Mugen Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm soon to be 19 year old student from Finland trying to get my life back to what it used to be. I used to do taekwondo, do well in school and arranged small events for my friends, mostly some kind of sparring and/or obstacle courses with maybe a trick or two we tried to learn thrown into the mix. I was popular, healthy and confident but when we moved out to a new place the so called 'fresh start' didn't work really as well as I would have hoped. As a result these days I'm only just managing to graduate in 6 months, I have no idea where I am going from here. I quit my hobbies years ago and as a result my athletic results have dropped to below average. So I figured I really need to change the direction my life is going, and to do it now. But I'm a social person so I thought that maybe joining the forums would give me that little extra push I might need. Mostly I'm here to learn self discipline again and trying to find motivation to stay on the right track again. Nice to meet you all! Feel free to leave a message and say hi! I love meeting new people and it would be great to hear your story -Mugen 1 Quote Human Level: 1 STR: 2 | DEX: 0 | STA: 2 | CON: 4 | WIS: 1 | CHA: 1 Link to comment

Arya Sapphire Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Welcome! I second alienjenn: I love your profile pic! Also, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress during the challenge. Have you done meditation before? I find it so hard but afterwards I always feel like a million bucks. Definitely something to look into.

Have you done meditation before? I find it so hard but afterwards I always feel like a million bucks. Definitely something to look into. Thank you! Seems like lots of people here like nature, huh? Or just colour green? Which is totally cool too xD I've actually tried meditation a few times but I've got trouble keeping it up. Or just trouble meditating altogether some days, I'm one of those people who literally can't sit still and have an attention spam of a 5 year old. Which is why I'm trying to meditate in the first place, at least I've been told it'd be good for me? I suppose we'll see!

That's why when I do meditation, I start with a super short one. I can usually build a bit more calm and focus with each meditation, but It's still hard. I think it might take us quite a few tries before we can be completely calm for a long while, but we'll get there!
