So tired these days. New Year started with too much pressure and worrying over things that are out of my control. What to do on those days? I try organizing my house and my schedule assuming this will help me get through things.
Home Organization
This is actually a crucial subject. I used to think that cleaning is a waste of time. As soon as I start living on my own, I realized that my room reflects my mood. Being untidy is a state of mind. Being in war with your living space is not a healthy thing. You should feel at piece when you are home. If you are staring in disgust to your kitchen counters, it is time for an action.
I just do not know how to handle this part though. First of all, it is not only me. There is a messy husband involved who is better at cleaning but far worse than shooting the dirties into the bin. Untidiness is only one aspect of our situation. Than there are things you can not even figure out the purpose of their existence. For example, when we were in Turkey, we purchased a devise to cut chestnuts both ways at once to save time. The problem is, we maybe bbq chestnuts once a year. So what is the purpose of saving time from cutting chestnuts. We are surrounded and trapped by excess. I even have developed a phobia: whenever I entered to our garage, I am scared that I will discover a dead rat. Thanks to investing heavily onto industrial strength shelves and shoe racks, I am getting over my phobia.
Also, 'Small tiny boxes' strategy does not work for me because I can not remember where anything is. Big size vacuumable bags are awesome to save space. It is funny that I don't even offer a pillow to my staying guests not to unvacuum one of those.
I would like to turn one of my guest rooms into a hobby room. It is possible with a nice color on the walls and pieces of basic furniture. Maybe hanging a big size mirror and some light color on the wall can lighten up things. I want to have my own space in my own house.
Exercise Issue
Ok, I am happy that I to him. But making a program for two is complicating things. Now, I want to exercise. I have a super cool gym membership which I keep even during the most difficult financial times. But I can not go. He wants to work out in the morning and he prefers to sleep. Every morning same thing. No, I do not hate him just yet. But, I think he deserves a punishment. How about I go after work and look smokin hot in no time? Yes, I am my own solution. I better get my lazy ass of the couch.
Healthy Diet Issue
There is nothing I want to quit. Because I tried it and failed million times. But maybe I can manage sacrifices here and there. As much as I can remember, I usually try to eliminate certain types of foods from my diet. Instead of cutting, how about I add food that I am supposed to eat. I would never eat berries instead of chocolate. Instead of feeling guilty about eating chocolate, how about I add a bow of berries every day to my diet. Ok sweety, here are the portions of healthy food you need to consume everyday on top of nasty ones. I am assuming that in time I will be able to cut on unhealthy staff due to space limitation. This is not a proven method. Do not take my word for it. But last night, I forced myself eating a bowl of mixed, fresh berries topped with plain yogurt and a table spoon of honey right before my tea and biscuits routine. Guess what happened? It was so disgusting that by the time I finished the bowl, it was way passed my sleeping time. So, I could not drink tea and eat biscuits. Ok, cutting to the chase, drink water as much as you can. Probably, blotting will sort things out.
Clothing Issue
I have been through a lot last year. Regular hormone shuts in efforts to get pregnant. I could not get pregnant but I put on 12 pounds. It is crazy really. Saved up money, spend it all for a disappointing result, and end up with hard to lose weight. I do not want to even think about it. For now, my style is shabby chic, lots of dark something to cover up. But I am working on it. For a better, happier person.
In my opinion ladies, everybody should exercise and pump oxygen to their cells. This is the only healthy, awesome way to increase your energy level, clear your mind, and get back on your feet. And have fun doing it. Does not matter what it is but remember to move.
Accomplishments will be posted.
