My goal from last month has been going very well (flossing: easy right?), and though I'm not exercising as much as I'd like I am still doing a decent amount of running, and a lot of walking now that the weather is starting to get warm. However I need a May goal, and I think I've found it.
Zen Habits is a blog written by a guy who just had a lot of things about his life that he decided he didn't like. So he went about changing them, and through a variety of successes and failures he developed quite a bit of wisdom on how to make sustainable behavior changes. I've posted links to his site before, but this one is one I need right now: A Simple Guide to Being Present.
I've been having a lot of stress recently, related to work. Irrational stress that comes at me in waves like a panic attack. Sometimes I can feel it in my chest, sometimes it's in my stomach, and in the worst times I can feel my brain hot and pounding. When it happens I feel removed from what's going on around me. There's no real reason for me to feel this way, and if I can practice being in the moment, I think it will help.
So I'm making that my goal for May: Keep my mind in the present, enjoy the sensation of real experiences, and don't let memories or irrationally imagined future events get a hold of me.

i think i may join you on this one.
the more the merrier! better for the creativity too. I think a lot of times I'm inspired by whatever sensations I'm feeling. If I'm ignoring all of that and focusing on stress, there goes my inspiration.
i'm joining as well!
