YOM M2
December 01, 2005 by Renee @ 10:44 AMDecember 1st. Yikes. Where did the year go? Seriously. On the one hand the year flew by, feels like just yesterday I was crafting my brand spanking new exercise plan and outlook for the year. It doesn't help that I prolly look the same as the start of the year. *sigh* A story I am so not looking forward to sharing, but I will.
As for personal development goes, November was pretty intense.

I think?
I was super early two weeks ago and think I lost week 3. Oh fugg it, how bout from now on I just skip the week # and make it a month thang? Kapeesh? While I'm @ it, may as well go ahead and make a new category. It's gonna be a long year.
The motivational quote I posted Wed really shifted something in my thinking. When last week started I was about to go to war w/a site that had stolen my content. Then mid week, the same night I found that quote, another blogger was ranting about a frustrating situation I also went thru a few months back. Reading her story dredged up so many painful feelings I ended up posting a long rant of my own.
Then I found the quote.

This week was pretty great. Coming off of the emotionally low point last weekend, things took an interesting turn. A lot of opportunities presented themselves early in the week and I'm still sorting everything out.
When good things, things I've been willing for months, happen back to back to back, it scares the bejeebus out of me. I was on sensory overload Tues & Weds trying to absorb it all.
Still riding on the high, I reached out to someone and as of now haven't heard back from them. I always take things like that as a sign of rejection (flashback). I have a safe unrelated story of what I put myself thru.

October 11, 2005 by Renee @ 11:20 AMTranslation: Year of Me Week 1. Highly doubtful I'll post 51 more of these things, but who knows how this'll play out.
The last 7 days have been an emotional rollercoaster. Just when I thought I hit my lowest emotional point, so many high points happened yesterday I'm still coasting from the rush.
One of the things I wanted to continue to work on during the YOM is to assert myself. A few years ago a book I read had assertion as a chapter. One of the steps was to start @ the grocery store. Ask for plastic, even if you normally accept paper. And each week work up to asserting oneself towards more and more people till you can go to the person you are most intimidated by and stand your ground.
I've been practicing w/the drive thru people.

So the days leading up to my bday, I did some deep thinking, more so than usual. I thought ahead to where I want to be a year from now and realized time is passing too quickly for me to be scared to follow my dreams and live the life I want to live. As I was thinking, the phrase in the title kept coming to mind and when I said it out loud, I got shiver.
I declared the next 365 days to be the 'Year of Me'.
