After 7 months without a blog post, I thought it was time I jumped back in the game - and what better way to start than insulting my abilities to do things? Joking, but I am going to write down a handful of things that I could be a LOT better at, and that I want to start working towards improving... and what better place to put it than the internet? The one place i'll never be able to delete it from so will always be held accountable ;-) So lets dive right into it, starting with the obvious one:
1. Blogging - but not just blogging, making time to do anything that takes effort and energy... no matter how happy it makes me! Not an ideal thing to be bad at, it all comes down to lack of self motivation, which i'm sure a LOT of people have struggled with - and if they can do it, why can't I?
2. Sticking to plans/goals - seriously though, i'm SO bad. My new years resolution track record is 2 days of effort, and 363 days of YOLO, and my workout history is "that was a great workout, that earned me a tub of icecream!". I'm 20 now, a mum, a girlfriend and a young adults leader... I think it's time to start practising self discipline - if I can't do it, how can I expect other people to?
3. Napping - I don't mean i'm bad at napping, I mean I'm bad at NOT napping. You know sometimes I find myself reading, tidying, writing or even just chilling out watching a Todd White video and I suddenly get so incredibly tired (with no real excuse - I get at least 5 hours of sleep most nights which could be a lot worse with a baby) and then I think, "If I sleep for 10 minutes, it will re energise me, and then I can do this task 100% better... Kadee's napping, so why can't I?!". Then I fall asleep, wake up to my alarm and push snooze until Kadee wakes up and I've done absolutely nothing, and feel awful and groggy - and I know it doesn't help, yet I still do it. Logic? Seriously need to work on that... maybe a doctors appointment is in order to find away to be energised. Any tips would be more than appreciated!
4. Eating - or should the real answer be "cooking"? I'm not a bad cook, i'll give myself that - but motivating myself to actually do it is a whole other story. I procrastinate to the point where I wont cook myself food because "I don't have time" or any other excuse, so I go a day without eating and then binge on a ginormous meal when my boyfriend comes over with takeaways or when I go to my parents for our weekly family meal... or i'll just eat a loaf of bread because why the heck not? Don't worry guys Kadee eats well, but I'm definitely hoping to smash out a cooking routine so we can eat together like normal people. I would say "mum life", but I don't think it applies here, I think it's more like "lazy 20 year old in denial that she's an adult life". And finally...
5. Self Care - I'm starting to catch on to the fact that, a big part of why I feel like it's SO hard to do these things is because I don't look after myself. I spend so long stressing out about things, investing all my energy in that when what I should be doing is investing my time and energy into taking care of myself so I can go on in life's battle clear headed, navigating more easily and calmly. So I suppose that's the ultimate goal here, perhaps that's what this blog will end up being about - but hey, I clearly don't know all the answers, so we will see what happens.
Until next time,
