*Sigh*

I don’t think it’s any big secret that I’m feeling a little over worked lately.   I would love to take a personal day.  Regardless, somewhere in the last week, I realized that I was sighing… a lot.  So, I took a small break to Google why people actually sigh.  It was as I expected.  It’s a way to express discontent, stress, and/or frustration.  I interpret this to mean that every time I sigh it’s my own little temper tantrum.  I don’t feel like being at work.  *sigh*  I don’t feel like going to the gym.  *sigh*  I don’t feel like getting up so early. *sigh* It's so not fair that I can't buy those amazing pair of shoes. *sigh*

I don’t want to be the type of person that throws a tantrum every time she has to do something that she doesn’t feel like doing.  So, in conjunction with acknowledging my feelings of discontentment and telling myself to growth the fuck up, I’m also consciously doing some deep breathing when I notice these feelings come on.  It seems to be helping.  It really all comes down to self-awareness.  If I'm not paying attention, it's very easy to act the way I always have.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Don't Lose Focus

I realized lately that I’ve started to lose my drive and focus when it comes to personal growth and improvement.   I hit, what felt like a major milestone a couple weeks ago, and I think in a way I felt like I could take a break.   And, while a break is ok, my “breaks” tend to last too long, or I simply stop entirely.   I recognize that I need to keep going on my current path.   Because, if I stop now, it could set me back.   And, I’m so tired of being set back, and being left behind.   What are those things that you’ve been putting off?   What is something that is undone in your life?   Get on it girl!  Even if you don't finish the task, start it today !

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
