breathe...just breathe
Life is a lot happier nowadays. I honestly think it was all stress, and not being able to see my family and boyfriend for the holidays. I have everything worked out so where I can go home for December 23rd and 24th. I'm so happy now, because I miss my family so much.
I'm also back in the routine of working out again. I forgot how happy and productive it made me feel. I jog on the treadmill sometimes, but mostly I powerwalk during Gilmore Girls for 45 minutes. It's better than nothing, I suppose. I also love spinning classes....it really makes me feel good about myself.
I read this Zen Habits blog, and one of the suggestions was to make yourself accept where you are in life right now, as opposed to constantly thinking about the future. And that was a big part of my stress. I constantly think about studying for the GRE, grad school, do I want to go back this fall, where do I see myself in 5 years, how can I get a raise, ect ect. I have finally reached a point in my life, that I AM a grown up now. I can do this on my own, work 40+ hours a week, love my job, and come home and relax. The money comes in time and experience...until then i'll just have to watch my spending. And after all of this, and making myself aware of this new trait I have, St. Joseph told us we're getting a raise...and then...I was offered the next person to have weekends off!! Hopefully things are falling in place just like I have planned...I just have to sit back and breath sometimes before they can happen.
