It is February but January lingers.
For the past 15 years or so my New Year's Resolution is not to make one. Why wait to be a better person when you can start any day. New Years Resolutions tend to be pretty grand and people tend to set themselves up for failure and then disappoint themselves.
It is better to make small consistent achievable goals than just one grand goal that is done very rarely.
Buutt the getting better sleep is a good one though. Check out Sleep Hygiene with Trevor Noah
Also Year of the Tiger 22 is my lucky number! I keep flipping back and fourth with paperwork from 2021 that I forget it is indeed 2022.
Everyone has something that the Pandemic has changed their life drastically with... My thing is better work/life balance. Before the Pandemic I was working 45-60 hour work weeks, working 7 days a week. I only took 1 Sunday off once a month for almost 2 years. One advantage during working so much of that is I utilized time management. So when someone says they don't have time for me it grinds my gears. Like seriously? Yeah you just don't want to make time just say so. These days I don't stand for drama in any aspect of my life.
I've been thinking I've come a long way even in this last year last January/February I was still sleeping on a mattress on the floor in a studio apartment. It was cold, and I was working a toxic job that underpaid and overworked. I was close to failure but I did not give up.
Now in days I work hard at my own pace but then take it easy. Since last Spring I don't sleep on a mattress on the floor. I'm still trying to work on getting up a little earlier. But I didn't think I would be where I am now taking the plunge to work for myself. Set my own schedule and not have that stress and fatigue. It was rough at first with losing my wallet, and the nightmare that followed that but things can and do get better. Hang in there. Merry New Year!
