I did again, I said I wouldn't fall victum and get sucked into starting another year with New Years Resolutions. I did.........but totally revamped and modified the whole premise around the idea.
Resolutions, are they not action items so the same thing doesn't happen again. There for they should be actionable solutions. Who the hell can come up with those with a glass of champange in their hand? I say no one!
Ok, so now what? It's a new year I'm feel frisky to go on with the next year of my life and make it awesome! Crush goals and thoughts. Better myself.
So I came up with goals. ACHIEVE. My favorite word. WIN. Second favorite word. IMPROVE. Third favorite word. STORY........because I want my life to be a story not beige paint on a wall with beige furniture.
My goals are based around personal, fitness and work. Mostly this year I'm working on my fincial planning, professional certifications, publishing in a professional journal and some minor fitness goals.
But the one I'm most proud of adding is GRATITUDE. What a humdinger of a word. I realized I lean toward super negative vibes, especially in the last 3 years. And I keep looking at all I don't have but forget what I do have. With that said I'm practicing gratitude everyday. I'm not going to log it in a notebook I'm just going to do it. Say "I'm a lucky gal because __________". There's the reminding technique then there is showing. I believe that's the hardest one of them all. Showing the people in our lives what they mean to us and thanking them for all they do. Also being consistent with feedback is challenging.
Oh I just thought of one last goal. Focus on being PRESENT. I need to sit in every moment and soak it up. Take the opportunity of the moment to make good sound decisions for myself. I think if I live in the present, my obsessing/anxiety/procrastination will minimize then I can love life even more!

New Year, Nearly Trying To Be Consistent
Okie dokie. I always have a lot to say in life. Anyone that knows me, is literally rolling their eyes right now in agreement.
This blog was suppose to follow my life, connect with people, connect others together and who knows maybe make a person out there feel like someone knows what's up in their life.
Sooooooooo that didn't happen. I wrote some poor me depressed ones. And I then wrote a few about my thyroid cancer journey.
The toughest thing in life is to be consistent. I've learned a lot post-op with my thyroid crap and have managed to have come back and make some gains. And I find that social media is difficult to just put yourself out there with. People are major judger-mick-judgersons. Facebook is rifled with adds, news trends, and reposts of crap to distract you. Snapchat........kill being board at work with your friends, come on admit it haha. Instagram, not too bad, but you run the risk of "hey come see how good I look" pictures and never ending hashtags that make no logical sense. But here I am back to the good old classic, retro online blog.
Most likely not many will find this and/or read this. But for me perhaps it is just a glimpse into my life, and an "in the moment" look at where I've been. Instead of dragging out and obsessing on the past maybe this will help me not beat myself up on how I got to the present. And allow me to see my progression in life.
Oh and I promise pictures!!! I like shiny things, so naturally everyone else likes shiny things. You never know knock knock jokes may emerge as well. It's a grab bag at this point. If you've read this far, yes my brain has no logical way of thinking you are very welcomed!
