Season 1: Day 2: Institutionalized?

[Luke]

Hello all:

It's the second day of this challenge and so far hasn't gone as expected (since I didn't know what to expect to begin with). I have been noticing things that I need to do to "fix" things.

Interesting though that if we do something for too long we become too used to it and then fear changing.

Edit:

How these thoughts came about -

I was pondering how exactly I should be approaching this challenge and went upstairs and what was playing on the T.V. but Shawshank Redemption. It was during the scene where the prisoner who'd been a prisoner was let out and didn't know how to behave...that got me to thinking. If that's not a sign, I'm not sure what is...

Luke, If I can say one thing, it's tap into Beth who has reached out to you below. She has a good head on her shoulders and is great sounding board for me. Lean on us. That's what we are all her for. Courage!

This is definitely true. I was speaking to my husband about how dramatically I've changed in this journey and how he could to if he took it up and he said, "I know, but it's scary." Even when we are presented with a good opportunity, there is sometimes fear. After a while though, fear itself, in most things, is defeated.

So true. I wonder if it could work in a good way too? Like, getting so used to good habits, etc, so you more easily stay on track?

I agree 100% with that. I think that's where all of us are at.
