Siblings visit

So, yesterday I worked the 1h30min I had promised I would, which is good.

Today I didn't establish any mini-action. Partially because it was a busy day, with my siblings visit. But, of course, that shouldn't be an excuse...

I'll be back tomorrow.

Introduction

I'm 31 years old, and my life is stagnated. There is so much that I would like to do and experience, and yet, I do nothing... Or almost nothing.

The reasons for this are probably varied, but if I had to summarize them, they might look like this:

- I have a strong tendency to live inside my head - I'm a mental wanderer and have to almost force myself to engage with the 'real' physical world;

- I believe I'm a highly sensitive person, which means my nervous system processes inner and outer stimulus very deeply - which makes engaging with the world a very intense and frequently painful experience;

- Well, I'm scared. I'm scared of making mistakes, of hurting myself, and of hurting other people...

I need to take real and concrete steps in my very real and concrete life. I need to move. I can't spend my whole life inside my head, thinking about life and, well... Rarely engaging with life.

So I decided to create this one year project, that will be all about taking (meaningful) action. I'm not sure yet how I'm going to do this, but I'll start by laying out some initial principles. Here they are:

- I must write here every single day for a year, starting today (even if just one sentence);
- I'll give myself assignments, which I'll be calling 'mini-actions', that I will put in practice and report about here;
- The 'mini-actions' must be 'real physical' actions, i.e., 'reflection about issue X', for example, doesn't count as an action.

To start well, I'll give myself my first mini-action. Today I must work at least 1h30min on my PhD (yes, there's a long overdue PhD...) - I've been working only about half an hour per day! Let's see how it goes.

See you tomorrow!
