Hola everyone!
After starting my new full-time job on Monday, I have quickly realised how very little time I will get to myself throughout the next year and a half. I struggle with my six o'clock start, wearily board the train each morning at about 7:30am, arrive an hour later, and then work until 5:30pm. By the time I wait for the train home and arrive back at my station, it's well and truly 6:30pm. I don't mean to complain, because I knew this was what I wanted, but I only find about 3 hours each night to do the things I want to.
To cope with this new lifestyle and find balance and happiness with so little time for myself, I have formed a plan. I don't think it'll be easy. But I'm willing to give it a go.
About 6 months ago, my beloved aunty gave me a pack of 'self-mastery cards'. There are 66 in all, and each features a word - a value or virtue, complete with a small sentence or two describing how exactly to incorporate this into one's daily life.
So, my plan is this: each week I will choose a card to focus on for the duration of those seven days. I will decide on a sort of 'task' to perform throughout the week, and rate the week on its level of success and enjoyment. I will then give an overall comment in my notebook of how the week went. Each day, I plan on summarizing my task on my blog, too.
So now that you now the ins and outs of the plan, I suppose it's time to put it into action.
From tomorrow, the 28th of February until Sunday, the 6th of March, I will focus on this week's card. The word? Creativity.
I have a feeling I'm going to have fun with this one. I'll be back tomorrow with results from my first day!
so what's the task?! :D
