Feeling good, but feeling like I'm wrong

Thought I'd throw this out there, because I know some of you are dealing with the same issues.

I made a commitment to myself recently. I need to take better care of myself. This doesn't only include exercising and focusing on nutrition, but it also includes improving my surroundings. I needed a way to combat stress, on both the personal and career level.

When I finally decided that I just don't care about certain things, and made the commitment to not let certain things bother me, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I feel lighter. I feel better. I chose to do one thing different each day. I chose to speak my mind and be bold. I chose to not hinge all my efforts on what the outcome may possibly be. I started living for now. It didn't matter to me that I need to lose those pesky 10 lb. I bought some nice new clothes and wear them proudly. I carry myself better and actually care what my hair looks like now.

I chose to be better. Having alone time really helps with this. Not trying to be a problem solver all the time helps with this too.

The thing is, I feel great, but I'm not entirely sure how those around me will feel about the new me. That's my dilemma.
