Well well. Time for a legit post. So in wrapping up this process I definitely think that there is a bit more I can do. Re-read my posts for example. I know there a lot that helped me in them, and I mean I wrote it so the thoughts are in my head, but there are times when you can use positive reminders and I think that this blog will continue to serve as a great tool for that.
I can honestly say I don't now what I was truly expecting from this project. I know it was very ambitious and that I wasn't sure I'd even make it to half-way. But I did. And not only that I was actually seeing the change in myself I was trying for.
In talking about this the other day I was asked why I felt that this was something I needed to do. My attitude wasn't necessarily viewed as poor , even positive perhaps, and I knew that too when I started. I guess I knew that there was more that I could do. Also, I figured that while others might not see it, its how I do that's important. So changing my mindset vs saying the way I act is a key difference. Not particularly how I handle things or what I say or do, but how I think about it. Granted hat of course is connected with the rest and altogether it makes a great difference.
I know I have a day of writing ahead of me still, but I'm still not too sure what I want to do after that day. Honestly keeping writing is again forcing me to think about things and process them - and that's great. But writing just for the sake of writing (as I've done more than a couple times) isn't helping at all. I guess a good goal (key word right there!) would be to write a few times a week, and make at least a couple of them legitimately count. Even if its still reflecting on a quote that still opened my thoughts up a lot. I suppose one thing to do would be to look at quotes I've already done and see how my thoughts have changed about them or at least how I am applying them to my life.
In any case I can't even begins to say how happy and proud I am of myself and this project. I know theres still a lot more I can do to challenge myself and get my goals accomplished. When I started this project I didn't even have goals written out. It sure feels good :)
