In the last four months, I have had multiple ideas of what I should write in a blog. It seems odd that I have not posted a blog in that time.
I have decided to take the approach of some of the things I have learned about myself/life in the last four months. Perhaps they can help others in some way.
- Protect what you have
It sounds straightforward, “Protect what you have.” Meaning, the relationships you have, the self-improvement you’ve gone through. Protect it. There are other things I am sure can relate to this section, but for example… Don’t let something or someone creep into the aspects of your life that you don’t want messed up- or know that something or someone might do more harm than good. You are under no obligation to let things or people in that are just going to sit there and half-a** it and therefore, do not and should not get your time of day. Self-improvement is hard. But rebuilding yourself because something messed with it- would be more frustrating in my opinion.
- Learn and then learn some more
This can be learning life lessons to as simple as learning a hobby. In the last four months, I have been improving on hobbies. I skied blues for the first time and did not eat it. I also biked down the majority of drops at Slick Rock which is rated as a difficult trail. My asthma could agree with that. I also have been getting better at manual. Though- I rolled my boyfriend’s truck into a fence and now I have a lovely shop cost. But hey, I am better than I was when I was not as familiar with driving a manual. Win some you lose some. I have noticed that when it comes to learning something and getting better at it- reaction plays a big part. How you react and how you handle the wins and fails speaks volumes. And not just when you fall off a volume while rock climbing… 😉
- Whiskey
I think I have a love hate reaction to whiskey. I either get super sad or super happy. I become very talkative and want to fix or admit all of my problems. I can see why people make the joke about alcohol being a therapist. I don’t drink much, but I can get a therapy sesh in thanks to a bourbon sidecar. I may joke about drinking related to myself, but I do not take alcoholism lightly. If you have a drinking problem or think you might have one, please seek help from a professional.
- Just Send it
Worry. I have always believed in relieving the stress one holds by lowering their worry meter. Sometimes you just have to let go and send it.
