Over the past few weeks I haven’t blogged a lot, mainly because I have been in a rut. Earlier this year I left my job to take care of my daughter full time, and in the mean time I was supposed to finish my Masters. Well I realized that staying at home is a totally different world than working…I originally had all these plans of things I could do but I quickly realized it doesn’t work that easily. And eventually this took a toll on me! I felt like I was getting everything done except the things that I wanted to accomplish…such as losing weight, getting pregnant again, finishing school, and growing my blog. Well I know one thing is for sure and that is that everything happens in Gods timing and although I have a plan that doesn’t mean it’s going to play out that way. And it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen overnight…
Now I feel like I have handle on the goals I want to accomplish! And I’m not in a rush to complete them! I am working on my blog, and I have a notebook dedicated to my ideas and things I need to complete in order to grow! I have joined weight watchers and I walk daily with my family 2-3 miles, this helps me work towards my goal and keeps me focused!! Also, Darrick and I are working on being healthy together…which is a bonus and also motivation to keep me going! School has taken somewhat of a backseat at the moment, but I’ve accepted it! And getting pregnant, I’m not worried about it anymore it will happen when God says its time. But in the meantime I feel I need to drop some weight so I don’t run the risk of having complications due to my weight when I do get pregnant!
I also felt was down because I felt like I was “just a mom” and although that is my most important job I wasn’t taking it that way! But I soon had a breakthrough (Thank You Jesus…because I was tired of feeling like this)….I had a conversation with friend who works from home that told me what I was feeling was normal and gave me pointers on how to overcome these feelings! She told me to take pride in the things I am doing and working on and although it gets hard just keep pushing!! I totally took that conversation to heart and have been working my plan with a lot of prayer or guidance along the way!! I have also learned to work at MY OWN PACE!!! That has been vital in accomplishing these goals…not to work at anyone’s pace but my own!!!!
What do you do to get yourself out of a rut?
How do you accomplish your personal goals? Do you write it out, blog about it, put them in your calendar?
