New Days

They never get old, unity with variety. The same old with a new twist. Same day, everyday, a new day. Have you mastered your day yet?

Routines: including calligraphy, typing, reading, writing, researching? what's that? musicianship

subsets - guitar subsets - sight reading, technical exercise.. composition, ear training, could take up a lot of time, if I were to establish a daily routine that includes all that I know would benefit from daily practice.

focus, goals

consequences

needs analysis ie. what does the world need from me? What am I into? How do I respond? Effective behavior directed toward problem solving - the attainment of goals, achievements.


I might be able to create a large list of goals, I dream very big. It could be possible to accomplish all these goals.
Even the goals which include time? Deadlines?

These goals create pressure. The fear of failure! oh no, I'd almost rather not set them.

Effective introspection builds confidence by training the individual to be attracted towards desireable circumstance.

I've been reading a paper on the characteristics of an effective internal dialogue used for the acquisition of self-information in the process of problem-solving.

The three major characteristics that lend to effective self-talk as defined by the author are: Taking other people's perspectives, vocabulary used in describing the self, and paying attention to the content of our internal dialogue: self-monitoring.

I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I've successfully completed a majority of the tasks I set out to accomplish today: unpacking, post office, banking has been delayed until tomorrow, but I was still able to pay my bills.

I'm blogging.

I have time to go to the gym, and an evening that has yet to be planned. I would like to plan my evening now.

I have groceries yet to retrieve. I look silly. I'm slim. I'm hungry.

Simple thoughts. Readings on social skills and balance in relationships.

Helpful information, I feel as though I am growing as a person. Are these types of acctivities research activities? I think so.

Honestly, I'm thinking about the girl. Hmm.. it's probably not healthy to push out the world around me when I'm caught up in strategizing or fantasy. The opportunity to implement even the most solid plan.. There are opportunities present in the now I steadily prepare to take advantage of. I am looking forward to being in love, a reciprocating smile, being held, nurturing... I wonder if I should change my image? My hairstyle? My clothes? My footwear? My accesories? I can change them. I should be attractive. Can I change them all? Would this be beneficial? Am I focusing on a strength or a weakness? My image? My image is a symptom of a much deeper cause. My image is caused by my behavior. It is my behavior which I must master.

I appear healthy, and fit. My clothes are not very expensive. My shoes are old and worn. My hair is getting longer. I like my hair colour. I have body hair. Objectified. How do these observations affect me? Psychologically? The conclusion is a long time coming.

How did I respond? I looked, I typed, I self-disclosed way too much way too soon. Did I? Seems so. Far too emotional. I'm learning, and that makes me feel good.
