1. Where did you fail in the relationship? How can you make improvements to yourself to be a stronger and more well rounded person emotionally, physically, and mentally? 2. What are you GAL activities? 3. What are some of your personal and professional goals?
Where did I fail in the relationship? I gained weight. I gave up on household chores when he did as well instead of working with him to fix it (to be fair, our house is messy/cluttered, not dirty/disgusting). I took us for granted, the same way he took me for granted.
How can you make improvements to yourself to be a stronger and more well rounded person emotionally, physically, and mentally?
Continue with IC and MC, continue with exercise and maybe increase the amount I am doing, continue reaching out to friends and being social, keeping my environment clean and comfortable. Finding new hobbies. Continuing to journal and post here. Continuing to meditate and trying to up my meditation game. Self-care.
What are you GAL activities?
I don't know what this is yet other than "get a life." I have ordered the books but they haven't come yet. I'd say probably spending more time with friends, walking the dog more, being more social at my exercise places, professional development through preparation for a possible doctorate program and conference presentations, finding a hobby?
What are some of your personal and professional goals?
I have sort of tacitly answered this already. Consider a doctorate. Publish or do research or presentations. Eventually (8 months or so from now) possibly think about a new job. Get fit. Become a healthy weight and maintain it. Find joy. Have fun. Spend more time in nature. Develop my friendships.
