Alright internet. It's late, I have shit I have to to, projects i need to complete (for class, tomorrow!) and I have to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for work first thing in the morning. Basically, I should be getting my projects done, but in spite of having a day to get things organized and completed, I have completed scarcely any work towards that goal.
And here I am writing about it.
So basically, I haven't been the happiest Scotty over that past few weeks and months. Too often I feel that all I do is work, sleep and work again. I have found little time to focus on myself or my own personal goals. I feel tired when I get home and if I have much time to spare I whither much of it away surfing the internet or watching videos, while I dream of being productive feel I lack the energy to be so.
And now what? Do I beat myself up over my lull in accomplishment? No. No I don't. In fact when I reflect back on the past few months, I can say with confidence that I've gotten a lot done:
-I have booked myself to be an exhibitor at an upcoming
bridal show as a photographer.
-I have began a web-design class at NSCC (the final project of which I am currently procrastinating over.)
-I took in a student to tutor in photography throughout September and October.
-I saved up and bought a car (which has already been paid off in full!)
-I joined a website to sell prints of my photographs (granted I only have one image up, but I did this yesterday.)
-I launched
my own website (though it is still in an alpha/beta version.)
-Finished reading a good book (Thank you Terry Prachett & everyone who has pointed me to you; Peter, Haleigh!)
-Joined the Halifax Photo Society and have been an active member.
I could probably come up with a few more things, but that should do for now. The point is that in spite of actually getting several things done (and being damn proud of it,) I am left feeling like I could do more, or at least be more organized about it.
I've decided to start working on some New-Years' style resolutions a little early. These will not be finite or career-oriented goals as my recent accomplishments have been. I want to work on habits to help to structure my life. Some things I am hoping to better incorporate are daily exercise, daily planning, reading good books, daily meditation, serving others, involvement in the community and continuing to do a few thing like tracking spending and watching my diet (though, hopefully with some exercise, I will finally begin to gain weight.)
Now oddly, the one thing I know I'll need the most help with is exercise. I'd like like to join a gym so I can man-up my shoulders a little. My arms look a little too much like I work in customer service and push mice around all day. Even as I keep doing that, I would like to look and feel like I do other things too. So... anyone know if there is a good gym around at reasonable rates?
Any thoughts on all this?
Have you done anything you're proud of in the past few months?
Got any helpful website design tips?
Anyone need a gym buddy?
