Happy Monday my loves! It is a brand new day and a brand new week. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. My weekend was spent pretty much as usual, chores, writing relaxing and preparing myself mentally and physically for the week ahead. If you recall, one of my goals (awhile back) was to write various personal posts about me. Afterall, in order to truly get to know me; you would have to know ABOUT me. One thing that I had to learn is that I am not perfect. No matter what my friends may believe. I figured I would share with you some of my worst habits that I am actively trying to change.
My life can be pretty hectic and I do not consume alcohol often; only in social settings. Even then, I closely monitor my alcohol intake. I am a lightweight and getting tipsy is relatively easy for me. Ever since I was a child I enjoyed soda. Not just any soda; Coca-Cola Classic. It was the subject of my college marketing project. It accompanied every meal. I can still tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. Even though Coca-Cola is my favorite beverage; I am learning especially now how to incorporate other drinks into my diet. I was so pleased to see that Coca-Cola came out with other calorie friendly beverages with different flavors; which I fully intend to try. I don’t intend to fully remove Coca-Cola from my diet, therefore I have chosen to limit my consumption. Baby steps! LOL
I am sure you heard the statement to forgive others that have hurt you, right? Well, this is something that doesn’t come easily to me. I tend to hold a grudge for a long period of time. Eliminating all unnecessary communication with that person. Family members included. I would purposely avoid any activity or event knowing that individual would be there. Childish? Perhaps so, but it was my way of protecting myself and my sanity. This year I plan on learning and implementing the art of forgiveness. Letting go past issues and moving forward. Life is too short and holding on to grievances will only hurt me. I am done with that! Next.
I am a horrible communicator. I have had many friends throughout the years and because of one reason on another I have not fostered the relationship. In some cases, I have resorted to merely texting the individual sporadically. That is no way to keep and/ or maintain a friendship. I feel so horrible when there is a milestone or special event and I am the last to know. Even when I see the person, my heart is filled with so much love and emotion because I truly missed them. This year I would make it a priority to pick up the phone and talk to my friends. Texting will only be used to confirm brunch and dinner plans.
What are your worst habits? How do you plan to eliminate them this year? Let me know!
Until Next Time…
I have been seriously lacking motivation lately. I’ve gotten so used to being inactive that it’s takiing me forever to get back to the blogger grind. I’ve been taking baby steps to bring me back to full productivity, which boosts my spirit and makes me eager to accomplish more!! Baby steps lead to great strides!!
I understand lack of motivation. It can be a little challenging. However, I find holding on to the reason why you created your blog will hopefully bring you back to your normal self. Good Luck! Looking forward to reading future posts. :o)
