Ahhh! So here I am. Its been about 5 months since I made the decision that I wanted to start a blog, but due to my constant procrastination and excuses, I held off. Now, here I am writing my first blog. Actually, to be honest I had written a “first post” on a completely different page, but as you could have guessed, I gave up on that. I’m not exactly the best at keeping a routine and creating a habit for myself.
It’s not like I’ve lived a life full of lack of routine, but in the past few years, I certainly have had little routine set up for myself. At first, I didn’t feel too bad about it, if anything I barely noticed. I was working full time, after all. However, as the years piled up, it has been absolutely daunting on me, in almost every way possible. I absolutely hate it. My mental health has absolutely gone to shit, and I am ready for change.
I chose to do something I swore I would never do, which was quit a job without another job lined up. I made sure I would be safe financially to take time off and work on improving my mental health. With this time off, my goal is to create a routine for myself that makes me feel content and happy. In addition to the routine, I want to create new and healthy habits for myself, while eliminating the poor habits I have developed.
This is huge for me, and I want to be able to hold myself accountable and actually follow through. This is something I deeply struggle with personally. I’m not sure if there are others who struggle the same way I do, but if by chance it is, maybe my future posts will be able to help you. Welcome to my journey.
