How much can one person realistically change at once?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) July 9th, 2011

I don’t know what has happened to me over the last couple of months. I recently started a new job, I’m quite sure that’s when It happened.

It could be that my balls have finally dropped, metaphorically speaking of corse, but lately I feel different.

I used to work with computers, and still kind of do in my spare time, but my main job now is as entertainment manager for a hotel. Since I have started this job, I have gone from living in isolation for two years, to being on stage on a daily basis.

I feel like I am on the virge of a rebirth so to speak, a second coming of age perhaps.

Lately, I feel like nothing can stop me. I am much more confident, in fact, it’s more than just confidence, it’s almost like I have finally figured out who I am, and have found a way I can belong. I am very centered and content, and find my self to be much more sociable.

A few weeks ago, I saw an infomercial for an exercise program called p90x. Since then I have been eating healthy and doing some exercise each day.

About a week ago, I decided to stop smoking weed. I also plan to quit smoking tobacco too.

How far can I push this?

I feel like nothing can stop me, as if I can do anything I set my mind to, but after years of being a skeptical and cynical realist, I wonder where my limits are.

Is it possible, to go from weed smoking couch potato, to being the complete opposite?

Lets say I have decided to get my shit together… How much can I realistically do?

Can I:

- Quit weed
– Quit smoking
– Start Eating Healthy
– Complete and keep repeating p90x
– Impress the hell out of my new boss this year
– Start a new possible long term relationship
– Get my driving licence
– Buy a car
– Start saving and investing
– Do everything the aforementioned implies

… and not go crazy?
