annyshay Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Super Chill Goals! Explore (Triforce of Courage) - Journal My mind can be full of puzzles and creatures that freeze me in my tracks, but journaling gives me a good way to process all the different things that I experience in my explorations. Just 5 minutes per day. Expand (Triforce of Wisdom) - Self Care This is a crucial step in freeing myself from emotional eating. Self care frequently means time outside, with animals, drinking tea, or playing games... just like with the gaang. Embody (Triforce of Power) - Katara = Boundaries I am realizing just how much society encourages me to be a passive observer of my life. I refuse. Like Katara I will go after the things that are important to me, call out stupid rules, and set boundaries for how others will treat me. 6 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to post
annyshay Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 For those that haven't been following me for a while... Welcome! For those that have... I'm on a quest inspired by the Hero of Time - specifically Ocarina of Time. All year, I'm working through the dungeons from this game and pursuing goals in keeping with the Triforce. If you're interested in some more backstory, take a gander at my battle log (linked in my signature). If not, that's awesome. Jump right in! So far, I've awakened three sages and collected their medallions as a pledge that they will add their power to mine... Rauru - Sage of Light Saria - Sage of Forest Darunia - Sage of Fire The Ice Cavern is a mini-dungeon, so there isn't a medallion on the line this challenge. However, without defeating this dungeon, it will be impossible to progress and awaken the other Sages. We can't have that! So, it's time to get to work... 7 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to post

I'm coming for you. - chatted with my former roomie Embody (Triforce of Power) - Katara = Boundaries - this may be a small thing, but I kept typing when my attending wanted to just tell me her life story. I try to be supportive, but I also don't want to stay at work late on a Sunday playing counselor. So, she can talk at me while I get my work done. 7 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to post

Fairly_Bouncer Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Ah barefoot walking.... Is also my favorite way of walking (in soft gentle places, as I slowly try out new places on trails). I personally love it because I get no blisters, just full relief in all my leg muscles... And love the necklace, would have never thought to look up if I could buy it. 2 Quote Link to post
