It has been awhile. These past few months have been daunting for me, but it is also my fault that I haven’t gotten as far as I have wanted.
Some things that have occurred this year so far, I have quit my job to work for the business I own, and I found out I am pregnant. Two very loaded events to happen in my life. Neither of these were planned to happen as soon as they did, but it worked out for the better.
So, the past six months I have been working on being more disciplined while not having anyone watch over me. It is definitely one of the hard skills I’ve had to work on. Modern technology has brought us social media, which is great to stay in contact with others, but along with it is a huge distraction. I have been struggling to not go on and start scrolling for hours. It is honestly one of the hardest addictions I have tried to get over. For now, I have put a time limit on my apps, this allows me to go on them to post if I need, but then locks me out if is past my time.
The other life event was finding out I was pregnant at the beginning of June. This was a shock to us. We are both very happy and excited for it, but then the first trimester really hit. I got very nauseous at the beginning, and it was hard for me to work or live. After about 6 rough weeks, it got a lot better, but the new issue was getting all of my habits back on track. If you have been pregnant, you know how tired you get. So, it has been a struggle.
Finally, August came and went and I was very upset with the lack of productivity I had in the month. So, September is my month. I’m starting anew. I need to get back into some of my old habits and start being more productive. I have fallen behind on so many of my projects and have left so many unfinished promises. I want to end the year on a strong note, so then when baby comes, hopefully I will be okay. Having good habits and discipline will make some things easier while becoming a new mom, easier than trying to start new with a newborn.
Here is starting. It doesn’t matter when you do, but if you know you are lacking or are upset with yourself, then just start. Don’t wait until next week or a better day. Just do it. Even if it is a small portion or chunk. Just do it!
