I'm trying an experiment. I want to be better.
I think it's in the spirit of starting school in a new place, where few know me, where I have this chance to bring forth only the best parts of me.
The only way I can achieve the goals I have set to be the best possible version of myself is if I make them timely and attainable (not to mention specific, measurable, and realistic). And the only way I can make them all those things is if I first put them out in the Universe. I'm not yet ready to remodel my goalboard from lululemon. Here's my Make-Shift, Putting it out in the Inner Tubes of the Universe Goal List for September.
I hope to inspire you, I hope you enjoy.
1. I finish reading the following: Julie & Julia by Julie Powell (1/2 way done), Barrel Fever by David Sedaris, and You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers.
2. I read every last word of my homework assignments and do the appropriate writing/responding involved (seeing as all my homework seems to be reading a couple hundred pages each night and responding to it).
3. I have an internship at the Chico News & Review or other literary/newsworthy magazine in or near Chico.
4. I go to yoga at least once a week, I go to the gym 4 times a week. I hike somewhere green once a week.
This fall, I am challenging myself to not only complete these goals, but to pay attention to the shifts in my chi. To take note of the changes of heart, the things I care about doing now, and the things I care about doing in a month. I want to see what's going to happen on the inside as well as the outside. I want to face myself, and watch myself as I move far beyond my present perceived boundaries. Maybe this isn't just a list of shit to challenge myself with. Maybe it's a quest within the deepest parts of my soul. Maybe I'm just nuts.
Let's check these out in October. :)
