Gneech Report, Monday the 29th of January
Today was full of much stuff. A lot of it was related to the creation of the Coaching business, such as getting a quote on liability insurance, connecting with a local small biz accountant, and so on, but a lot was also involved in art and convention stuff, including sending off panel proposals to FurTheMore and AnthroCon, dealing with convention logistics, and so forth. I also spoke to Teiran about a new art/book project idea– about which more later this week.
We also picked up some special food for Dasher, had some yummy fried shrimp for dinner ourselves, and tried mochi for the first time. Long story short: we weren't super-impressed. It didn't suck, but it wasn't something we're eager to try again.
I rounded off the evening by writing up my top twenty affirmations or self-reminders on Post-It Notes, which are now stuck across the bottom of my monitor so I can review them at will. I can hear some peoples' eyes rolling at that idea from here, but I don't care, I think they're a great idea. We spend our lives, and especially our young lives, being told all kinds of stupid crap over and over by our parents, the television, social media, and so on, and our brains just suck all that up like a sponge. If I'm going to have my brain taking in messages from the outside, then I want those messages to be positive and reinforce the thoughts, plans, and ideas that are meaningful and useful for me.
Some of them are simple and obvious choices, like "Where Gneeches go, parties follow!" Others are reminders of things I want to be grateful for and keep in mind, especially as I move forward into new projects that will be taking me out of my current comfort zone. One of them is the pretty basic "Have you updated Dreamwidth today?" ...hence this post. ;) I mentioned on Twitter a few days ago that I was taking small steps in order to build up to big changes, and this is one of them.
Since this post is here, I'd say it's working. ;)
Anyway, now I'm off to get some sleep. It's been a day. Gnite world, and have an awesome tomorrow, even (and especially) if you have to make it one, yourself.
