I'm trying to make an effort to live a less stressed life. I'm not really sure how that's going to work because I love productive stress (procrastinating for papers, working in emergencies etc) but I think I need to get rid of the nonproductive stress for sure. The difficulty is knowing which is which.
For instance: Xanga. Ah yes, Xanga. So much of what I read makes me angry, which is counter-productive except for the fact that I am motivated by anger. ...perhaps I need different motivation. Well, yes, now that I've written that it appears insanely obvious. I need new, better motivation. Clearly.
As I have some extra time coming up now that I'm in practicum and only have one class, both of which end in the middle of June, two months before I'll be starting work, I have some goals to try and accomplish. I'll never do them if I don't write them down and have people know about them so here goes.
1. New motivation.
2. Learn to sail
3. Exercise...weekly (oh I'm such a slacker)
4. Re-establish my belief system. I've had too many strangers in recent months telling me what I believe. And most of them are wrong but they're so loud and persistent and confusing that I've forgotten why they're wrong. I have to go back to people I trust. CS Lewis, Brother Andrew, Stasi Eldgridge, Ted Dekker...and of course God.
Seeing as 4 is majorly huge and 1-3 will take up their fair share of time as well, I think that's enough for now.
Oh, I saw Seven Pounds today. It was AH-MAZING! Seriously. If I could buy stock in Will Smith I would. He never dissappoints. I totally hope I could be the type of person he played in this film. (Minus the guilt and depression.)
