Make a change. I decided that I need to make a change in my life. I've been feeling a little out of sorts...a little down/blue. Fine, I've been feeling a lot out of sorts. It's been difficult for me to get going. I feel tired a lot. I want to sleep all the time. Oh, and the big one: I feel like my life isn't going anywhere; that I don't have anything on the horizon to look forward to. I've been feeling this way for quite some time now but since I like to pretend nothing is ever wrong and things are always fine & dandy, it's taken me a while to acknowledge I feel well...less than stellar these days. The things is, I spend a lot of time helping other people have a life. Almost all of my energy is devoted to helping others make a change so that they can have a better life. I finally decided it's time for me to make a change. I want a better life.
365 Days. I'm a creature of habit and routine. I've found that routines make life simple, manageable, drama-free, and all that other jazz. Only thing is, they also make my life boring and resistant to change. I don't mind boredom as much as I mind everything always being the same. I've been on the same weekly routine for the last year. I know what to expect every day. Every week is the same and the weeks end up just passing me by. It's time to make a change. I decided I'd embark on a quest to do something, one thing, different everyday. I'll be honest, this was not a solution I came to after some profound-ah ha-epiphany-type of moment. No, it was more the product of a driving to old sappy music-something's gotta give-my life is going nowhere-must do something but don't know what-type of thing. It dawned on me that change occurs in all sizes, forms, & shapes and can be instantaneous or span the course of weeks, months, years, etc. I figured I'd start small: Do something, just one thing, different everyday for the next year.
Day 1: Acknowledgment. It's okay to admit I'm not feeling satisfied and I want a better life. I'm not and I do. Here's to Day 1 of change: Acknowledgment. Cheers.
