This blog is about growth. I'm in need of becoming better at life, if that makes sense. I looked at myself recently and thought "is this it?", in reference to the way I felt about the droll day-to-day life...sleep, eat, work, repeat. Not acceptable. I wont be in my 20's feeling like that! Hell, I refuse to feel like that in my 50's! In order to start feeling better, I knew I needed to start at the source---my depression. After a month of being on my medication, it's now time to start changing the "little things" so that my life as a whole is a little prettier :)
All these "little things" are jumbled in my mind (not jumbled in a frustrating way, but in an exciting "Yay! Let's live life!" kinda way). I'll jot down a few things I've done or am going to do...or things I'm in the process of doing to make my life a little sweeter.
I've made a life list, about 30 things so far, that I will do this year (listen to 1,000 new songs, take 100 photos with 100 different people who have changed my life, create my own cupcake recipe(nom nom!), get at least 3 more tattoos, read every Chelsea Handler book, etc, etc). The LIFE LIST is completely seperate from the other "little things" I'll be doing. Here are a few more (I'll be doing posts on each thing, dont you worry!)
Get back into "light" scrapbooking ("light"-- my definition of doing one project at a time instead of having tiny scraps of paper and hole punches EVERYWHERE! It can get ridiculous..believe me!), organize everything in my life thats cluttered, give people more compliments, stay in touch with friends and family regardless of whats going on in my life or how often I work, learn to relax when I can (instead of letting my anxiety take over to the point that I'm unable to truly enjoy anything), have a more postive work attitude, and ultimately....have confidence in myself, my abilities, my attitude, my relationship with Aaron, my friendships, everything. I wanna wake up in the morning and think "what can I do to make today a little better than yesterday" and then DO IT...and document it...and talk about it...and blog it!
Here goes :)
