Fresh Start Here

Ok it's officially November 9th! Woo Hoo!! One day after my birthday and the first day of my new intention experiment!

The more I've thought about the year I'm embarking on the more I've decided it is contrived and ridiculous. BUT, it is, in all it's flaws, my contrivance. Whether or not you agree that we can change our psychology through changing our behavior it is my choice to make. Honestly, I'm not sure either. All I know is I want change. And the only way to do that is to start with me. I can't move to a new location. I can't take a huge trip (which would have been my first choice) and I can't change my job. So I'm left with only me in all of my obligations and life struggles.

Here's the plan :

I will not date for one year

in that time I will pour all that negative/lonely energy into self actualizing behavior.

Month 1 : Attitude Gratitude Month

I will make a list of everything I'm thankful for each night before bed.
This is important because that's when I feel like something is missing in my life, at night.

Month 2 : I will make eye contact and smile to the people I encounter on the street.
This may seem silly but I believe it will help me connect to others outside of my friend base. This will be done within reason. I still live in SF.

Month 3 : Volunteer month
I hope to give back a little or as much as I can during this month.

Month 4-12 : TBA

I hope that I can be a better person when I'm finished. If that means I've changed a lot or a little, it doesn't matter. I want to see what happens when you choose to do things differently.
