Monday not-so-fun-day

Yes, it's Monday. Yes, it's the start of a long week. But tonight I decided to make some banana-walnut-chocolate chip muffins. I have also started to pack for my trip to Florida (I leave this week to be in my cousin's wedding). So, I guess the day is coming to a pretty nice end.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Think about what's holding you back. Really think about it and try to truly identify it. Most of the time, I project my insecurities onto outside forces - more tangible things. But when I really contemplate it, I'm the only thing that's holding me back. My own insecurities are my downfall.

Time for a change I suppose.

Take a moment...

I've been pretty busy this week, (and I anticipate this entire semester) and stress is always creeping into awareness from my subconscious. I am fortunate enough to be inundated with responsibilities that I am truly happy to be doing. I am currently stimulated and intellectually fulfilled, partly because I am always challenging myself to be in the moment and to be a participant observer in the world around me. Regardless, it's important for me to remember to take a deep breath every once in a while and check in with myself. Taking the time to gauge personal growth and appreciate what I'm doing, instead of just getting bogged down by going through the motions (which is terribly easy).
