Please support me in my quest to become a more well-rounded person with a fulfilling and enriched way of living. This years 2010 resolution is designed to pursue just that cause. Many New Years resolutions die out as soon as the christmas tree gets tossed into the trash heap. This year, I propose to take on a series of 12 30 day challenges, all with the intention of creating a richer, healthier existence for myself. While some goals seem less ambitious than others, these are the pursuits I am interested in completing within this coming year. The ultimate goal being that I carry these challenges into my everyday life throughout 2010 and beyond. Follow along as I blog about my quest. Lets see how far I make it!!!

Proposed Challenges:

JANUARY: Dedicate self to finding full time work (portfolio work and networking)
FEBRUARY: No Soda
MARCH: Exercise
APRIL: Start a new blog I've been thinking about thanks to Peter Ross
MAY: Floss
JUNE: Love Life
JULY: No TV
AUGUST: Meditate
SEPTEMBER: Eat within 100 Miles
OCTOBER: Money Management/debt repayment/savings
NOVEMBER: Read
DECEMBER: Sing

Day 1 Monday

Okay, who knew it would happen like this? I did. I stayed up way too late last night, reading. Therefore I slept in way too long today, day one of my job hunt.
I know, excuses, excuses.
I needed motivation. I drank coffee. I started working on my freelance project, to get the ball rolling. I ended up doing that most of the day, all while talking on the phone with my mom, and my friend Shannon. Though Shan is in the same place as me, graduated, looking for work in the design industry, so you could call that "market research" I suppose.
But what it comes down to is how do I do this? How do I make my first move and what is my first move??? I have had three good job leads in the past 6 months and all of them have fallen flat, this is not good for the old confidence! It comes down to the fact that I'm scared. I have to put myself out there to get a big return, and thats scary. This is one of the reasons I set up the blog, because it gives me something or someone to answer to at the end of the day. And it sucks having to say I failed day 1 of my project. But I can only start over again. Tomorrow is a new day, isn't that what life is about?
I am working on the freelance project the next few days, because that was best for my clients schedule, and we have a lot of work to do. I will be back putting my best foot forward at the end of the week. sigh....
