Get it together

Getting it together....

Organizing
It's all about organizing today. Getting all of this "stuff" ready to go. So far, my dining room is actually going to become a dining room and my living room will be a living room not a closet. I've gained so much space by turning my "closets" into what they were meant to be. On the wall at the end of my bed there is a bulletin board that used to be full of necklaces. About 67 of them to be exact. I've donated almost all of them except 8. That bulletin board is now a vision board with three pieces of paper on it. The first piece is labled, "Actions". Things that I need to do within one months time. Be it organizing, calling to cancel my cable, finding a smaller apartment, working on my nutrition, and lowering my waste by recycling and reusing items so I'm not just throwing them away. The second piece of paper is for ideas/goals. When I think I have a good idea about my direction and the path I'm taking, I write it down. When I think of a goal to work towards, I write it down. I ultimately want to find inner peace and be sustainably happy in a career that I truly love, so things I can do to get there, I write them down. Eventually those items will slowly move to the "action" page.  The third page says "Work". This is a page of how-to's. Because my current career is not in the field I would like to be in and I do not have the time to go back to school, I have to think outside of the box as to how mu current skillset will translate into another industry. I've written down a few ideal positions I'd like to have and have begun lisitng how my current experinece can be related to fit into those positions. I've been researching some extended learning classes that will help me get into and be prepared for a new career in a new (to me) industry. Starting over almost entirely career-wise is scary and exciting and it couldn't come at a more perfect time. I know now what I want from my life and I am excited to be finally working toward this ultimate goal. It's about time I got things together! I've always been one of those people who learned things a second later, slower than everyone else. A late bloomer if you will, in terms of when I finally figure things out and weather that's true or not, at least I know now. That's good enough for me. This path I'm on is moving in the right direction. I've declared my new ways out loud and that's made them even more real. Telling others about it makes me accountable and there's no turning back. Keep it movin, people or watch out for me as I zoom past ya!
