Day 9

I woke up humming "Woke up this morning feeling fine. There's something special on my mind." I can't believe that an old Herman's Hermits song would be stuck in my brain!

Yesterday afternoon, my mood turned melancholy. There is so much to think about – and so much to do. It was so hard not to become really depressed. I have really great parents – I grew up in a house filled with love. So I don't know why I have these hang-ups.

Well, that's not all together true. I do know why – and I don't blame-blame my parents. They were the product of their own upbringing. I just feel like I have so much to do to make a real change in my life. Some things I don't feel prepared to tackle just now. On the other hand, if I don't try to make changes, then I will have wasted my time. Grrrr!

Hi, Chloe! I definitely know that feeling of much to do to get where you wanna go ... so, here's another tune to hum:

"Just put one foot in front of the other ..."

Yep, that's from the Winter Warlock and it often helps me regain my focus (and patience) as I go about my way of evolving and growing.

Looking forward to sharing your journey!

Chloe,
Congrats on your journey! I just started with Pegi and am already seeing my resistance to some exercises. It'll be interesting to see where we end up!

Thank you both for your comments and your encouragement.

Thanks for the reminder Kenya! I often forget the simple things! I do need to remember to just keep moving forward – one step at a time and not get too overwhelmed.

To Anonymous - I'm glad you mentioned feeling resistant. Well – I'm not glad that you are resistant – just glad that I'm not the only one feeling that way! I have found myself feeling some resistance - especially the last couple of days. I'm not sure how to get over some of these mountains. I guess, as Kenya said, I need to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Eventually, I'll get there.
