I can relate with not getting much sleep when I grab hold of a new challenge because I get so absorbed. It's hard to fall asleep and then the moment I wake up the mind is going again. I like the idea of being curious and exploring that way the emphasis is on learning and not always on achieving. Thanks once again for a great comment.

I thought of you more than once this weekend, and I pictured you at SOBcon. Thanks for writing about change. For me quiet periods without much change are healthy, for a while. I can tell when they start turning into ruts because I start feeling restless. Then I start looking for the next step to take. I know from experience that I need to alternate between those quiet periods and periods of challenge. I agree with you about the need for non-judgment so we can see things clearly. You mention self-acceptance...I also think a healthy dose of love never hurts. And thinking of ourselves as evolving beings, just fine where we are and always changing, helps a lot. I save myself a lot of stress when I focus on being curious, exploring and having an adventure rather than pushing for a goal/dream. It's not that I don't have aims in life, it's that my tendency is to become overly motivated and push too hard. My big hesitation in tackling a new challenge is that I have to be careful not to get so turned that I don't get enough sleep. Again, thanks for writing about this topic. I'll definitely keep visiting. Hi, Ellen,
