Birthday Reflections

It's that time of year again....  I wonder if every birthday will be as tumultuous as this one.  :/  Sometime sI fear I think too much, even for an Introverted Gemini... and then I think that I think about thinking too much and then I just get really frustrated and stare at the clouds and think about flowers or the beach and it gets a little easier to bear.

Today was a really tough day. It's been a tough quarter.  It's been a tough year.  It's been tough in general living in Olympia... but I digress.  I need to reflect on how far I've come in achieving my New Year's Resolution, "Get Fit: Mind, Body, Soul".

Body-Mind: 

Good Job!

1) Coming out trans* has really helped align my mental image to my physical expression

2) I'm finally beginning to let go of the Beach Culture mentality. Beginning, cause that was 15 years worth of brainwashing

3) I'm eating better, which helps me function in a less grouchy capacity

Step It Up!!

1) I need to start doing more physical activity

2) I need to start expanding my gluten-free, dairy-free kitchen skills

3) I need to eat more, in general.

Mind-Soul:

Good Job!

1) I have redistributed my energy so that I don't burn out

2) I am working with orgs that I have a reciprocal relationship with

3) I am living in the moment more often

Step It Up!!

1) I need to do more writing!

2) I need to do more creative expression

3) I need to do more constructive thinking

Body-Soul:

Good Job!

1) Coming out as trans*.  What a stressor that shit is bottled up

2) I am thinking more critically about what events brought me to this place in my Life

3) I am working on letting past shit go

Step It Up!!

1) I need to reach back and reconnect with old friends

2) I need to listen more to my Intuition

3) I need to re-prioritise so that people and things aren't weighing me down

Seeing this written down... I acknowledge the strides I've made in the last six months, but I can honestly say I've been really lazy.  I feel, though, that with so many of my obligations coming to an end with the closing of the academic year, that I'm going to have a lot of space and time to reorganise. I feel like I'm getting ready to be taken on a wild ride and I wanna make sure I've brought my lunch.....
