Self Discovery

So, Dharma an Greg was a great show. I love both of them as actors/actresses. It's played on F/X during the day sometimes.

The current episodes that have been aired feature Greg "following his bliss". He has quit his law practice and is following his bliss. He hasn't yet discovered it though. He is on the journey and Dharma is advising him to enjoy the journey as that is almost more important than the destination.

I don't tend to be introspective based on a "sit-com".

But I was thinking about the journey. I tend to not take the time to "smell the flowers". I am always about the destination.

I am doing my Life Makeover's plan by Cheryl Richardson and having a good time thus far. I'm playing catch up for the first few weeks as I started 6 weeks later than the book does. Once I get caught up, will be taking a week at a time for each exercize to make sure that I give myself that time to enkoy the journey.

Weight Watcher's, similarly, is all about the journey and less about the goal. Oh Don't get me wrong, the goal is important, but they stress more about learning about yourself and how to make peace with "the problems of the living" in order to be able to participate in the tasks that make the program successful. If your head isnt in the game there, you will get frustrated. Here is a case where keeping your eye on the ball can almost sabotage your efforts.

Not that you shouldn't keep your on A ball - just not that BIG one. Setting smaller goals is so realistic and easy that I have started adding that to my daily life for improving. For example, instead of just saying "I'm going to be organized" I have decided to say "I will organize my desk in a way that makes sense and honors my methods for doing business and maintaining my home" in that way I accomplish the one task, and I have a much better shot at maintaining it.

I did it with my kitchen cabinets and it was successful. After living here for a year, I kept re-arranging the cabinets and the locations of things like glasses and kitchen implements and canned goods etc. I finally figured out the best way that makes sense for me and I have had no trouble maintaining it.

Small goals baby. Such an easy concept and one that I rarely think of. Maybe I'm too arrogant and don't think I need to by human that way.

If that's the case - I just took myself down a peg or two!
