Chapter One:

I’m Changing My Life.

Telling the online world about myself has never really appealed. It’s always seemed like something done by others, something for those with exciting lives and enviable haircuts. Successful people. Happy people. People who’ve got their shit together. People that are not like me.

Who would really want to waste their hours learning about a 29-year-old woman, who has spent the majority of her years giving in and giving up? How could a wasted life bring any value to the table? I’ve coasted. I’ve coasted for years. I’ve allowed depression and anxiety to consume me and dominate my life. Given it full control over the path I’ve trodden. Tended it and nurtured it. Listened to it and believed it. Used it as an excuse to give in, used it as an excuse for who I’ve become.

I refuse to live that way anymore.

Yes, I’ve said that before. Yes, I’ve failed before. But that’s not who I am anymore. And I’m going to prove that to myself. I’m going to Try.

Over the next 365 days, I am going to change my life.

So maybe, just maybe, my value can be in proving to anyone who may read this one day that it is possible to tell your mental health problems to get fucked and build the life you deserve to live.

How I’m Going to Change My Life.

Each day, I am going to take steps towards living with purpose. Each week, I will update this quaint Tumblr bloggy thing with how I’ve gone.

What I will achieve

pride in myself, knowing that I gave this process 100%

a sense of confidence and self-worth - raise my standards

my degree (GPA 5.5 minimum)

travel overseas

finish my book

be a better friend and stay in contact with loved ones

be kind

keep my living spaces clean and tidy

a fit bod bod - moving about and eating nourishing food

to live a truth I’m proud of

prove myself to be reliable, only commit when I know I can follow through

stick to my budget

save a house deposit

read one book every week

stick to my routine and develop acceptable time management skills

... there are many things

What I will do each day

get out of bed before 0800 each day

meditate

eat properly

write down three things I’m grateful for in my journal

finish my to-do list, and write a new one for the next day

read

exercise

take my dog for a walk

record all money I spend

do all the basic self-care/hygiene things that will allow me to look, act and smell like a proper human being.

What I will do each week

make sure all bills are paid

complete any and all university tasks ready for the week ahead

attend each and every class, meeting, training session to which I have committed

assess the steps I’ve taken and set myself new goals for the week ahead

post an update here, to hold myself accountable

So, here we go...

This is happening. I am going to chip through these suffocating layers of self-hatred and self-pity. I am going to become the person I know I can be. And I’m going to post about it here. It will be tough at times, but I am determined to give everything I have over the next 365 days.

I can do this.

It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge and express gratitude to my inspiration for this journey; so thank you, Dottie James.

Getting ready to move. Packing all things. Trying the scooter transport mode. . Stress. Relaxed. In-between. Finishing things. Using the space. Enjoying the view. . I didn't intend on posting this to my feed. It's more of a story shot. But then again. Life is not just a story. My feed, not just art. It's about life. And finding where I am going. . I am still in discovery mode. Some restful time. But I am also restarting. Becoming more active. Shooting video. Recording audio. Getting ready to publish. It's coming, and I hope you are with me. . Let's try change. . #tryingchange #scootertransport #baliscooter #leaving #travelselfie https://ift.tt/2ICPCNT

Cambiar mi vida

Mi fuente de inspiración para todo esto que intento hacer es una chica llamada Dottie James quien dice creer que puede cambiar su vida en 365 días. Ella se ha propuesto diferentes actividades que cree que necesita para cambiar su vida de una forma más positiva y satisfactoria.

Personalmente creo que es algo muy humano creer en que debemos mejorar progresivamente, nunca queremos ser iguales, siempre estamos cambiando y evolucionando nuestros sueños y nuestras metas. Como todas las personas, estoy en una crisis en la cual me he estancado por no decidirme que hacer, cómo mejorar o cómo cambiar.

Cada acción que realizamos, la forma en la que hacemos las cosas, la forma en la que nos expresamos y tomamos todo lo que se nos presenta en el día, define nuestro rumbo y nuestra relación con el mundo.

A mi me cuesta trabajo todo porque todo me pesa, todo lo veo como una tarea exhaustiva y nada me llena, mi actitud a la vida es muy mala. Siempre siento que algo malo va a pasar, que no merezco nada bueno que me pase y que estoy destinada al fracaso.

Nunca me creo de lo que soy capaz, de lo buena que puedo llegar a ser si tan sólo explotara mis talentos. El problema es que no me creo lo buena que soy para varias cosas: puedo aprender todo rápido sime lo propongo, puedo hacer mil cosas y aprender a hacer mil cosas, tengo sentido de lógica pero me falta creer en mí, creer que puedo y en quitarme esa flojera, ese pesar que llevo cargando por años.

Quiero disfrutar más mi vida, esta etapa en la que todavía puedo tener el lujo de no preocuparme demasiado por las cosas, la etapa en la que todavía puedo aprender y hacer y crear y no cansarme de mi. Esta etapa en la que puedo ser bonita por dentro y por fuera y que mi juventud no debe desperdiciarse siendo miserable.

Tengo muchas ideas, muchos proyectos y tengo muchas ganas de crear. Quiero ser la mejor persona:

-La mejor mujer, novia, hermana, hija y trabajadora.

Quiero ser reconocida pero principalmente por mi, pensar en mi como en algo que siempre me ha gustado hacer y ser.

Tengo una lista ENORME de cosas que debo hacer, así que empezaré por lo más simple: romper hábitos, crear unos mejores y aprender algo de manera sistemática, empezar lo que siempre he querido empezar: mi propia columna, mi propia marca personal. Quiero ser lo que siempre dije que sería: una escritora. No me interesa que me lean en miles de lugares, quiero empezar a escribir y a no guardar NADA. El internet me da una herramienta poderosa: puedo inventarme, reinventarme, crearme, destruirme. Nada está escrito, no me interesa ganar premios o reconocimeintos, me interesa demostrarme que me atrevo y que puedo, creer en mi como lo hace mi madre, mi abuela o mi pareja.

He hecho muchas cosas que antes no creía que haría ¿por qué detenerme ahora? tengo el poder de cambiar mi vida DIARIO.

Reglas a seguir en este reto personal:

1) No me voy a agobiar. Se trata de intentar y de nunca dejar de intentar.

2) No a fuerza tengo que cumplir TODO lo que quiero en mi lista. Sino que el chiste es intentarlo y estar encaminada y sentir que lo intente, pero que en verdad lo intenté,no que lo abandoné a medio camino.

3) Empezar algo y terminarlo (sobre todo si es un curso o un trámite)

4) Dejar de lado todo lo que me quita luz y me resta energía sana (peleas, chisme, pensamientos negativos, sentimientos de dejar de intentar)

5) Se vale estar agotada y mandar todo a la mierda (brevemente) caer es parte de crecer, las crisis nos hacen fuertes.

6) Aprender a amarme y ver todo para mi bien.

7) No intentar TODO de golpe porque me voy a aburrir.

8) Todas las noches repasar lo que hice en el día y agradecerme a mi y a la vida por estar haciendo mi vida.

9)Revisar diario mis escritos con mis metas e intentos.

10) Puedo cambiar de parecer y está bien, haciendo descubro que es lo que me gusta y que no es lo que me gusta. Intentar también es aceptar que algo es mero capricho y no algo que en verdad me va a sumar..

Ya quiero empezar esto.

28 of 31 : #inktober Here, is my very first attempt at trying something very different. Using the word prompt, I thought I’d take you for an actual #ride with words in a style called #blackoutpoetry ✍🏽 🖤 : : • [incase the words were too small the creation is typed below] • “ home. gave me words I lived study survive escape unexpectedly trouble explained to me there can be no real escape. “ - 28 of 31 . #instapoetry / #creativity / #tryingchange / #writingcommunity / #writersofig / #poetsofig / #home / #cardiff / #wales / #waterlootea / #artsy / #perception / #oldbooks / https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SSHnIge5m/?igshid=13ylhm47g68qe
