The big work for myself this week: keep myself focused on the present. That has always been a problem of mine. When I am in a break up situation, such as the one I am going through now, I have a tendency to stay stuck in the past, going over and over events in my head, wondering if things would have turned out better if only I did this, or if only I did that. Well, at least I've been at this long enough to know that no matter what I could or would have done, it would have ended up in the same place eventually, because this is where I am supposed to be, right now.
Then, of course, to try to escape my present predicament, I focus on the future. I'm going to be better, smarter, happier, etc. And that could all be true, but it won't be if I don't work on myself, right now.
10-20 sit ups in one day aren't a lot, but over time they will help me tone up to where I am comfortable in my jeans. Going to one self help meeting may not make a big change in my life, but over time, if I keep myself open to what I am there to learn, and continue to attend, I can become a much better person. And one resume sent out to the area of the country where I want to move may not get me to where I want to be, but with time and research, I can become open to having dreams come true.
