"Before Lifebook, I would just go through my days, weeks, years like trudging through mud."

Before Lifebook, I would just go through my days, weeks, years like trudging through mud. I wasn't necessarily unhappy but just running on the hamster wheel of life.

From the first few sections, I have started meal planning to a degree again. I have begun meditating, listening to some of The Great Courses in my library. I have purchased some of the books suggested in audible versions, and I dug out some notes I made years ago on a business venture I was thinking about. I have begun adding to it and have looked up how to write a business plan and I have promised to spend at least an hour a week on it (Has been more, but I didn't want a goal I would self-sabotage). With all the introspection and time for Lifebook, I didn't want to overwhelm myself. 

I have started thinking about my spirituality again and immediately after the financial chapter I went to my bank account and paid myself first. I put 10% in a savings and cancelled some monthly expenses that were frivolous. I am starting to see a much clearer picture of how to get out of debt and save some money even on what my income is. I was never taught money management or how to handle it and when I would feel the most stressed about my finances, I would spend more. I don't have the urge to now. I am actually excited about where I go from here.

I had a lot of self-doubts and negative beliefs about myself personally that I didn't even realize was there. I have learned you don't have to be a victim to admit some of the negative that created them. It makes you stronger to admit, face, and overcome!

WOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE I AM IN A YEAR!

Thank You
