The Well Considered Life

Ain't got there yet. Warning! Warning!

It's full on vacation, but if you aren't actually vacating from anything, it's just being lazy. Without a plan, I tend to go the wrong direction, and without social context, I don't self correct. All kinds of things are not being done, the worst two being reduction of MOOP (Matter Out Of Place) and DE (DietExercise). So I have breakfast at 3:30, never work out, and get very frustrated by little things.

Time to fix all that. Plan for tomorrow firmly in place. Written on my arm in indelible ink. HA! Ain't gonna lose that.

Life Coach?

OK, this might sound stupid, but what the hell...

Several years ago I learned about the existance of "life coaches". These are people who get paid to call you/visit you and check in on how you are doing and what you've gotten done since the last visit. The idea is that some folks need a coach so as to not feel "adrift" (best word I can think of). Kinda like a fighting-buddy-type friend who will pick you up and take you to practice on days when if left to you're own devices you'd just whimp out (not you personally, the generic "you").
I considered it, when Life Was Bad, but I could never justify the expense to myself. Just a thought...

Actually, I've had one for a while (a life coach), and she's been a real blessing - helps keep me on track, gives me "homework" to keep me moving, helps me focus a bit. And it wasn't too expensive!
