Another Readers Day here at Project Armannd.

Today’s question is, as the title suggests: Are you living your life or just reacting to it?

What am I trying to say by this? Well, in short, if you live your life you should be able to easily remember at least one or two highlight events from the past 7 days of your life.

Start thinking now…

… Did you recall something? Was is withing 5-10 seconds? If the anwer is positive, congratulations! You’re not just wasting your life away!

If it’s taking longer than ten seconds to think of something… it means you haven’t exactly lived your life… you just sat quietly in your corner and reacted to the things that came your way.

The perfect case would be to have at least one highlight memory from each single day that passes by.

These memories could be anything from something like the birthday of a friend or a parent, to something as big as having a baby or getting married. The important thing is to be able to recall them very easily.

So, what are your highlight memories of the past 7 days? Share them with us!

    Definitely living my life. Most specifically, I remember an event that not too long ago would have sent me spiraling downward emotionally. I was able to observe and re-direct myself back upwards where I wanted to be.

    Another example was I set myself a hefty challenge to see how far my skills in a certain area reached. I’m pleased to say I met the challenge and also pleased to say I succeeded :-)

    I had someone try to drain me emotionally and energetically. While still being compassionate and supportive, I did not let them drain me.

    Who else has some life experiences to share?

    I’ve launched the challence and so I think I should countribute to it.

    Much like John, I remember some events from last week that sent me spiraling down emotionally at very high speed. And I really got low…

    The thing about it is that I’ve got there on purpose. I wanted to see how quickly I can recover from a big emotional low.

    What did I do to get so low? The easiest and fastest way: tried to fall inlove (and succeeded), broken my heart, locked myself in the house away from my friends, started listening to really sad songs, etc… And I really managed to make myself feel miserable. So miserable that I started to think that the whole experiment was a bad idea in the first place. :)

    Anyhow, to make the long story short, after getting as low as possible, I managed to get back up in 24 hours. Positive thinking seems to have incredible results! :)

    That would be my most intense memory of the past 7 days (it covers up more than 4 days).

    Looks like me and John are living, how about you?

    Count me in. We all have something in common with the spiraling down the drain.

    As Dj Armannd knows, I lost my job recently.. And I hardly entertained the thought that I was a looser. Indeed brave at some point for standing for my decision to leave( my company stopped treating me right) despite being unemployed for a while. I saw it as an opportunity to know and ponder about my life and what I want to do with it. So then figuring out my next choice. Along with that I have tried out photography which is a very refreshing hobby. takes all the stress away! ;)
