So a month has passed since I started this blog. The intention was to simply have a place where I can write about things that I come across in my day to day life. When I started this blog, I really felt like I needed to change my lifestyle because I didn’t like the type of person I was becoming. So I started with this whole new lifestyle plan and I did stick with it for a good time but then I just stopped caring.I ended up back to square one, again disappointed with myself. So I had a good think about why I always end up in the same position and here is what I’ve come up with:
I’m one of those people who see a new opportunity and simply go for it. This I think is great but then I see another opportunity and then I go for that one too and then another and another and so on- you get the point. I spread myself too thin and so in the end I’m actually left with missed opportunities. I never actually am able to fully dedicate myself to that one opportunity and really make the best out of it. This was one of my main issues this month.
This leads me nicely to my other point. Do you see that I was on the right track and that I was really trying to make the most of everything? But this led me to spiral down. WHY? How do others do it? Well, after giving it some thought and researching a bit, the answer is simple. I started this blog because ‘I didn’t like the type of person I was becoming’ but then I never actually gave much thought to really who I wanted to be. I had vague ideas and I had my little goals that I wanted to achieve but I never thought of the whole picture! I never put those little goals in context. This meant that I wasn’t able to prioritise properly and why I always just ended up where I was. I lacked vision. This also meant that it was always easy for me to create lazy options when it came to doing the work and putting in the effort.
Now I think I’ve found the issue so I’m going to put it into practise this month. If you feel like you’re in the same position as me then do this with me. Get a pen and a paper and just write your vision for the end of this month or perhaps for the end of next month. Don’t go crazy and try to be realistic. Set your vision and then of course make the small targets that you will need to achieve to live that vision. Let’s do this!
