Ok...so I realize that I am very random with my posts and have not been using this as frequently as I thought I would. So, I need to get back to my roots and remember the purpose of this blog. Basically, I am not truly "happy" and have been feeling extremely unmotivated and confused about my purpose in life. I originally started off saying that I would have a simple goal that I would like to achieve everyday. I am realizing I had been setting several goals and that it has been taxing. My career is currently very stressful and I have been bringing a lot of that stress home. So, I have decided to start a new system. I will set a "weekly" goal and post my progress as I am going. Since stress is playing a bigger role then I would like in my life right now, my goal this week is to practice meditation once daily. I will be doing the "Chopra 21-day Meditation challenge" (again!).
When I am stressed I tend to over think and instead of looking at one task at a time I become overwhelmed with everything I have to do...and as a result...I give up and do nothing at all! As a result, I continue to fall behind in my career, housework, finances, etc. So, with that said, this week I am going to set aside a half hour each day to "do something" whether it be sweep the floors, do laundry, finish my thank-you notes from my wedding, do some lesson planning or marking, etc. I know it is only a half hour but it is more then I have been doing over the last couple of months. The way I see it, if I make myself do it then at least I have accomplished something...and who knows, maybe I will spend more than half an hour doing it! Either way, my goal is a half hour each day and I am not going to "beat myself up" if I quit as soon as the clock shows that a half hour is up!
Essentially, my goals this week will allow me to feel more grounded and feel like I am accomplishing something. There are many more things that I would like to accomplish this week, but I need to start off small or I will become too overwhelmed which will defeat the purpose of this little "project".
Wish me luck!!
