I had a chance to work on this every day and I admit, it was harder than I expected and I certainly slipped up a few times. Even though I wasn't perfect, I was so much more conscious of being a safe driver and keeping my attention on the road. It was really helpful to have this single goal to focus on for the month and overall, I feel pretty successful. Hopefully, it can be a habit that will I keep improving on over time.
Next up, this month I want to make sure I am the most authentic me that I can be. It has always been tough for me to not compare myself to others. I notice the girl with the straighter, blonder hair and the cuter,more expensive clothes, the fellow commuter with the sleek, German import car, the classmate who earned a better grade, it goes on and on! But for 28 days, I'm going to embrace being me in all it's glory. I guess it is sorta like being my own valentine this year (don't worry Mr. C - you're still my valentine too!).
So, what does this mean? This means I will walk around my office sans-shoes. I will sing Carrie Manolakos' cover of Creep by Radiohead terribly off key. I will insist on hugging my dog even when he is in a spazzy mood. I will eat chocolate way too early in the morning. I will continue to "forget" to bring water to bed and take Mr. C's instead. I will pick off my nail polish just days after putting it on.
And I'm going to love every, single minute of it. So there world, get ready for me!
What makes you, you?
Until next time, travel on...
Maggie
