I mentioned that I am going home to Australia for a visit in February and have only seven weeks to get as fit and healthy as I can in preparation for the emotional turmoil such a reunion will bring. I have a wonderful family and good friends back home but I find I have moved on from a lot of relationships there (and the distance has truly proven who real friends are). When I go back, I want to fortify myself and the best way I know how is to feel as good about myself as I possibly can. That way any well-meaning individuals who in the past may not have treated me the way I would have liked them to, can still do what they want and say what they think and will still freely give their opinions on my life, but I will be stronger and not take their 'advice' to heart.
So I planned and organised and did bubble diagrams all to figure out the best way to make myself feel as good as I can. What will make me happy? How can I break this down to a measurable action? And finally I created the Chart. It's beautiful (to me) and took the better part of a day to create. I then went grocery shopping and bought some stickers and coloured pens and now every day I am checking boxes and colouring in and putting smiley stickers down when I have completed an objecticve for the day. Am i a bit anal? Yes. But it's making me feel good and that is what is important.
