I had several little wins this week. The first was that I successfully completed
several of the items on my weekly list of goals. There were others that I did not complete at
all and a few more that I only give myself partial credit for. I’m looking forward to adding a few items to
next week’s list, to keep this new goal oriented mentality going.
The second was that I successfully went to a social event by
myself. I consider myself to be rather
socially awkward, and I’m kind of thinking that it’s mostly in my head. I have an anxiety about going out by myself
and being able to talk to people. What
if they think I’m weird? What if they don’t
like me? What if they find me
uninteresting? And, what if I stand
there with no one to talk to!? Thus, I
normally end up talking myself out of it.
To by honest my socializing was mild at this event. I chose a canvas and wine event where you can
go and paint a picture with people while drinking wine. I figured that even if I didn’t meet anyone
or no one wanted to talk to me I would just paint my picture. At least I wouldn’t be standing there with
nothing to say and no one to talk to, right?
My next goal is to actually go to a bar and see if I can continue
pushing myself.
Lastly, I graduated to 5 pound weights this week! I’ve been doing some arm exercises with only
2 pounds and have found that I wasn’t feeling my workouts as much as I used
to. I successfully completed an arm
workout with my 5 pounders this morning, and I’m feeling the burn. It feels awesome!! I love that feeling of knowing that I worked
hard and pushed myself past what was within my comfort zone.
