RedStone Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 So, things are changing in my world. I'm trying to keep everything simple for the sake of productivity and my own sanity. I got a pre printed bujo as my day planner (and more of course) and I'm loving it, despite my DIY nature. It's the busiest time of the year at work... but I have a foot out the door. I'm trying to stay busy without A: getting overwhelmed or sucked into an unmanageable schedule and B: not totally zone out on my clients because I know I'm leaving. A few things need to happen right now, namely I have a test to pass, and a business to plan. I've reached out to the business coach I chose last summer when I wasn't quite ready, and hopefully will start working with her soon. I'm excited-ish, and nervous-ish, but mostly just set that this is what is going to happen. In a way I'm positively resigned, if that makes sense? So. On to the challenge! Five Fun facts about RedStone 1: Is very short! 4'10" 2: Has a beloved beanie baby rhino named Spike. 3: Favorite book is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 4: Is into redheads (like Mr Red! Weet woo) 5: Loves the number 5! RedStone's Five Challenge goals 1: Journal everyday. EVERY day. For the whole year. 2: Study. Once this week, 10 minutes everyday starting Monday. Ace the test. Take it on or before February 15. 3: Get back to bicep tendonitis rehab AKA all the curls. 3X a week. 4: Be firm about schedule. Don't agree to outrageous split shifts. Finalize with clients this week, don't take new clients that don't fit the plan. Pass them off to appropriate coworkers, say adieu. (No clients Thursday nights, no one new on Monday nights. No weekends.) 5: Walk outside. Once per week. 30 minute minimum. Spoiler Five fun bonus facts about Spike! 1: Loves cannoli! 2: Miiiiight be a secret identity for a super hero. Maybe. He won't tell us. 3: Has his own house and lots of friends 4: Enjoys bonking and booping 5: Has his own jigsaw puzzle! 8 Quote ~Peace Be The Journey~ one - two - three - four - five - six - seven- eight - nine - ten - eleven - twelve - thirteen - fourteen - fifteen - sixteen - seventeen - eighteen - nineteen - twenty - twenty one - twenty two - twenty three - twenty four - twenty five - twenty six - twenty seven - twenty eight - twenty nine - thirty - thirty one - thirty two - thirty three - thirty four - thirty five - thirty six Link to comment

I think you are a little further down the path away from nervousness than I am in response to my upcoming changes. Thank you for the inspiration Yesss I was just catching up on your thread earlier! (I'm a bit of a lurker these days, alas) and I'm very excited for you!!! Especially for those of us in and abouts middle age, making big changes, going back to school etc seem SO beneficial and yet so counterintuitive. I know it's good for my brain and soul and yet logic tells me I shouldn't be making waves. (Watch me defy you brain! Weeeee!) But yeah, I think you're right about the timing. Last spring was when I started to get the itch and I think last summer was when I was in full blown nervousness. Then weird stuff hapenned at work that put all my plans into limbo-ish, and also, September babies! Heyo! - I seem to have had big pockets of anxiety surrounding my birthdays lately. (Not about my birthday per say, but I dunno. I journaled about this earlier today so it's kinda on my mind, about getting older and feeling stress on the mile markers. Tangent. Anyhoo ) That was when I was in damn near crisis mode. Everything was falling apart, but good things came out of that in the long run, I feel like I can stand behind my decisions much better, finally, thank glob LOL I guess what ended up hapenning, TLDR, is that the nerves and curveball at work made me question a fair few things, and I had to answer some questions about what's really important to me. I am nervous... but not the way I was. Now I know that my mind is made up and I know what I have to do-ish to make it happen. The rest is just putting my nose to the grindstone and getting it done! (Is that actually the phrase? that's weird ) 3 Quote ~Peace Be The Journey~ one - two - three - four - five - six - seven- eight - nine - ten - eleven - twelve - thirteen - fourteen - fifteen - sixteen - seventeen - eighteen - nineteen - twenty - twenty one - twenty two - twenty three - twenty four - twenty five - twenty six - twenty seven - twenty eight - twenty nine - thirty - thirty one - thirty two - thirty three - thirty four - thirty five - thirty six Link to comment

Like you, things came together in that department with a little help from a physical therapist (effing uncooperative arm at the moment notwithstanding), so my insane bout of self-imposed misery ended.

Like you, things came together in that department with a little help from a physical therapist (effing uncooperative arm at the moment notwithstanding), so my insane bout of self-imposed misery ended. Ooooh yes, I get you. I'm pretty prone to injury and when I think back, probably always was. There are moments when i'm convinced life as I know it is over. But I've seen so many people... some go one way, some go the other. The ones that just say, ok, this is over... it seems over. The other ones say, ok, what can I do, and do it well. I hope I'm the later when the need comes... Quote I don't know why I ever worry about external circumstances: I am far better at making myself crazy than anyone else ever could--lol. HA! I know those feels!!! Quote If you don't mind my asking, what did you go back to school for? (Just curious.) I studied fine art originally! Painting, printmaking and art history, and then worked as a designer, photographer, retoucher etc through my twenties and a bigger part of my thirties. All the while I was also moonlighting as a martial arts teacher, and a few years after starting to lift and get involved here, I decided to go full time with fitness! (The whole process was pretty public, here specifically lol) and, unfortunately, coincided with a larger eating disorder relapse. I've since rearranged my What and Why and swapped my verbiage to health and wellness (rather than fitness, which as an industry leaves a bad taste in my mouth.) I've been a personal trainer with a focus on orthopedic exercise and post rehab (surprise! lol) and nearly done with a health coaching certification. Working in a public club has given me a ton of experience and much needed confidence... but it's just not the environment for me. Time to evolve and see about the next chapter! (I'm also a super open book, so please don't feel obliged to divulge all of your details, but if you feel comfortable, I would LOVE to hear about your journey as well!!!) 6 minutes ago, scalyfreak said: "Us."

RedStone Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Massive win this morning. I'm trying to rearrange my schedule to be more manageable and switched some days in a way that is going to make my life so much easier in terms of accommodating the double life - AKA - my Kung Fu classes in-between split shifts, as well as accommodating my women in business monthly Monday night meetings. It feels good to prioritize the other side of things! And the clients were all good happy no problem I also just heard back from the business coach and got the calendar for our first (well, second since the Summer) conversation. Normally, I would jump on the very first appointment I could get, but that's when shark week starts... so I'm going to do the week after so I'm not coming into a conversation with the emotional head spin I ALWAYS have right before. I feel good about this... usually I want to hit the ground running, go go go, prove to the world (well... myself, and probably the coach) that I'm serious... but this seems like a more sensible and strategic use of my time with her and I'd rather do it right. This is the long haul, no need to rush. By the by, I impulse ordered a pre printed bujo to use as a day planner and I can't tell you all how flippin excited I am! I'm such a damn purist about DIY but the truth is that it really stressed me out to have to set it all up (I now understand why people set up an entire year book a head of time!) I may do this going forward, but for now I'm thrilled to have it all ready to go, nothing to worry about, if I feel like doodling, cool, but right now it's just a day planner, it has monthly habit trackers, and I added one tracker for completed books based on this kind of page. There are a bunch of blank pages I can use for whatever, but honestly I don't even know what else I would want to track right now, so I'm thrilled!! 6 Quote ~Peace Be The Journey~ one - two - three - four - five - six - seven- eight - nine - ten - eleven - twelve - thirteen - fourteen - fifteen - sixteen - seventeen - eighteen - nineteen - twenty - twenty one - twenty two - twenty three - twenty four - twenty five - twenty six - twenty seven - twenty eight - twenty nine - thirty - thirty one - thirty two - thirty three - thirty four - thirty five - thirty six Link to comment

Harriet Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yay for scary but positive changes! I also journal but with no special structure. I just write down my thoughts and if they're negative, writing down makes them a bit less powerful, while writing down positive thoughts amplifies them. Magic? The fine arts degree sounds like it must have been fun!

How long have you been doing Kung Fu? Are you super mighty and dangerous? Also, I'd be interested to hear how the bullet journaling goes. I've read about it and was intrigued but it seemed quite rigid. Often I just do emotional rambles in my journal that make me feel better. 2 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Katerina Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 You know, I think your word has presented itself, @RedStone: FORMIDABLE.
