Coming Back to Life in General

It’s a day for the foundation of new habits and new mindsets, if only one step at a time. Overhauls take time and patience, something I’m not particularly good at. A light out of the darkness or some other such cliche would work. The aim for now is to be more focused in the present instead of sitting with one eye firmly in the future and the other myopically on the past. That leads to too much second guessing and judgmentalism, neither of which tends to accomplish very much.

Tasks and goals
Thought dumps
Clearing out the internal dialogues
Shutting up the self-critic
Balance
Enjoyment vs responsibility
Freedom vs control
Habit-breaking and habit-forming
Ideas, creativity, excitement
Pride in the little things
Connection and re-connection
Hope

Small beginnings are better than not beginning at all, where perfectionism and impatience just get in the way.
