Weekly Goals

After I treated myself so poorly last week, I was really hoping to kick this week’s ass.  Alas, it kicked mine.  I really didn’t pick up the exercise the way I hoped and I continued to eat out pretty regularly, which I prefer not to do.  All for the sake of getting away from my desk and out of the office, if only for the 15 minutes it takes to go and pick up some food and come back and get back to the daily grind.

I’m not sure if I lack discipline or just the desire to be better.  I know that when I get in my “funks” as I call them, I just go through the motions of the day, not really caring about anything.  I’ll just do the bare minimum and make excuses as to why I can’t possibly be expected to do something. 

But, I do want to be better.  I know I need to push myself.  I certainly don’t want to be an average woman.  I want to be something exceptional and special.  And, those people don’t quit.  They don’t sit back and whine because something isn’t going there way.  Something that I came to terms with earlier this year is that I have control over everything that happens to me – good or bad.  It was such a profound feeling when I realized this because it took away all of the excuses.  It’s just me on this journey, and if I want something then I need to earn it. 

I have so many goals and things that I’m working towards that it can feel extremely overwhelming.  I mean, how can I possibly be expected to remember to work on improving so many things at once?  I’ve decided to create a list of weekly goals.  I’ll check in each day to see how I’m doing and keep myself on track.  This week, I’m starting out with 7.  I’m assuming that some will roll over week to week, but I plan to leave them on this list until it becomes more than a passing phase.  I want these good habits to become a part of who I am naturally.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
