2014

Well I know I am a bit late posting my first blog of the year, but hey better late then never :)
Since the new year is the time to make resolutions and to try and improve one self, I decided to take a look at my life and figure out what needs to change. I want to be happy in 2014. It is that simple.
So what is making me not happy?
Working three jobs was tiring, but the thing I hated most about it was not spending time with my family and not having any me time. So I quite the one job. Now I have more time, but I want to ensure it is quality time. Not just sitting around while everyone is on a device of some kind. So I will make a consouse effort to spend quality time with my family. And also make sure I have sometime just for me.
The second thing in my life that is making me not happy is stress. Crazy right? Who would have thought stress could make a person unhappy? However it is true. Now the really crazy thing is, if I am totally honest (and who better to be totally honest with then random strangers who may stumble across my blog) most of my stress is self induced. I have a very bad ostrich approach to unplesent things. I stick my head in the ground and hope it passes me by. Ofcourse life does not work that way. Problems start to pile up, and I feel overwhelmed and stressed out. On the other hand with some things I tend to flip out and over react. In these situations I am stressed out, and then I stress out over my reaction. So this year I plan on trying to handle things as they come up and not flip out over others. Less stress is my goal.
The third thing is my health. My health has not been the greatest. Since I am not ignorant I am well awere that a lot of it comes from my weight and eating habbits. Though I am not sure that is the only thing causing me problems. So my goal is to become healthier. Simple right?
:)
To sum up my goals:
* More quality family and me time
* Less stress
* healthier me
It sounds so simple on paper, but I know there is a lot of hard work ahead of me. This will be a complete lifestyle change.
But you know what? I think I can do it.
