A lot

It's weird to say but a lot has happen since I've blogged last.
So many experiences.
So many changes within myself.
So many realizations.
So many interests rekindled.

I'm excited. For the first time in my life I'm putting myself as a top priority.
It's weird.
It's actually kind of hard.
How can putting yourself be so hard when you already know what's best for you and your interests?
It's not like you have to have a first date with yourself and ask all the inevitable, cliche' questions...

Or maybe after awhile.. Sometimes you do?

That's what I'm doing. I'm actually stepping back and asking myself for once instead of just assuming.

What are the things that truly interest me? (Reguardless if I've meddled in them previously or not.)
What are the things that I've always wanted to do?
These questions can even get more detailed like..
What kind of art projects have I wanted to start?
What songs do I want to become the bees knees at?
What books have I been wanting to read for ages but postponing?

And the big question...

What do I want to get out of this life?

Happiness.
Success.
Self Worth.
Art.
Music.
Carefree.
Home.
Health.

Those are the things I'm mediating on.

But I realized something. Sometimes you have to get ballsy. Enough to make decisions that force you towards the right direction on getting to those things out of life.
I've made a few already.
One was very good.
One was okay.
One was god awful.
I corrected it quickly though.

I'm a very visual person. It's easier for me to accomplish things by seeing the steps or small goals to the greater plans laid out in front of me.

I have a section of wall in my room dedicated to my one year project.
It's titled on top then I have all my one year goals (what I want to get from life) on there as well. With each goal I have attached things I can do to get me to them kind of forming an uniform tail below them.
Example...

Health:
-Yoga.
-Eating Organic/natural.
-Buying a new bike/bike riding.
-Eating healthier.
-Walks in the park/neighborhood.
-Skincare routines.
-Vitamins.

Each time I start a consistent routine with one.. I pull the goal off of my wall. Even if you put a super easy thing as a goal and it is gone within a day it's at least showing you're making way towards your plans! :] This way shows me a visual representation of how close I am to accomplishing it. I tend to stay motivate that way as well seeing myself become closer and closer. :]

I'm actually putting up my goals tonight and tomorrow so I'll be sure to list them in my next post for examples and inspirations. :]
