SURRENDERING THIS ONE THING

Soda came to mind first. With knowing how much of carbonated drinks I consumed last year, that was the first thing I wanted to get off my not-to list.So I had planned that this year I wasn't going to pick any sort of soda or carbonated drinks and I was hoping to camp over to fresh yoghurt as a replacement. Not like I couldn't do without it, but the times I would want a drink, I'd rather not have myself reaching for it.

Before soda, I used to only take fruits and water. A lot of it and it worked for me. All of the benefits associated with natural drinks, I received in full. Until things met change.

But far from that anyway, there are other things that I would place top at that list.Waiting for "the right time" is one. I consider this a sister to procrastination. You can say that they work hand-in-hand. The thing with the former is that it just may never happen. It's s.lot like thinking too much before making a decision. Placing so much reliance on the belief that tomorrow, everything will come together in place to make a wish an instant reality.

I had far too many plans for last year. Very realizable ones. But my schedule was packed. I easily could have done things in bits but I'd rather have that finance, location, or whatever resource I needed was in place. It wasn't okay that I had maybe two from the resources needed to embark on that goal. I wanted all and everything to be made available. And for that I kept neglecting and missing out on opportunities. It wasn't until about late last year that I decided to do some things anyway and that was a great leap that I took cause many differences have been spotted.

I can't say things are all put-together but I have come a long way. I have learned the impacts of small steps. This year, I would be outing the "wait a little, you can do everything at once/wait for the perfect time" habit. It's not just always the case. Everyday, something new takes priority and everyday we keep shifting issues that would otherwise have been handled in that moment. My goals for this year require so little(so much to me) but for each goal, I cannot afford to get it done in one moment. Steps are involved.

Also too, once I see something I want, rather than include it in my budget list, I get it immediately. I don't want to have to turn things over in my head, thinking of too many reasons I shouldn't do stuff and waiting to being everything to life all at once and then end up not accomplishing even the tiniest little thing. You grab, right?

Giving up that attitude will make me a little impatient(the good kind) with getting things done. I know a lot will change as too many of my decisions tend to meet an obstacle based on it. I would end up achieving far more.

Plus, I really want to free myself up a little and get in tune with spontaneity. The little I managed to coerce myself into doing at the latest part of last year yielded some results and set an easy path for me, making the workload a little less heavier. I want to just go in that light. And that's how it will be.
