Good evening, everyone!!!
Day 1 of this new year has started off on the right foot. I made a few changes in 2021 to help push me in the direction I want things to go in 2022, and I am determined to push that mark this year.
I have my first meet up with an author friend on Friday :) Something we are going to do monthly this year to help keep our motivations up :) We chatted a bit online this morning about it and are both excited for Friday :)
My motto for the year this year will be, "If you want it, go for it" and that is exactly my plans. The office is back in complete order for the winter. This new job has given my creative juices a good flow. I've even come up with some interesting ideas on keeping characters in order. Writing series books can get a bit confusing when you have so many characters coming into play. But I believe my idea will help in that area terrifically.
Climbing the stairs every day to the office will also be good for the health LOL. We can always use some healthier habits in our lives, right!?!
Tomorrow morning the plan is to get up here to start off my day. Then each day that I don't work, (I do twelve-hour shifts, so I refuse to stress myself out trying to pack anything in on workdays), I will be putting in an allotted amount of hours on the computer. Being in the office I won't have anything to disturb me.
The holidays are over, so the stress levels of trying to get everything done is now a thing of the past. I wouldn't trade a moment of it, but I'm glad now that the season for reflection and quiet is now upon us.
I started the New Year off with a reading. Which told me I needed to get out of my own way and start making things happen. I knew this. I really did. We can always find excuses, we just have to make ourselves stop with them and start with what we know we want.
I feel so light and free from those things in life I allowed to bind me. People don't understand sometimes when you walk out of the work doors you no longer belong to the job. Which was one thing I allowed, and by doing so I allowed my own boundaries to be broken. The job I have now, I can walk out the door at the end of the shift, get in the car, mull over the creative ideas that came to me during those twelve hours and leave the job behind until the next workday. This company even closed the doors for three weekends for the holidays, allowing us weekend workers to grab a couple of days during the week to make up our time we wouldn't get. Not only did they let us grab a couple of days during the week but allowed us to choose whatever days we wanted to 'just show up' for. It really blows the mind there are still companies out there like that :) But I'm glad there is, and I'm super stoked I found one.
Tomorrow there is a lot on the agenda, but I'm also not going to get upset with myself if I don't get all the things done in one day I have on my list. I'm giving myself a break this year on how I treat myself. Giving myself a little wiggle room so to speak. As long as I stay focused on all my goals, I don't care in what order they get done. Just that they do. After Tuesday night I have ten days off and that should be plenty of time to get the house in the order I want to keep it in :) Top to bottom :) So many things I just lost all energy for by allowing myself to drag myself down. I am getting back to the me I always liked to be. Get some old habits back and even incorporate some new ones :)
Tomorrow's another day...
Everyone have a lovely evening!!!
Blessings to all!!!
