You're absolutely right about changing my routine. I tend to drag my feet in that department. I've been meaning to start running regularly, went a few times two weeks ago, but its tough to force myself when its 10 degrees out and icy. No excuses the next two days though it'll be a warm 55 degrees. Tomorrow will be a change in routine also as I'm teaching a piano lesson and going to a friend's place for dinner.
That's great! Changing one's routine can be a major challenge, I know, but the rewards are definitely worth it (assuming you're changing it for the better). And sometimes almost any change is good, just to get out of a rut. So consider this a bit of encouragement to go for it and stick with any positive changes.

I feel the same way about a new me over the past year. Maybe we're emerging from this 1/3rd life crisis my sister told me about. Do you feel a little more disciplined, a little more accepting of things as they are? That's how I would describe my change. A step closer, yet still very far from the me I'd like to become.
Hmm, I've never heard of that. Interesting. I haven't particularly been in crisis this past year, but perhaps the change is a result of internalizing and overcoming past crises. I am definitely more accepting of things as they are--almost infinitely so. I'm probably less disciplined, though.

I think I don't need as much as I used to, though. I no longer rely on discipline to keep me going.
I'm glad to hear you're becoming more the person you'd like to be. ^_^
