There are many things I want out of life and not just
material goods…though there are plenty of those too! But I seem to be stuck in
this never ending cycle of negativity and basically chasing my tail. If there
is one thing I cannot stand, it’s being stuck in one place for too long. Have a
bit of Gypsy blood in me or something. This happens to me a lot, especially
after life changing events. I have so many dreams and directions that I want to
head in that I get overwhelmed…and then I’m like a car stuck in the mud.
Annoying, but it is what it is.
One thing that I tend to forget while in overwhelm mode is that life is just a strategy game. My favorite board game as a child was Risk. I loved it whether I was playing against another person or even a computer. Do they still make Risk for computers? Anywhohow, the moral of the story is that I need to work on some strategy to my life, instead of succumbing to the overwhelm.
I will – compost old food instead of throwing it away.
I will – focus on what I really want, not just want I think
I want.
I will – stop spending money on cheap junk instead of the nice
stuff that I love.
I will – make more from scratch, instead of being annoyed by
the quality and price of food.
I will – use the timer on my phone. It is a friend, not an
enemy.
I will – utilize the power of 15 minutes.
I will – write 200 words a day on any project. And no,
Twitter does not count.
I will – maximize my freebies. They make my dollar stretch
farther.
I will – not fill my house with useless junk that just
pisses me off.
I will – push myself further, while listening to my body.
I will – stretch my dollar as far as possible, without
sacrificing quality.
I will – finish projects that I have started.
I will – support more local businesses.
I will – journal and do my morning pages daily. They really
help with unblocking and keeping me positive.
I will – strive to kick perfectionism to the curb. Every
little bit counts!
