Review of last year's resolutions

[the_fantastic_ms_fox]

1. Pursue romance. Fall in love. Get laid more.
B+: I was in an extended relationship, but I didn't exactly pursue it. And I have some hang-ups around initiating sex, which I challenged, but not as much as I could have. Upon my return to Vancouver, I let this slide. But I also resolved some important things around romantic relationhships - my desire to please and my over-reliance on online dating.


2. Continue to practice physio. Regain the use of my arm.
B: Did so for first part of year, let it slack off. Exercised it like mad, but didn't stretch as much as I could. Stretch it out of habit now.


3. Get cardio exercise 2+ times per week
A: Done and done. Strength training and jogging for the win. Missed two weeks (by which I mean 'hit the gym once') due to busyness. But out of a year that's not bad. Missed two weeks because of being sick or reocvering from fucking surgery.


4. Meditate, pray or whatever twice a week for 1⁄2 hour each time.
C-: wrapped it up at end of year with bio-kinetic release (a physical acting method), but that's not exactly medittion


5. Listen to my body about sleeping, sun, time outs and food.
B-: vague, but some progress; sleeping better  and better hours; eating healthy without earlier problems


6. Playtest and name my storygame system
B-: limited-run playtest, tentative name, but little progress past midyear, save for some nifty redesign


7. Dance
B+: a bit for the first part of the year, dance lessons in the summer, "rivering" in the fall


8. Give myself permission to be feminine
A-: Yeah, I did this. I grew my hair out, wore dresses and got mistaken for FtM a lot less. Didn't use make up as much as I could. Also came out to large numbers of people as MtF without couching it as much in the butch. Can now slide "trans" status to strangers without sweating.


B+ Average.

Very nice, Miss Fox
