Head work

Here I am, butting up against issues that keep popping up. I never deal with them, so they never get "olved" in any manner - resolved, dissolved, evolved...

My doc suggested I 'go see someone', but with my limited success I've had with working with professionals, I feel it's a waste of time and money. Nobody has ever been able to lead me out of the boxes, no one has given me tools to deal with my baggage, no one has helped at all, except as a face I can kvetch to and I have friends who do that for free. When I indicated that I was loath to begin with a therapist, my doc told me to make a list of the things about my life I want to change and thinking about that has gotten me more focused than I've been in years.

So in an extremely broad manner, which will get me started on pinpointing the changes I can put in effect, here are the top 5 things I'd like to change in my life:

1) wellness

exercise

increase strength, flexibility and stamina

eating healthy food

more veggies, less junk food, more lean meats, (or no meats?)

the ability to see food as fuel - eat to live

make cosmetic efforts

2) house paperwork

keep up with financials

tracking and inputting stuff to quicken for taxes

monitor investments better

3) engage with children more

play with them more

find/do interesting experiences

listen to them more and allow joy

4) Consume less

lessen ecological impact while conserving resources

5) eliminate procrastination in order to make the first four happen

Needs work.
