With my design projects,
illustrations and writing projects, I will have enough to fill in my spare
time. I have capped myself though, as I do not want to overload.
I have a healthy workload right now that will prevent me from getting stuck
in a rut, which also prevents depression, at least for me.
Two things keep me emotionally
intact pretty much no matter what is going on in life. Number one is
exercise. I love to exercise. I stopped doing it to be "skinny"
and started doing it to feel good, and the weight dropped! (See Jan.
2003) It's a great outlet and helps keep things in perspective...i.e.
things people say or do don't irritate me nearly as badly.
Number two is journaling.
I encourage you to journal, even if you think you can't write, or if you
don't think you do it "right"...try it. Sometimes I don't even keep a
traditional journal, I'll put an invitation to a party or something in a
notebook, almost like a scrapbook. In my opinion, the purpose of a
journal is to become more self aware so that you can become the person you
want to be.
It's the one place I don't have
to be polite or proper. It's MY journal! I can leave out
punctuation, use incorrect grammar...whatever.
So, try it! Keep a journal, perhaps not an online one like this, but a
journal of your own. Do something different, something that works for
YOU!

I am a Hero.
You are true heroic material. You find great motivation in the things you love, and great inspiration in your sense of self-confidence, and your excellence. Once you get your mind set on a goal, you are nearly unstoppable, and given enough time, you will meet it.
What kind of Warrior are you? |
