it's been a while since i've written to you all. things have been crazy, and i've fallen behind in a lot of things...which brings me to the topic of this blog: time management.
i just left a time management workshop tonight. i was hoping she had some quick tips to help me reverse my horrible procrastination habits and fix my poor time management so that i could actually get everything done to the best of my ability...AND that i could enjoy it while i was doing it. turns out there aren't any fast and hard tips(ugh, are you serious?!). she helped me realize that not only would changing my ways take time but it would involve me figuring out what i wanted, what my priorities are, and moving forward from there. i also realized that a lot of my time is spent dodging my feelings, unpleasant situations, etc. if i just took time on the front end to deal with w/e comes my way instead of using MORE time and energy to avoid it, then i'd have better mental health and more time on my hands! great realization, right?
ehh...kinda. :-/
here's the thing. now that i'm actually paying attention to my thoughts, my emotions, and all that stuff, i feel a whole lot worse a whole lot of the time!!! i mean, ignorance definitely wasn't bliss...but it felt a heck of a lot better than being hyper-aware of every. single. emotion. i feel on a daily basis. in spite of this reality, i really want to begin intentionally working on some of the things that are holding me back...family issues, self-esteem issues, dealing with past mistakes...so that these aren't problems that prevent me from moving forward and being the awesome person God made me to be.
of course, you'll be along for this journey...i hope you're ready :-)
p.s. my "Running Through Life" campaign kinda lost it's fizzle lol but it hasn't completely been dropped. look out for the post about that!
