Progress report - January 5 Actions that I took today: - Paid a few bills though my bank's website. - Created an account on LibraryThing and started adding my library there. I'm aiming to complete this task in 1 week. - Looked up swimming pools in my area. I'm planning to go mid-day tomorrow. - Read some Taoism materials online. - Cooked a vegan meal to last several days. - Began watching a documentary called "97% Owned" about the instability and unfairness in the financial system due to money creation by private banks. - Returned 3 books to the library (2 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy books and one by philosopher Derrida - none of which I read, in spite of my intentions). - Wrote a journal entry for the day. Listed 5 gratitudes for the day. - About to continue reading Freud's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle". I'm planning to get through the second chapter by the end of today. - Planning to call a friend on the drive back from the library and arrange to go out with her tomorrow night if she is free. Actions left to take: - Come up with a strategy to reconnect with my old university. - Make a longer post on the spirituality forum. Come up with a few questions to ask there. - Look up volunteer opportunities. - Arrange for Tesla test drive. New actions to take: - List 5 gratitudes each day. - Why: this will remind me of the positive things in my life. |

Progress report Actions I took: - I posted a question on an Eastern spirituality forum. I'm getting to know the community. I feel excited about sharing my experience there in the future. - I've been journaling daily. Actions I still need to take: - Volunteer. I have some resistance to this. I have old cultural ideas about the pointlessness of volunteering. Also I don't want to step out of my comfort zone and do something new. - Arrange for Tesla test drive. I have the agent's contact but have not followed up yet. Perhaps I feel some shame: in the short term I am not able to buy a Tesla. But then, being able to buy a car is not a prerequisite for going for a test drive. New actions to take on my commitment: - Consider starting a blog for each of my interests. This would help me organize my experiences, ideas and research. It would also connect me with others with similar interests. - Re-establish contact with my university. This would help me rekindle connections that I've abandoned. It would also help me resolve some issues that I left outstanding. - Start exercising regularly, for example swimming. This would keep me active and engaged with the world. It might also help me meet new people. |
