Breathing deeply.

Today has been a good day. From the moment I got out of bed, I've been productive. Sometimes I get a day like this and when it happens I wonder why it's so unusual. Of course a few bad thoughts have come to mind and I've second guessed a few things, but overall I'm in a good place.

These past two days I've pushed myself to do things that are not easy and not within my comfort zone. In recent years I've done all that I can to avoid such situations but I've realized that it isn't helping me in the long run. So, it's good to challenge myself and face fears when I can. I've socilized with someone new, I've spoken up in a meeting and I've allowed myself to get work done and to feel good about it. Not bad.

My birthday is coming up this weekend and it's my goal to try to enjoy it. Usually I feel guilty about receiving presents or spending money on things I want to do or buy. The best thing to do is live in the moment and enjoy what is right in front of me and when I feel happy I shouldn't ruin it by worrying about what will happen next. This all sounds very centered and level headed, and that is how I feel right now but I dont' know how long it will last. Be in the moment! Yes, that's it.
