It's time to bring the magic back!Just look at those greens! The spring is fast approaching and the relief from the cold and dark winters grip is inevitable. Even if all else fails, nature is still here with us, giving us a warm, green…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 3 min readGot value?Today on a long walk (towards the spring) I was primarily occupied by thoughts of value and society. Even I, an individualist to the core, have to reluctantly admit that, if one wants to achieve things greater than mere survival (if even that), one does need a society after all.I don't remember which specific animals this was about, but I like…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 2 min readJosie's officially a free elf nowSo the day has finally arrived! I am free. Free from corporate. Free to be me, free to explore and experiment. Do I know clearly where I'll end up and what I'll do? No, but that's the part of the adventure - to go bravely into the unknown. I am quite excited to see how things will unfold. This is such a weird yet also intriguing time, because it…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 2 min readJosie's Report Card: February 26 2023A fog was creeping over the lake, quite rapidly. It was about -7 degrees, but felt a lot colder. I was laughing that it feels colder than it was in the winter.. the joke being that I'm so over the winter that I'm long since living in the spring mindset. And I'm not alone, because the song of spring birds could be heard already earlier. Surely not…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 2 min readOr Not?This is what I was afraid of. I had hoped I'd manage to sneak out of my employment before someone even attempted to convince me to stay. But yesterday my fears came true and I was offered a reasonable compromise that would on paper resolve all my issues. But my problem is, if someone makes me feel like I'm needed and useful and can contribute…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 3 min readEscaping Corporate WorldOn 09.02.2023 I handed in my notice of resignation. On the 14th of March Dobby's officially a free bitch, baby! With a few free days that I'm still taking out (not all of them, there's still 10 left that they'd have to pay out) that leaves me with just 9 working days left to figure out how to somewhat decently give that fire in the dumpster over…josie2214 in # actifit • 3 yr. ago • 1 min readExercise in FreedomToday I just wanted to try to express myself as freely as I possibly can, without a worry in a world, of whether something decent comes out of it or not.It is an issue with me and creative things - I do usually constrict myself too much, try too hard and then still feel like I've failed. So today the exercise was in freedom. I did have to…josie2214 in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readJosie's Actifit Report Card: December 23 2022I don't have much to share today, apart from the fact that I'm looking forward to some well needed deep and relaxing sleep..And no, I have not wrapped the gifts yet. I don't know why I felt like that is an important piece of information to share, but not to worry, all in due time..Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to skip right to that deep and…josie2214 in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readJosie's Actifit Report Card: December 22 2022I fell a bit on hold. Suspended. Floating somewhere randomly mid-air. I guess I'm prepared for some sort of a fall, and that's ok. The only question is - will I manage to catch a breath before it?Diligence. I feel like I need to train myself to be more diligent. Create and sustain a system that once and for all actually works.

I do tend to understand and name my emotions, but somehow with a severe delay. 14 or 20…josie2214 in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readJosie's Actifit Report Card: December 20 2022Even though I still believe in effort, consistency, hard work and patience, I guess I am afraid to a degree to test the limits of those characteristics, just so that the can remain in the 'superpower' category.

Did not manage to get the steps in today, as I've been busy with work. But not just pointlesly busy, hopefully also productive. I have gotten some positive feedback not only internally from colleagues, but also from customers. And that is a real boost for me.

This is unacceptable. Now I'm actually quite curious how soon can I get my form back. My norm used to be 7 to 11 sun salutations in the morning. Now I can barely push 3.. ..for now.

I'm glad you're checking up on me, but appart from the fact that it's one more day down on achieving 10k steps and that it's been busy and honestly confusing day at work I really don't have much else to offer in regards to any new information about myself or the world around me.
