Searching for my place...?

I'm at a loss of which way to go and am finding that it's very uncomfortable. So here are things i've done since coming out of prison.
  1. Stayed clean
  2. Got off transleave
  3. Found a now full time job (went through a couple to get here)
  4. Pay my own rent
  5. Stay clean
  6. Stay away from criminal activity
  7. Let people go that don't need to be in my life(not always comfortable but feels good after)
  8. Attend meetings
  9. Built relationships with family again and stronger with bounderies
  10. Made new friends
  11. Got into clean slate for my license
  12. Utilized resources

Things that I still need to put more effort into:

  1. My son and how to go about it right
  2. School (deciding where to go and following up)
  3. Checking in with Anakha, David, and Gene
  4. Attend meetings more regulary
  5. Stay connected to myself
  6. Check in with self
  7. Take better care of myself (food, exercise, yogo, meditation, spiritual)
  8. Listen to others point of view
  9. Buget money
  10. Quit smoking
  11. Read more
  12. Figure out what set's of my depression and why I push people I care about away!!!

So I'm saying that I am trying to be open to some feedback. If anyone has any ideas. I can be stubborn at first but will think about it and think and think...so I just know some changes need to happen and that although im clean and crime free and I have a place to live and a job to support my self in. I feel something missing and even know what some of it is. Just having trouble figuring out why I can't seem to get the motivation to fix it.

Great to see your post, Nichole! Here's some feedback that occurred to me when I was reading: I just got back from road trip to CA, over 24 hours in the car and I listened to most of 2 truly wonderful CD sets...ones that address the essence of living...of awakening...and blooming. ”The End of your World” by Adyashanti...and “The New Earth” by Tolle. How are you with the Library these days? It has both of these...that you could copy onto something digital to listen to on your travels. And each is available in book form as well.

Blessings on this new stage. Love, Gene
