new place on June 21st, the first day of summer. I like the symbolism of that! I am a romantic at heart and symbols are romantic to me :-)

I like my house-mates. We were friends before house-mates and this new relationship is a nice shift of energy... moving more into the territory of familiality, which I like! Love! Adore! Desire!

I also have a couple of job interviews this week and they both look promising. I am not nervous, but excited and confident. There is not one thing about me that I feel the need to hide, tweak, or fake. I am who I am and if I say, "I am pretty decent" I would be underplaying it.

I am the same person on the surface as I am underneath the surface. The thoughts that I hear in my head are the same that I speak to others. There are no masks, there are no skeletons. Honesty, purity, kindness, love and other such wondernessess live and breed in me.

I am conscious, not passive. I choose, not react. When shit happens, my life doesn't end there, it continues to breath and prosper. It finds fun and adventure in highs and lows. Lows aren't thought of as lows anymore by this new mind that I now possesses, instead they're highs. They're opporunities, they're windows into new doors.

Life is good, to put it simply.

Change comes when comfort settles. Today, i.e. four days before I move out to be on my own, I feel a little extra at home at home. The finale is nearing and with that nostalgia brews.

Shock Therapy

I gave a one-month notice at my current job today. It lit a fire behind my butt. Meaning, I do not have another job lined up yet, yet I gave a notice.

This action is something I needed to get things moving. I have been wanting to move on for a while, am in the middle of interviewing with one place, but haven't applied to any other desirable jobs in all the past weeks that I've fantasized about moving on. My comfortable association with my current place of work was keeping me from going out after the next big thing. Fire behind my butt is exactly what I needed. This shift in energy is exactly what I needed.

I know it'll all work out fine. There's no worry in the air. Only inspiration and motivation. And just the right amount of shock therapy to put perspective on the commodity of time, allowing fine tuning the management of it.

What are you doing differently today?

Completion

I want to make a habit of finishing things. And finishing them quickly! Say, biweekly vs. stretching over a few months. This means fewer things happening simultaneously. For example, reading 1-2 books at a time instead of 5! Ideally, just one.

Between April and May I finished reading 3 or 4 books and an introductory HTML/CSS course on www.codecademy.com Reading that last page, checking off that last question, is such a good feeling. It fills me up with positivity and confidence. I want to feel more of this type of energy.

This applies to daily things, too. Such as completing an exercise routine... or something as simple and as short as making the bed.

Feeling of Completion. That's what I'm deliberately striving for starting now until it becomes an effortless habit.
