Journaling- I'm tired at times of being around someone who just complains but doesn't do much to change it and looks to others to provide his happiness. There, I said it! My H really annoys me when he is like that I really don't like him when he acts that way. I'm done with feeling guilty or trying to do a song and dance to get him to feel better.
I feel like crap and I am doing something to change and a lot of times, I still feel like crap! But I am doing something about it! God, I feel like so much of this can be avoided if I just stick to minding my own business most times.
So much of this stems, I think, from trying to do it all myself. I really need to drop the rope and make a list of personal goals that I would like to achieve.
Here are a few: 1. Get back into shape, return to running 2. Reclaim my former sense of style (or at least one that is fitting for an almost mid-30s) 3. Find a new job 4. Work on personal debt and begin to build savings 5. Take classes to improve job skills, maybe treat myself to a non-job related class
I've been playing around with a couple of these goals. For me the key is to have some that are flexible and some that are not. The non-flexible are the ones that keep me in line and the flexible ones function either as rewards or ways to be less stringent with myself. I work in extremes and am known for doing to much and then hating myself when I don't or can't accomplish my goals.
Maybe I should set up goals for each week until I start to make serious progress. I would love suggestions from other dbers as to what their goals are and how they manage them.
