So, I’ve been looking around here for a wile. After my 100days of exercise finished I really didn’t know I if were to stay or what to do here. But now, today, I thought I would open up my Journal of your Journey. Maybe because I really like to here with all of you. And maybe because I am on a journey, (hey, we all are!) to a more fulfilling life, including moving and a whole lot of other things.
So today is the day that I open up this journal, and begin to share with you what’s inside of my head ....well… after I’ve gone for my morning run
This night I had a strange dream, well not so strange, but I dreamed about running. I was running, as fast as I could, just running and running. Don’t get me wrong, It was a nice dream, the sun was shining and I was out running in the dream. This have never happened before though - me dreaming about running. Something that can explain this dreaming is, that last night before bedtime, my boyfriend was watching some TV. It was a program about, let see...food, they traveled around in Italy, and tasted all kinds of food. Well, every time the showed pictures of the nature around, (Beautiful!!), I said, “Hey, wouldn’t that be a nice place to be at and go out for a run in the early morning”. I think my mind have got hungup on running, and I wouldn’t say that I am a runner, I am a want-to-be-a-runner maybe, or you can say that my journey to become a runner has begun.
Well anyway, This morning run I toke today was here at home (not in Italy ) it was nice, I just love to run in the morning! I feel so free and at ease. Now it is only the rest of the day left to make great I need to do some lawn-mowing and a whole lot of other things, so I’ll see you later!
Makes sense that you had running on the brain, and that you were dreaming about it. I am a wannabe runner too. (Can’t run because of my knees, but I admire people who run, and I wish I could.)
Thanks Paula! It is nice to be back.
Well Laura, I have learned along the way the my knees isn’t so excited about running if I over do it. I can’t run on asphalt, then my knees begin to hurt.
Yes it was a nice dream Bree, and I am going to try to have fun, and it is nice to have some company on the way
June 29 6:33 in the morning
Yesterday I was thinking a lot about, dreams, goals and visions. I thought I would write a list here about some of them. The problem was that I didn’t get anywhere, I mean I don’t know what my “life-vision” is! I just don’t know, I want to have one though. So I begun to think about, what do I like to do. And I realized I didn’t know at all. This led to only more confusing thoughts about life. I am sorry to say that I don’t know what my life vision is about, what my dreams are, I just don’t know Anyone here that knows how to get a life-vision? I know this maybe doesn’t make any sense, but this is me, all down to the bottom right now. I wish I had a dream. So I would know what to go for, and do it with my whole heart. But here I am, sitting down in my chair and writing this, with no clue about what is to come, or what I want to come to me. I’ve seen the movie The Secret and I understand what they are saying, but if I don’t know what I want, it isn’t going to get any better! (I guess you have to aim your energy at something?!) I know I want a better and more fulfilling life, but that’s it! I don’t know in which way or in what field or anything, I don’t know....
There is a book here in Sweden named “Women who thinks to much”, I haven’t read it, but I feel that right now, to many thoughts are in my mind. I have rubble going to sleep because it is like a highway in my mind - thoughts running around like crazy. Well, I just don’t know anything it seems like
You need to go on a rant. Talk to yourself, asking why to every single thing that comes out, and just talk. What do you want to be? Who do you want to be? What do you want to accomplish? Then why for all of them. Talk it out past the point of absurdity. You’ll have to push yourself past what feels comfortable in talking it out, but you’ll find out all sorts of information about yourself. Just be honest in your answers, this is for you, no one else. Can’t wait to read what you discover.
I have been thinking a lot since last time I was here. Thanks Bree for your help. I sat down and wrote down all I could think off. It was hard. I had to struggle to get the thoughts outside my head, but I have to understand why,and what. I have been feeling really bad for these lasts weeks so I hope this is the beginning of feeling better. During this “journey” I realized many things and here are some of them:
1. Enjoy everyday. Make everyday the best day. This maybe sound silly or like a cliché, but for me it is true. If I don’t know where I’m going, I at least have to enjoy the journey.
2. More about the journey. I read the book “The monk and the riddle” and I realized that LIFE is the Journey, It has no goal at the end, it is the journey that we are supposed to enjoy. So no.1 is really true if you believe this.
3. I don’t need to know everything right now. - I will find my purpose along the way, “relax, it is okej - kind off thinking” Life doesn’t stop just because I don’t know want I want, keep on moving.
4. Who do I want to be? - Imagen the future me, not who I am now - who I want to be, and how I want to feel
5. Always focus on the positive side of ...everything - I’ll be a more happy person I think
Those are great insights, Karyn. Maybe you are living your perfect life already. You are striving to feel the beauty in each moment, and be a positive person. You are probably on the right path for you if you don’t see another path that seems more right. And that may all change later, and an opportunity may present itself and you’ll just know that’s its right. Be open to life, feel happy and show your thankfulness for all the blessings you have, and I believe life will show you the right way. I hope that made sense.
I am sorry to say I don’t have a perfect life. I am a student and own my own home-based business, but I don’t know where I’m going with my studies and my business. So that’s because I am a little bit confused…

How, How got in the way of the vision and was re-found in the rain
Today was my running day. Lucky me (?!) it was raining and I had the opportunity to learn how it feels to run in rain.
Strangely during this very very vet run I realized something that I have been waiting for to come to me. Maybe a part of my vision.
“I want to bring the message of health and nutrition out to the world” this through out my business. For some time I doubted myself on this point. Is this really what I want? Is this meant for me to do? Do I have the right experience? and HOW am I supposed to do it? This little, but where powerful HOW has been bugging me so much lately so I have lost track of the vision. I became more and more doubtful and confused because I’d lost my vision… and all this I found out during this rainy run. Isn’t that something? The law of attraction doesn’t care about how it is going to happen I think, I just have to believe it and make it my dream. Now I know I can do it and I am going to do it, I have regained my dream, I feel really happy now. I know I have to keep my mind in place, so it won’t go astray again and only think about the HOW.
This place I have here at the MTM Community is really good. I can ventilate my thoughts and get good advice from all off you. I don’t think I would have re-found my vision without your help. Thank you all, especially you Bree!
Moving
SO moving on to the topic of moving 81 days left to my 10km run. I am feeling a little bit nervous actually, will I get in shape so I can make it? I hope it won’t rain so much that day . Right now I am running 3 times a week and am trying to get so other exercise in there too like PowerYoga or something like that. Is that enough? Should I do more running? I am not used to plan these kind of things so, I am a little bit confused. BUT I am going to become a runner. I AM!! And nothing can stop me (well if my legs fall of it won’t be that easy ) I am really feeling now that exercise is something important to me, it is necessary so I can feel good and have a great life.
A little silly thought...
Here in Sweden we have an expression that you can translate into “Have a good day”, I have been thinking and why don’t you wish other people the “best”, why don’t you say “Have a fantastic day” or “Have a great day” or “Have the best day” ... Since I realized this I often say something like “Make/have it the best day”. People look kind of strange at me but, hey, why can’t I wish them the best, not just the good?
Hellooooooo Karyn… there is a phrase that a person at my workplace uses which is “Give yourself a great day.” At first, it sounds like an odd thing to say but it makes sense since you do have control about how your day turns out. (There is some type of saying that states that how you react to a situation is more of a determinant of whether the situation is good or bad. Anyone out there know that saying?)
Happy people make the best of every situation, and it sounds like you are acknowledging and striving for that happiness.
I wish you the best in finding your life dreams, passions, etc.
Last night we got our old, and broken compaq computer going again (my bf got it finally to work). And after sometime I found a lot of old music I hadn’t heard for at least 1 ½ year. Started to listen to all the songs, and got really happy, realizing the power off music, and the need to listen to positive and uplifting music everyday. I think music can help to create and conserve happy energy, and positive thinking, so today I encourage everybody to listen to some goood and crazy music!

Well I will admit that it was a long time ago I was here, but I have been listening to the podcast and been moving around for a bit. This last weeks have though been kind of hard, feeling a bit down and not so motivated to move. But today something happen, for the first time in my life I went to a gym (of course with a friend who all ready was working out there:P) and I really loved it. She tough me about the equipment and how I could use it. It was really great! The hole thing toke like 2 hours, but it was sooo great. Afterwards I feel more energized and happy than I have ever felt in a long time. Strangely the energy lasted almost the hole day, and guess what, I want to do more, I was so great! I am really longing for the next time I will be able to go to the gym, it will be about one week unfortunately, because we are going on a vacation next week, but i guess that will be nice too
Well I just thought I would let you know about my experience to day.
....well… after I’ve gone for my morning run
