I’m 39 years old. I’ve written about my new chapter entitled Positive Positioning. I’m working on my attitude, lifestyle and outlook on life. I’m beginning to find I want to learn more about yoga, chakras and meditation.

Do you remember who you were at age 22? I look back and wonder how did I know everything so young? Today I find myself curious about more opportunities to seek, explore and to find who I am today, at my core. Actually it’s not about finding myself but developing the things I find interesting to add to myself.

I knew I was going to find a new way of freedom. Not sure what that really includes, but mostly peace. I made a commitment to change daily. The past three months have shown, I am the most centered I’ve been in a very long time. From the moment I committed to doing what makes me happy, shedding any concern of what others think of my decisions, I’ve been able to feel centered.

For three years, I was unbalanced. Each decision I wanted to make had to be explained to my friends, acquaintances, Facebook connections and the cashier at Petco. I couldn’t make a decision or depend on my gut feelings for anything. What are you having for dinner? What should I charge for comedy tickets? Should I buy the toilet paper on sale at Walmart or get it while I purchase my breakfast on sale at CVS?

Today, it’s not all rosey and happy just because I vowed to be positive! It takes practice, and I find the more experience I bank, the easier it is to get out of the more challenging days! So thank goodness I’m not the same person I was before, a know it all 22 year old isn’t as fun as a living life large while learning 39 year old!
