NYC airport, 6:25pm
To do list for the next few weeks:
- Find peace in silence; stop replacing the absence of sounds with fillers and start listening to the present
- Find fulfillment in my own company; be conscious of feelings, thoughts, state of being. I will not run away from spending time on my own
- Find one beautiful thing a day and take conscious notice of it
- Be open to new experiences
- Find the sun
- Know that not everything will be perfect and that that is ok
- Know that I am not perfect and but can and will do my best and learn from past experiences
- Both the good and the bad moments are lessons
- It is ok to be lonely at times. That will be part of this adventure, too.
- Remember that I am loved – and find self love within this adventure
- Remember that I am doing this for myself; that this is a big step and I will grow as a result of pushing myself outside my comfort zone
- Remember that even if my greatest fear is to be lonely and cut off from others, and alone, the only way to overcome this fear is by putting myself on the edge of such a situation
- This is a part of transformation
- Remember that I am strong and I am ready for this
Challenges:
- Having limited resources
- Connections to people
- Ability to communicate
- Possessions
- Not knowing at all what to expect
- Feeling out of place and lonely
