My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • On Monday, I had my sixth session with Karen, which left me feeling really excited and inspired to focus my attention on a few matters. Our talk centered around my perceptions of debt. While I generally don’t stress about my debt because I just don’t really think about it, it does always linger in the back of my mind and causes me to feel a certain negative way. We looked at it as…

  • A while back, I wrote about a book by Jeff Goins about his journey into writing. One of the first things he says is that to be a writer, you have to start telling people and thinking that you are a writer. In my last session with Karen (more on that coming), I really focused on the fact that I truly want to be a writer. It’s something I have dreamed about doing…

  • After having some scheduling troubles over the weekend, I had my fifth session with Karen on Saturday. Usually, she doesn’t work on weekends, but to ensure that we stay on track she kindly made an exception given my little time mix-up on Friday. 😀 So, we focused mostly on money matters this session. Her motto was “Be, Do, Have”. If you are what you want to be and act accordingly, then you will…

  • A lot has happened in the past two sessions that it is a little hard to keep up, but I will try to get to the gist of them. Session 3: I was supposed to write 25 things that I am proud of about myself and I got to about 14 on my own. My focus was on things that I had done, but not really anything about who I am. In the…

  • Well, if I had thought that I had somehow gotten rid of the bipolar tendencies, the last couple of weeks have reminded me that no medication or denial will remove the reality. 😐 So, I’ve been on a bit of a downward spiral, but think I am pulling myself back up before totally hitting bottom, we shall see. In any case, I have been on a reboot of my mind this past week…

  • So…Thursday night was planned to be a big and fun night. It was both big and fun, but the fun did not last that long…. There are very few couples with whom R and I go out with regularly. Over the years, he’s chosen to alienate us from a few of previous ones we used to spend time with and while I’ve worked hard to maintain friendships it starts to become a challenge…

  • Last night was my second official session with Karen. I did have a follow-up session last week for the first session because it was more like a trial session and she wanted to give me a taste before I agreed to go fully with the program. So, last night was the second one. There is a general pattern that she follows and works through, which is good so that I sort of know…

  • Okay, so I’ve been pretty good lately working on my dissertation. I was making some pretty good progress, but now I’m back to having to find articles, read and write, which bores me to tears. I am starting to feel like maybe I can just make do without the whole PhD thing. I mean, loads of people have and they seem just fine. Would it really be so bad if I just give…

  • For some time I have been wanting to spend a day at this beautiful looking beach club. However, it’s a bit on the expensive side to get a sun lounger or a cabana for the day. Since I decided not to go anywhere during this holiday and had set aside just a bit of money to spend and enjoy the ‘staycation’, P and I decided to spend a day. Here’re some of the…

  • Something that I have been pondering lately is my lack of ability to respond quickly to the questions – “What do you think?” or “How do you feel about x?” When I respond with “I don’t know”, it honestly means I do not know; not “I just don’t want to say what I know”, which is probably what most people mean. I have noticed that this phenomenon is clearer to me since being on…
