Things I’m currently thinking about but will probably forget about tomorrow.
4 Comments There might be some stuff mentioned here that’s TMI. So, sorry, but you’ve been warned.
1. I need to declutter my life. My house is so full of stuff – just stuff – that I don’t need or that isn’t organised. We’ve been in our house for almost two months and I still have numerous boxes to unpack. For the stuff we need to keep, I need to get shelves and such.
2. In relation to above point 1, I need to organise myself. Mentally and physically. No wonder I have such a hard time finding things when everything is such a mess. I need to downgrade, and put things away after using them. Everything needs a place, and if there’s no place for it, get rid of it.
3. I need to lose weight. I don’t mean fast and I don’t mean unhealthily – I am just sick of looking in the mirror and seeing fat rolls and huge thighs. I don’t want my thighs to rub together anymore. I want the freedom of wearing a skirt without the tops of my thighs chaffing.
4. I want money. I need to learn to put some aside, to save some. I’m so terrible when it comes to money – it’s like, I earn some, then think what an awesome job I’ve done, and go out to buy myself something. I’m then left with nothing again. If we want a family, I need to save money.
5. I need a sanctuary. A corner of a room with a comfy chair and bookshelves-galore where I can just chill and not worry about the mess (see points 1 & 2) that surrounds me.
6. I want more time for my Craft and my spirituality. I have always seen myself as a spiritual being, but the last year or so, I’ve felt very alone spiritually. I feel I’m not spreading my wings, grasping for more – I’m simply sitting stagnant. I’d love to be personally coming to some of the conclusions and realisations that, say, Jessica Mullen and Kelly Cree are coming to in their lives.
7. I want a better ‘personal’ life. Yes, I mean sex. It’s not terrible, but it could be better. I’m so tired most of the time that I can’t be bothered – another reason for me to lose weight – I want energy and drive. I feel bad when I’m not ‘up to it’. We’ve gone from 3, 4 sometimes 5 times a week to maybe that per month. Time to improve that area.
8. I need and want space. Being in a loving, wonderful relationship for so long (close to 7 years) has been an absolute blessing, but I need some time to myself sometimes. This is something Hubby doesn’t quite understand a lot of the time – he feels it’s me getting bored with him and any discussion about this sort of thing ends up in arguments. But I’m so independent in my nature that I need this breathing space. I’m an Aquarian!!! And there’s going to be less of a chance of this once we start trying for a baby, so I want this time while I can have it.
9. I want satisfaction. I want to be 99.9% satisfied and happy with what I have, and right now, I’m probably sitting at about 50%. And by what I have, I don’t mean material items. I want to be healthy, know where I’m headed in life, and happy with my current situation.
good luck with your goals

A calm, organized, and clean home, spiritual fulfillment, financial security, and physical health are all really good goals. I also think they tie into each other really well. My advise to you is to break it into smaller, maneagable chunks. You can’t clean and organize your entire house in one day, but you can clean and organize one shelf, or unpack one box every day. Over time, it will get cleaner and cleaner, and before you know it, you’re done. I think it’s a really good idea to make yourself a “happy place” to relax, read, and possibly study your Craft. Maybe that can be your first “clean and organize goal”? I always feel better spiritually when I’m exercising regularly – can you make a goal to get some form of exercise 3x in a week. That would also help with weight and fitness. Also, the more fulfilled I am spiritually, the less I look to physical things (like food and new toys) as rewards.
I can’t really comment on your sex life, but if you think that losing weight will make you feel more…amorous…it’s worth a try! Also, it’s my belief that sex starts a long time before you ever take your clothes off. I find I’m more amorous when Mike and I make it a point to hang out together and to do little nice things for each other (make coffee, rub shoulders, do silly things to make each other laugh, etc).
I am sorry for the novel of a comment, but I hope you’re feeling more satisfied with life soon!
