Actualization meme, part 1

[danaeris]

Name at least three attainable things you have wanted to learn for a while, but have not seriously worked on since childhood.

• a martial art, because I want to be a meditative badass, and because it's just a Good Idea


• sewing, because I like pretty clothes and want to be able to make my own, or at least alter existing clothing as my body changes


• the history of the world in brief, because I feel like an uneducated twit


• more about the politics of Canada, and political "science" in general, because everyone should try to be as knowledgeable as possible in a democracy

Now pick one or more you want to make happen first, and if you like, tell us why you chose it/them

Martial arts because it will help me in my goal to lose weight and be more active.
The politics of Canada, because it is a simple investment of time, money, and effort which can be done in small chunks of time, and because it will be immediately applicable as an election looms on the horizon.

Now identify the first step(s) needed to realize this/these, and go out and do them! Post this in your journal so that others will follow in your steps while learning more about your hopes and dreams. And, if you feel like it, keep your journal up to date on your efforts to make these things happen.

If you can't do this meme because you're already doing all the things you've always wanted to do, tell us about what you're doing to make your dreams come true if you want to participate. And, have fun! :)

I'd choose a martial art because I'd like to get more fit and because I all ready know a reasonable level of politics and world history. Sewing just doesn't interest me at all beyond having it done for me.

Besides, I'm more likely to impress people with martial arts than a cool looking scarf I made :/
