It’s Happy Birthday to me! I’m officially in my late-twenties….
27 was a learning year for me. A lot happened this past year – good, bad, and stuff I’m still trying to define. I’m in a different place in my life right now than I thought I would be had you asked me say 5 years ago.
I’ve done a lot of redefining, challenging my thinking/priorities, and to be honest I’m not necessarily getting any closer to knowing what I want then I was before…but I do think I have a better idea of what I don’t want.
I don’t want to:
apologize for being me
feel not good enough
feel like I’m not worth it
be second
be all work and no play
stay in so much
cry as often
care what others think
have friends who are toxic
I think it’s time for me to set a few simple (hopefully) goals to help me focus. As the days tick on I feel like I’m getting too bogged down in the drama of everything that is going on and not accomplishing anything!
1. sleep
I seriously don’t sleep enough. If I could say I’m always productive with my time, then maybe I would excuse the 5 hours maybe I get a night, but really I’m just up, thinking, watching tv, and being useless.
2. find an organization system that works for me
I have more calendars than I know what to do with. I have one’s at home, at work, online, on my email, and in my phone and odds are all of them say something different. I need to find one system that works for me and that I will keep up with because lately I find myself surprised on how quickly things sneak up on me.
3. me time
I keep skipping things that involve personal upkeep i.e. today I was so busy at work I didn’t eat all day and so I skipped burlesque class— that’s two no-no’s! I should learn to stop and eat because it’s counter productive, if I’m starving I’m not going to perform well and thus make work stressful (not good for me or my boss). And by not going to a class I enjoy I’m making my life all work and no play. I’ve missed a total of 4 classes now which thankfully I can make up, but I need to make the time to do it.
4. laundry
This is ridic. I have tons of it and I need to either start doing it myself or lugging it to the cleaners nearby.
5. friends
I need to be better at keeping in touch with the ones I have and appreciating them and maybe getting rid of a few – it’s always better to be surrounded by people you love and love you back.
