This was great. Thanks! I think I might start keeping a journal again, especially to jot down the writing ideas I have. The other day I forgot one, which sucks.
One book which I am finding really helpful right now is The Practicing Mind. I used to be so disciplined in college. Over the years I've slowly lost it and now I'm building it from the ground up. Since I feel like I'm "good at writing" now, it feels so tedious and like the universe is telling me to quit, whereas the first time I did it, I was less self-conscious and just having fun. Trying to get back to that, and to treat my improved talent as a blessing not a sign that something is wrong.
I've probably been pimping this book out too much lately, but when I listened to it (the audio is only 95 cents!), all I could think about was the keto process: http://smile.amazon.com/Practicing-Mind-Developing-Focus-Discipline-ebook/dp/B007C8NRSA :)
And also, same here. One day it just hit me--this is going to take a long time, and that's okay. Time will pass whether I am getting healthier or not, so I may as well keto on. I've made real changes to my lifestyle this time. I will never go back to eating how I used to.
