Wow, so much stuff is going on. I start university next Tuesday, I quit smoking weed over a month ago. I've been working on improving myself. Stuff like standing up for myself, learning to say no and not caring so much about what other people think of me. That's one of my biggest problems, that I care too much about what others think of me. I'm working on letting that go, I'm doing what I want now.
It hasn't been easy. Breaking habits is a hard thing to do, but at least I'm aware of what I want to change and I'm practicing it.
I've been more proactive lately, instead of waiting around for things to come to me I'm going out and getting them myself. For example, just a week ago I was anxious about University, the thought of it was stressing me out, but these past few days I went down to the University and got things done. I got my student ID and mandatory texts for the courses. I registered for computer access on campus. No one told me to do that stuff, I mean obviously not lol It's University, time to be 100% responsible for myself. I was satisfied that I looked up the information and went out and got it. It was scary at first trying to find rooms and where to go, but I did it. I'm happy about that, it was a moment of independance. It's like "Hey!!! I can do this!" I'm not going to let fear control me anymore!
I'm also self-cheerleading these days. My habitual negative thinking was getting me no where and negative thoughts only promote negative emotions.
Oh ya one more thing, self-caring and being conceited are not the same thing. It's important to take care of yourself.
Adios for now!
