February. It's been a long time. Though I don't pressure myself to regularly update this blog, I do think it's reflective of my current state that I haven't taken the time to write for a while. I've been caught up in a lot of things lately - school, future plans, relationships - and haven't reserved that space for processing where I am at the present moment.
I spent 24 hours this weekend just for me: no phone calls, no email, virtually no talking, no distractions. I took the time to reflect on the disjointed aspects of myself that have been haphazardly plunging along for the past few months, and to consciously evaluate where I'm at. Although it sounds cheesy, I actually wrote down my priorities, goals, and vision this weekend, and I found the process to be incredibly grounding. I reproduce my vision here for a few reasons. First, I hope you will encourage me as I pursue this vision and be a part of the inevitable ups and downs along the way. Second, I feel the need to publish my vision to keep me honest and committed to it. Finally, I hope it will inspire you to take the time you deserve to reflect on your own journey.
.....................
I will be fully engaged in every aspect of my life. I will care for myself, others, and the earth. I will give back to my community with humility.
I will be active, curious, adventurous, grounded, and balanced. I will be in tune with my needs, values, and goals. I will pursue physical, emotional, mental, intellectual, and social health.
I will seek continually deeper connections with those around me. I will value the differences in others. I will be open-minded, attentive, and honest with myself and others.
I will play. I will see beauty. I will be thankful. I will be present in this moment.
