The Why

If you are trying new year, new you… don’t do it just because of expectation. You should know why. It should be things you have put off. The things that sit in your mind and you have dwelled on them forever. Stuff that you never find time for or don’t make a priority because of everything else. There is no time like the present to do those things. It takes a lot of repetition to create new patterns. Make sure you know, you are fine the way you are. The fact remains we sit on ideas, and it may be time to explore those things. I still count September as my New Year. I find motivation is low, weather is cold and it doesn’t make much seem appealing. Don’t do it just because the calendar rolled over.

While I drag things out of closets I find things that remind me of other things I wanted to do. Why haven’t I done them? Well my adventurous self lives in the summer season. That season is also when I do not stay inside, so being a productive person for making or starting a project doesn’t really get started. My option is winter. That is where I am at, so that’s where I should start. Hibernation will have to be for the bears this year.

I need to build a fire under my tired, cold body and get to it. I wrote down a few things to complete for January. I could have written two pages, but that would send me back under the covers as the realization sets in that I may be reaching a bit far. Three things is plenty and if I finish them before the end of January, I will write down more. It made for a very busy day for me today, but it is a start.
