Due to the increase of social activities I participated last month, I will be low key during the month of January (or much longer for that matter.) I had finally finished my book “Declutter Your Mind: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety, and Eliminate Negative Thinking”. I was upset with myself for not finishing it up much sooner since I got this book back in October. It should not have taken me so long to read it, but I wanted to make sure I read the passages thoroughly. What I enjoyed about this book is towards the back, there are a list of words that you have to jot down according to what values you associate with. You have to go over the lists a couple of times to narrow it down to 5-10 words pertaining to your personal life and work life. It was interesting for me to see what key words I thought were more important than others. In the end, the goal was to have a mission statement that applies to both areas. I’m hoping to tweak these statements, and I’ve already purchased a 2019 planner to set my goals in a 3 month grace period. According to the book, it’s easier setting shorter goals because they will lead up to the bigger goals, and I already know what it is. I’m excited to try these ideas! Hopefully this will be a good structure for me to follow.
Following our holiday party on Thursday, my friend’s birthday party was being held at her place that Friday. It was a crazy weekend, now that I look back on it. I had some time off to take from work, so I cleaned up the apartment for the most of the day. My friends picked me up and we went to a nearby Colombian restaurant to pick up an order I had placed for the party. It was nice getting everyone together. My friend looked so happy. Her boyfriend surprised her with a birthday cake topped with Cheetos! I’ve never seen anything like it before!
