Getting My Life Unstuck Progress
Hey Delights!
Back in August I started on a journey to get my life unstuck because I have been consumed with complacency and maliase.
I have been documenting a lot about this on my YouTube channel and 2 months in, I definitely feel like I am making progress but that I could also be making more progress.
So, I am writing this post as an accountability check in for myself and as a framework for moving forward.
One of the areas that I needed to address in my life was consistency, which is why I decided to participate in Vlogtober on YouTube. I was doing pretty well until the unfortunate unexpected passing of my aunt. So far I have posted 17 days on YouTube and have footage from several other days that I have to edit and post.
My aunt’s funeral was October 19th and I literally didn’t document anything that day for the vlog because I was so emotionally exhausted and went home and slept the entire rest of the day.
And while I plan to get back at it, I have to honestly say that my spirit has definitely been struggling. Grief is so many things but especially when you know that you should have been more present for someone and you were not.
I am by nature a loner and have battled procrastination my whole life, so making the effort to connect with others regularly has always been a struggle for me.
But the older I get the more I realize how much I need these things to change, especially when it comes to the the people that I love.
I am working through this but not willing to let it completely break my stride. So the marathon continues.
So, I am going to get even more serious about my plans and the actions required to achieve my goals.
A couple of the things:
- Get more specific and detailed about my goals and set some concrete deadlines, in particular the financial goals. I have so many possibilities for this but I need concrete steps that I need to take and I have not been doing this sufficiently. And of course how successful I am in this area will make all the difference for my life as a whole.
- Focus more on my health. I have been in so much physical pain lately and it not only hurts but it is so demoralizing. I can not even think about getting shit done sometimes because I am hurting so much. And this is not something new for me. I have dealt with chronic pain since I was 16 and I am 55. But menopause has made a lot of things shift for me and this is definitely one of the areas.
But I just wanted to do a little check in.
More to come…
