Time for the monthly review. Yes I know its getting boring, but I have to do it for my own sake. Feel free to skip this one.
I have to do the review a little differently this time. As expected my enthusiasm to keep up at my resolutions are taking a downward slope, as my surroundings at work and home demand more of my attention, leaving very little to concentrate on my resolutions. (Who am I kidding, I am just trying to slip into my old ways, lazy me, I wont let that happen)
What I am most struggling to keep up at-
Temper control
Worry
Self control
Overcoming procastination
What I am doing fairly well with some faltering -
Positive thinking
Being spiritual
Community work
Good habits
Goals and working towards it
Some activities that I started in the heat of the moment a month ago, I am still continuing, which is good. I successfully finished a course in the local college, totally unrelated to my field of work. Do you know there exist people in America that don't know how to access Yahoo groups, and some that don't own an email id, leave alone the fact that some don't check their emails everyday.
Finally I am finishing some books. Which is a great feeling. For long, DH will confirm, I have been hopping from book to book, losing interest midway. Fiction is not for me, unless its as gripping as Da Vinci Code, or written as well as The Kite Runner. I haven taken to books that teach you real stuff, with a story in the background. The first book I successfully completed was The Goal which was a reading for the book club at work. I guess in the beginning I was quite fired up, so everything in the book was a revelation, and it made me go wow!
With winter creeping in, there aren't too many community activities to which I can volunteer. But I started tutoring in the local high school, which counts partially towards community work. Its a different story that I totally forgot my advanced trigonometry and had to rely on the 10th grader's notes to get through the hour. I am looking forward to the next session when I am hoping to be more prepared.
What I would like to work on are my self control and worry and procastination. I cried a couple of times, I didnt get angry, which is the positive side of it. I would like to be more neutral most of the times, instead jumping from super happy to super sad. Lot of work needs to be done.
With in laws gone, its time to get back to my normal diet, which means I have to control my food intake. I have started going to the gym after a big break since my ankle twist, and I hope to continue leading a healthy life style.
I realize at work, I am moving from acting to reacting, working on things that need immediate attention, which might be against my priorities. I need to be more organized and firm. Lot of work needs to be done on that front.
So many things to work on. I am not fretting, will work on it one by one, little by little. After all, the book says, 'The Goal: A process of ongoing improvement' ;--)
Next check on Dec 12th, till then, have fun people!
PS: The thing I asked you guys to pray for, well, it didn't happen exactly, but in the course of time I expect atleast part of it to happen. Thanks a lot again to all those who prayed and wished, you guys really rock!! |
