Entry 2: 90 Day Journey to Self-Freedom

Entry 2:

I wanted to share my 90 day goal list with you.  I have completed some of it and to be completely honest I’m not sure if I will complete the whole list within 90 days however, the list will be completed.  Over the next several entries I will discuss different goals I have on my list and why I chose those particular ones.  Today is day 74!  I have sent the last 74 days without Facebook, TV, and working overtime.  The reason I choose to go without FB was simply, I was addicted to it. I was spending hours looking at the profiles and pictures of people I haven’t spoken to in years or if ever!  People are so nosey, me included but why?  Really, why is it necessary to know what everyone on FB doing? If you want to know what they are doing, PICK UP THE PHONE!  I say that really preaching at myself, not you.  J  No T.V.!  I can’t lie, I have watched some TV but not like I was.  I would get home from work and the TV would be on from then until I went to bed!  WHAT was I thinking, filling my time and head with crap.  Well, not all crap but most of it was.  So, now, I’m lucky if the TV even gets turned on when I get home.  I choose not to work overtime because I don’t get paid to work overtime so, I stopped.  I spent hours a day doing absolutely nothing with my time.  When I realized I was wasting precious minutes of my life on nothing, I knew I had to really change my attitude and fast.  I HAD to stop this trend or I would never get out of my depression or self-wallowing canyon I was in and believe me it was one hell of a canyon.  The sad thing about this all is I knew I had been depressed for some time, like a long time but if you have ever been depressed, you know it’s not like you can turn on the lights and you are no longer in the dark.  Depression is a cruel harsh world to live in.  However, my depression will have to be a story for another day.  Today is just about showing you my goal list!  So, on July 4^th, our nation’s birthday, I decided to stop crying, worrying, and feeling sorry for myself, did I mention “crying” and have an independence day from/for myself and I wrote my goal list!  To set things straight, this “independence day” didn’t happen overnight.  It took nearly a year to surface with a lot of love, support and reality checks.  So, here it is!  I would encourage you to sit down by yourself and write out some random goals of your own.  Maybe you have a room you want to clean in your house, lose weight, buy something nice for yourself, see the Lady Liberty, call an old friend to say hello, raft the Grand Canyon, or simply treat yourself with a glass of your favorite wine and movie. The possibilities are endless. Share your goal list with me!
