Life Changing!

Good evening!

I have been giving a lot of thought to the idea of changing my life. What decisions/actions/changes could literally change my life in such a way that it pivots my life’s axis and lead me on the path of my DREAM future.

You know I really have been pissing and moaning about my life a lot lately, I realize this, and I m sure that to those around me who may hear about my woes almost constantly, I am sure you are sick and tired of hearing it – I KNOW I AM!!! I know in my head that everything that I have in my life right now is there because I have created it. I chose where to live, what to become, how I spend my time, what activities I do on a consistent basis, and for the MOST part – I am perfectly contented! Believe it or not! 😉

I feel like I have now come to a fork in the road and I have some decisions that have to be made.

What do I want to do/be/have next???

It kind of feels like, that at 35 years old, I am going through some kind of mid-life crisis, of sorts! I know I am actively working on taking new chances now, but I am having some difficulty coming up with ideas for what some of those actions might be.

  • Take a new class
  • Start a new business
  • Join a new club
  • Go out of my way to meet someone new
  • Find something to do that takes me out of my comfort zone

But, there is the clincher – it is the getting out of your own comfort zone thingie!! I talk big, but in reality, I find a am a BIG OL” CHICKEN!!!! Hence the desire to sign up for something that scares the CRAPOLA out of me, BELLY DANCING, and I am planning on doing it ANYWAYS!!! Will this change my life? Maybe note. Will this pivot the direction of my entire life?? Maybe note. But maybe, just maybe it will help me flex and grown my BIG-GIRL MUSCLES and create some POSITIVE MOMENTUM in my life!!!

If you could choose ONE THING to change in YOUR LIFE,  what one thing would you choose, AND what is ONE action that you would take to MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION??? Let me know in the comments section above, I would GREATLY appreciate hearing your thoughts and ideas!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Good Morning!

I have often heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expect to get a different result. Well, being someone who is a creature of habit, I find myself reflecting on this idea a lot. I wonder if I am in a rut, and if so, what needs a good shaking up in my life!!! I think that my natural self is to be very nomadic, moving from one place to another, one activity to another, but that all changed when I lost my mom when I was younger. Now, movement and change is something that I have to purposefully concentrate on, otherwise I find I end up getting stagnant!! EW – that just sounds gross, but I am sure you know what I mean!!

I have 3 main areas of my life that really need my attention right now: my weight, my finances, and my home. So, when I woke up this morning, I asked myself what are some different actions that I can take to help improve these 3 areas in my life? So, I decided to make a list:

  1. Avoid the snooze!! When my alarm goes off in the morning, and I hit snooze, I really am awake, so basically I am just wasting sometimes up to 2 hours wasting time “trying to get a little more sleep”. Not today – up with the morning rooster!!!
  2. Get ready for work before anything else!! That way, when I have extra time left over, I am able to get any other things needing to get done before I head out to the office, and still be on time!
  3. Put me back on my to-do list! Now, I have a tendency to create a mental daily to-do list, and then cut out anything that would be too hard, or any “I don’t wannas” – not today! I am going to GO EAT THOSE FROGS!!!
  4. I am going to take my daily walk this morning, even if that means walking in the rain. I usually “try” to get my walk in at lunch time, and because work is usually so busy, it is super easy to find ANY excuse to not go – so today, there is no hesitation – it gets done first!!
  5. I am going to spend at least an hour, actually focusing on my finances today – they have been neglected far too long. Now, I don’t mean that my bills don’t get paid, but what I mean is that they are usually paid electronically, and I don’t always know how much money I am paying for what, or to what! So, I need to start living my life on purpose, and I know that having financial wealth is the key to true freedom to choose what I want to do, so now is the time to get that in check!!!
  6. and last but not least, I want more than anything to sell our condo and move into my home – wherever that may be. My husband and I daydream about owning a house on a small parcel of land, where we can create, and grow, and thrive, and make memories with our family and friends. I know that is out there somewhere, and I am so anxious to get started on that portion of our lives, but if I don’t start taking some kind of action to move in that direction – it will sadly never happen, and I just cannot sit idly by as we let our dream life is pass us by. So, today I want to do at least one project in the house that will make me feel like I am on my way!!!

Anyway, I am off to go get my morning walk in!!

Have a FABULOUS day!!! 🙂
