The List

We all have a list.  We make grocery lists, plans for our vacations and a daily chore list.  Whether we complete these lists is an entirely different matter.  However, in my case for this list that I will be discussing, I made it for another reason.  I came upon an edge of a cliff that my life needed some major changes.  More than a simple diet scheme, more than a rearranging of thoughts, but a bottom-up approach to a complete rebuilding of myself.  Over the years, with experience, I had become bitter with life and with people in general.  I was floundering with where life was leading me and where I was going.  What was I going to do?  I am too old to use the old saying “well when I grow up, I am going to do this?”  I needed to do it NOW.  I had plans for myself, but as the years continued to build, the less I felt as though I would ever achieve said dreams.  Instead of doing what I normally would do, sit and wallow in the misery of it all, I made a list.  The following is a word for word copy of what I wrote myself.

1. STOP BEING LAZY!

Don’t lay down or sit down, get up and do the things that need to be done.

2. CALM DOWN!

I know life is not always peaches and cream.  There are days it will be too hot or too cold, but you need to push through it and RELAX.

3. TIME MANAGEMENT

There is time to get done what needs to get done.  Squeeze as much time out of the day.  Find those times to write!

4. KEEP MOTIVATED!

Life will not always go your way.  There will be bad days.  Things won’t always get done.  But keep moving forward!

5. MEAL PLANNING

Weekly menus for dinner done on the weekends.  Learn to get up earlier to pack a damn lunch.  Eat breakfast!  Healthier choices, but not going overboard.

6. YOU CAN EXERCISE!

Doesn’t have to be at a gym.  Walking, Wii Fit, the stairs!  Floor work.  Even cleaning.  Find the time! *Refer to time management*

7. FIND THE POSITIVES!
