Random self-improvement notes
May. 29th, 2009 01:37 amMy thighs aren't bumping into each other anymore, even when I make a deliberate effort to walk with one foot in front of the other. This is a significant step of progress that's happened much faster than I was expecting it, based on previous experiences losing weight and getting in shape.
It would be nice to see progress on the belly fat, but I'm expecting that to be the slowest thing. However, I'll be open to good news there too, because I'm like that.
Voice practice is going surprisingly well, too. I think I'm getting some spillover benefit from recent weeks' sinus rinsing and its clearing out of much more old accumulated congestion than I'd ever suspected. I'm consciously feeling the internal dynamics of my head in more detail than anytime since...probably since college, as I consider it. In any event, I'm doing quite well at shaping a good head tone, and there have been a couple of moments when it's really sounded to me like a real voice. Moments, of course. The real thing will take much much much more practice. But encouraging developments early on are good for my morale.
It's so weird having nails long enough that I notice them when I type. I must start coloring them. Anyone got a favorite vendor of hypoallergenic nail polishes?
I continue coming out to more of my friends, and getting more good responses. Each such success makes it easier to think about the next one.
Sundry things bug me and lade me down with woe, sure. But it's good to have a lot of good news to gather up, too.
