Day 33, 7:37 - 7:40
I’ve fallen behind. It’s all finals’ fault. But really I’ve just encountered and fallen prey to the inertia that always hits me after I’ve gotten into a project.
I start with the best intentions of following through, and then after an inspired beginning, maybe even middle, I give up before the end.
Why is that? Why is it so hard to keep up momentum? How can we keep it going?
As for good things that happened today, I had a relaxing morning with coffee outside one of my favorite cafes. I worked with international students and made videos so they could share their inspiring stories.
I came to the conclusion that I want to live in a new country come fall. Why not? We should do the things that scare and exhilarate us most, right?

Day 32, 5/8, 10:42 - 10:49
Reflecting on good things that happened today....
Breakfast was divine. A garden omelette with broccoli, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, beans, peas, and cheddar cheese. Two cups of coffee that left me vibrating slightly, but in a good way.
I spent the next fews, several, many hours writing papers. I went to one of my town’s public libraries for the first time, and realized that I never go to public libraries. Not really since I was a child. Age of the Kindle, I suppose.
Tonight I conducted an Immunity to Change map with a friend, identifying her personal improvement goal, identifying her competing behaviors, uncovering her hidden commitments. Things got real. She was totally open to going deep and rooting out her personal fears and anxieties. So much intriguing discussion.
I also finished reading Quiet. I could honestly start over and read it again. I think I highlighted about every other sentence, because it resonated with me so much. If you are introverted, extroverted, or anywhere in between (basically, if you are a human), I 10,000% recommend that you read this book.

In almost every corner of the world, women are either completely written out of school books, or they're portrayed in stereotypical, subservient roles, a report says. What will it take to fix this?

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” - Shakespeare
I’ve been thinking a lot today about self-doubt and the extent to which I let it shape my choices and daily activities. I’ve also been thinking about how to rein it in and not let it prevent me from accomplishing my short and long-term goals.
Today was warm and a few trees had pink blossoms (it’s all about that bloom). My sister and I went hiking in a nature reserve. We ordered veggie pizza and ate in the sunshine.
Then I came home to write. Why does writing scare me? Why is it so alluring and so frightening at the same time? Why is it such a struggle?

How international experiences can open the mind to new ways of thinking

Day 30, 4/21, 9:57 - 10:02
I’m thinking about experiences or lessons that change the way you view the world.
That’s a huge shift. One that seems so obvious as you grow up, but becomes harder and harder to detect as you move into adulthood. Of course we’re still developing, but the growth is harder to see.
Most days, I tell myself the same stories over and over again. The same responsibilities, the same concerns, the same sense of “who I am” and “what I’m doing.” To be honest, I’m quite bored of it.
I feel like I want to learn more, see more, taste more, do more, so I have some new experiences to sort through, some new ideas to entertain.
I want to drink in the world and let it repaint the colors of my mind.

Pondering Division
I feel a division between my personal and public self. Between who I am at home and who I am at work (or school). Between who I “truly” am and who I am in less familiar situations, or at least those that feel unsafe, awkward, or formal.
"Business casual” feels like a costume I hate to wear.
I’m not sure if the goal should be to accept this as natural, try to become less divided, or try to obtain a flexible, creative job that breaks down the barriers between home and work (like freelancing). That’s what I really want to do, but is that running and hiding from some sort of necessary adult development?
Or does our generation simply no longer accept the slow torture of the 9 to 6?
