I have continued week 2 with excitement and continued commitment. I noticed that I wake up with an excitement for the day, that I did not have before. Peaceful happiness lays just below the surface at all times.

Things at work that frustrated me last week, I find slightly amusing this week. I have a different perspective, and find myself not letting things that annoy me distract me. Instead, I turn back to my work, and tell myself to stay in my lane. I remind myself that I am on a journey and to stay focused on myself and not to worry about what others are doing around me.

I have missed a couple readings, and I need to be sure that doesn’t happen again. I know that I need that time, 3 times a day, to redirect my focus. This is work I am doing on me… my soul, my being. THIS work is what is important right now! This work is for my future and for everything I have dreamed about.

I submitted my second version of my DMP. Again, I did not add my “sacrifice” I need to put in. I’m having a hard time figuring that out. I know there are things I have already started to give up to make time for this class. But to completely “give up” something is hard. Can’t I just minimize something instead of giving it up all together? Lol. I will need to really take a look inside myself this week and find that sacrifice. It’s time to take the next step of commitment to this journey!
