#Reverb10: Prompt 11, the blog-along

[chemgal18]

Today, MathNerd314, Sunflowerakb, and I will all weigh in on the #Reverb10 prompt mathnerd314 mentioned last week:

What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011?
How will you go about eliminating them?
How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?

We've agreed to update on our progress at the end of each month in 2011.

So...you're telling me that "Peas on Earth" is not something you'd like to see in 2011? For shame, ChemGal, For shame.
(ps-did you get a goofy pingback from my link? What's that about?)

2011

Things I can do without

What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011?
How will you go about eliminating them?
How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?

1. Regrets - about missed opportunities, failures, lost loves, passed moments
2. Excessive worry about things over which I have absolutely no control
3. Emotional responses that are disproportionate to the situation
4. Debilitating anxiety and all of the physical symptoms that come along with it
5. Cynicism
6. Loneliness
7. Preoccupation with the opinions of others
8. Assumptions - both by me and about me
9. Always putting work first, no matter what
10. Inadequacy - always feeling that I am
11. Perfection - stop requiring it at all moments of every day, for all purposes. This impulse drove me to recompose this list over and over and over. Instead, I am just posting it.

I am not at a place yet where I can answer the remainder of the questions. But I am forcing myself to post anyway because that is a step in the right direction.
