@David @ MBA briefs That's a great quote, thank you for sharing it. @Ryan @ Planting Dollars It's important to have a reason to get up in the morning. Someone who hates their job might feel like they have no reason to get out of bed. That's not a good feeling. @youngandthrifty Good luck... every effort I've made into getting into better shape has been unsuccessful so far. I need to find the right motivation. .-= Flexo´s last blog ..12 Greenest Cars of 2010: Do You Consider the Environment? =-.

Great post, very thought provoking. =)
I don’t know if I would deem the above scenarios, chaos, per se, but more like… not living for the moment, living day-by-day “plogging along”. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in patterns, that they become ruts, and deep down, we know that what we’re feeling isn’t right, but we don’t take action to change these things. Sometimes you don’t even know how deep you’re in rut until someone else tells you…

For me, I’ve been quite a workaholic these past few months, letting my physical health take back seat. I was getting more back pain, less exercise etc. (I used to do yoga once a week, but since January (or earlier) maybe once a month??) I decided that from now on, I’ll make my well-being a priority and will try to do some yoga three times a week. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to this. =)

My chaos in the last year has been quitting my job, buying a one way to a city I had never been or didn't know anyone in, and trying to start over from scratch. It seems that with chaos we often have to re-evaluate ourselves and head back in a direction that matters since it was obviously caused by something being off. I can relate to the story of Brian the most, having been a non morning person in the past was something I struggled with, especially when having jobs that I hated since there was zero motivation to get up and go to them. Glad all your friends became stronger after their bouts with chaos. .-= Ryan @ Planting Dollars´s last blog ..5 Funny But True Lessons I Learned From Office Space =-.
