So a whole year passed by.. that was quick!!!
here is how i did...
first and foremost i said i will do something everyday to make myself happy... and guess what.. im happy lol so everyday ive done something even if it was just playing music and dancing in my room.. EVERYDAY ive done something to make myself smile....
1. I won’t let negative people ruin my day.. as a matter of fact I will eliminate all the negative people out of my life.. I started this in 2008 but clearly it takes longer than a year to purge the rotten apples…
6 month mark.. So far so good! and its funny because i havent had to do any work...people just eliminate themselves on their own stupidness!.. thank goodness because im am so nonconfrontational..
one year later..i think this is something that always needs to be on the list. since you meet people everyday you constantly have to prune growing relationships.. but i have learned to notice a bad relationship before it goes too far for it to hurt when cut off!
2. I wont worry about the things I cant control…ill just pray about it and let it go.
I struggled a little with this one because i still have a strong hold on my life.. like im the God of me or something LOL But slowly surely!! we will see where i am at the end of the year!
one year later..ok so God must of known that i was struggling with this because he (or she) decided that he will make sure i had no control over the events that happened in 09.. i had no control and i couldnt even begin to gain control.. i just had to trust that God will make it alright.. i think ive grown alot in this area.. i give myself a B+
3. I wont worry about how I affect other peoples self esteem…ive been doing this since I was a child.. I make myself appear not as smart or pretty so that people wont hate on me… yes im smart, pretty, and I make more money then you..get over it
Thank goodness this is on the list because i have been doing just that! I feel so much better about myself and my self esteem is right where it should be.... yall should try this
one year later...i havent really had a problem with this till towards the end of the year when someone close to me said i think im better than him... that really hurt and made me go back into my shell.. ive never put myself above anyone..ever.. if anything i see myself on the same level as everyone else and i will never lower someones self esteem for my own satisfaction...major setback for me.. this will be on the 2010 list too :(
4. I wont keep myself from buying pretty things for my apartment because I think ill be moving soon… lol im a weirdo.. no furniture and ive been in Cleveland a year and a half.. but for some reason I convince myself to not buy stuff cuz I think ill move tomorrow..
ok....shame on me... my apartment is still empty.. i still feel like ill move any second!!! Gesh! i dont even knwo what to do about it... lawd a mercy!
one year later.. ok so i moved in a really nice apartment last month and ive decided ill buy furniture.. ive already hung pictures and bought things.. im finally getting there yall! YAY A+ for meee
5. I wont eat out every freakin day.. I love restaurants but this girl can cook!!! Might as well take advantage of it
I LOVE my cooking.. i am eating sooo good and loosing weight at the same time.. and those of you who know me know i am seriously ANTI DIET but u know what? for me cooking helps me stay healthier.. and i have this great cook book... AND I AM WAITING ON A CERTAIN SOMEONE TO GIVE ME RECIPIES LOL
one year later.. ok i have really grown in this area.. i cook so much that i barely eat out! and i even have a blog with recipies!! http://thethickvegetarian.blogspot.com/ OW!!!
6. I wont neglect friends…I love yall.. I told one friend “ Im not always around.. but im here for you always” and its true I may not know where my phone is when u call but if I get a text/voicemail saying u need me I am there! but i know I need to do better which leads me to my next one..
okay i wont say i am all the way there with this one but i am doing alot better than before..Ive hung out with my friends i even visited a friend all the way in iowa! but thank heavens for text messaging!!!
one year later...i cant say that ive done great but ive given it a good try.. ill need my friends to comment on this one so i know how i did.. you can be honest!!
7. I wont “hibernate” anymore…… I am good for disappearing for months at a time and then popping up like nothing happened… mostly because I need time for myself and then I get overindulgent .. its not my fault I like ME!! But ill do better in 09
I can say i havent been in hibernation mode this year! YAY but i have been ejoying my ME TIME a whole lot.. but i love my friends and will never pass up a chance to hang out.
one year later... this is so funny because i am currently in HIBERNATION!!!! Shame on me!!!!! and i cant even think of an excuse.. and what makes it even worse... i dont even feel bad about it!!
8. I wont be scared to do things that will take me out of my comfort zone… like start that nobcche chapter in Cleveland….i hate talking in front of people!!!
okay shame on me but i have been DEEP in my comfort zone alll year!!! sigh... let me get it together.... and i know i need to do this because cleveland needs it... even thinking of it makes me nervous!!! geez!
ahhh i forgot about this oneeee!!!!!!....damn its been a whole year already??.. ok okok ill get it together in 2010.. I PROMISE!
9. I wont obsess about how I will fit everything I want to do in my life before I die… babies, nobel prize, buy a house, start a business, fall in love…. And the incan calendar ended in 2012!? yikes!!!
Okay i havent really worried about this stuff anymore.. I am just enjoying my life and trusting that God will fit the pieces together as i go along.. the thought still kinda freaks me out tho.. but im not gona think about it * shakes head* no no no
one year later... major set back for this one... my dad passed away 2 weeks ago and all i can think about is how i didnt have kids and i didnt get married so he can walk me down the isle..i know he was very proud of me but ...sigh..
10. I wont take myself so seriously… life is too short…see ,there I go again
Whoot WHoot! i play everyday!!!
one year later...i partied pretty hard in 09.. lol!!
