I tend to let my "machine" go on overload for too long. I don't take time to meditate, write in my journal, take a long walk, go do some exercise, or any of those things that helps us stay balanced and sane and healthy.

I need to schedule that into my day just as much as the other stuff, with equal importance, if I'm going to make the most of life.

I also seem to be more reclusive than I used to be (safer). I'd like to learn to take more social risks, get out and meet people more, develop a community for myself of folks who like the same things I do. I think this makes life richer, but I don't do it because I'm too shy and too lazy.

(And Elana, could be me but I don't think this is really 180 degrees off Teke's thread. I think this too is part of self-love ----- recognizing the areas where we want to grow ourselves, in a tender and non-judgemental way, and steering ourselves in that direction.)

Love,
GL
