Gotta Start Somewhere

I've been contemplating how to get this blog rolling. I feel like my mind is a bit stagnant after having children, and I'm not able to immerse myself in books like I used to do. But I am growing restless. I want to be learning and put what I learn into practice. I want to strengthen my weaknesses. I want to live my dreams. And the only thing stopping me is me. I got sucked back into thinking mediocre thoughts and getting comfortable not having to stretch myself and grow. But not growing, not struggling, not achieving or learning or dreaming is starting to get uncomfortable.

And it's time to do something about it.

I agree. I feel the same way often! I love taking on new challanges and always improving myself. Can't wait to read what you delve into!

So I just realised that I picked the same background as you did. No wonder I liked it ha ha. Anyways I'm reading a really great book that I thought you would like. I had to read it for my behacioral psych class. It's called "Don't shoot the dog" by Karen Pryor. It's about teaching/training organisms to do what you want(that was very simplified). I thought that you would find it interesting and it's not very long.
