Week 3, Day 5

This afternoon I auditioned for a role as a christian evangelist. I thought it was really coincidental because I haven't auditioned for something like that before and I just so happen to reading the Bible for the first time. It was actually a lot of fun today, and that's really all I can say about it. The world works in mysterious ways.

Task: ANGER!

Today I did the task Anger As Fuel, which asks you to list 1-50 on paper and then start out each line with "I'm angry" and finish the sentence. At first I thought, "50 things to be angry about? That's a lot of anger." After about 15, I was on a roll. I guess I didn't notice all the little things that apparently make me angry. A lot of them are little things that are easily fixable in my life, and some that would be nearly impossible. A lot of them are physical things with myself, or where I am in my life. I think the point of the exercise is to take note and acknowledge these things, then come up with ways around them, or ways to overcome them. I would definitely rather grow above then stay stagnate in front of.

Task: Mapping Your Interest

For each set of questions, you have to give 5 answers. Five Topics that Interest Me, Five People Who Interest Me, Five Art Forms That Interest Me, and Five Projects I Could Try Out Are.

After doing the first three I found myself thinking more out of the box and really allowing myself to come up with some creative ways that I could do some risk taking and try out a few of my interests. What's holding me back from trying a pottery class, reading about Abraham Lincoln, or learning how to sketch better? I can't imagine really that much. What's the worst that could happen? What am I waiting for?

Morning Pages:
CHECK - I wrote all about this awful dream I had last night. I actually woke up around 7 am sweating and almost in tears. I laid in bed and wrote out in detail everything had happened. I want to pick up one of those books about understanding your dreams and see what I can find out. I've been told by a lot of people that once you understand your dreams you can understand a lot more about yourself. Does everything in a dream really have a meaning, or only what you make of it?
