It is clear what my patterns are now.

I am sitting with the wisdom and pain of this knowledge.

9 days are left on this 37 days challenge.

Have patterns emerged for you?

I’ve learned the belief I’ve carried since I was tiny – “I’m all alone” – is still here, and still affects my actions.

I’ve learned that despite getting stuck, avoiding, going in reverse, stalling – despite all that, overall, I’m moving forward. Despite my own self. I’m a blue chip stock – ups and downs, but in the big picture? I persevere.

Funny you should mention this today. I just posted some of my reflections on my experience so far and how my daily regimen of physical activity reflects how I operate in the world at large.

Interesting stuff, this…

It is much easier to commit to things you enjoy doing.

All of our computers went down at work, and our tech guy had to retrain? the main server, and all the staff computers. I had been kind of in awe of all the screen saver slide shows my coworkers had, and since most of my textile work seems to involve working with spirals, I googled spirals. My slide show now has paintings, stairways, jewelry, seashells, 9 minutes of 5 second pictures of circling, swirling spirals. If I look too long, I want to vomit, but now, thinking about MY pattern, this is the way it is, some go up, some down, but they move, they keep moving.

I try to catch up, really want the perfect track record…

Sometimes the good option, the only possible option, is to just start right where I am, right now.

I have learned that I excel at distraction and inconsistancy. I’m amazing at excuses and even better at making broad-sweeping logical jumps of reason. Particularly surprising, apparently I’m great with multi-tasking.

What’s next? I’d like to to become amazing at consistancy and impossible to distract from a goal. I’m love to get really good at NOT making excuses or broad-sweeping logical jumps of reason. Lastly – I like to become an expert at focusing fully on a single goal.

I have mostly learned that I am a work in progress and I’m already planning my next 37days challenge! :-)
