Just a Quick Check-In

Well, it's been two weeks since I left my job. What I have found is that I'm feeling a little bit lost. I have worked a 9-5 job in an office for my whole adult life. Now that I'm home with all this time on my hands, I just feel a little scattered. It feels like I should be somewhere, doing something, but I don't know what.

I keep trying to give myself some grace as I start this new journey. Huge life changes are supposed to take a while to get used to, right? Right?????

One of the things I disliked about my last job was how monotonous it had become. Doing the same damn thing all day long, every damn day, really wore me out. However, there is really something to be said for having a regular schedule. That's part of the problem I'm having right now. I'm not on a set schedule and that's giving me some anxiety. 

For years, I woke up at the same time, drank my coffee at the same time, ate lunch at the same time, worked out at the same time. Starting next week, I will be on a more set schedule. I will set my alarm to wake up at the same time every day, so I get back on track. I'm also going back to regularly scheduled workouts. I need to be in the gym at the same time every day to feel more in control. I'm a creature of habit, so I need that consistency in my life.

I'll also be dividing up my days into pockets of time to concentrate on certain tasks i.e. writing new articles or blog posts, creating content for Instagram, Threads and Facebook and posting said content. Having a set time to work on these tasks every day will help me to feel less aimless.

I'm always looking for suggestions on topics to write about, so be sure to comment on any that would interest you. No topic is off the table. We can talk about mental health, exercising, cooking, sex, careers, parenting. Please let me know what you'd like to see!

As always, thank you so much for being here with me. I'll never be able to fully articulate how much your support and enthusiasm means to me. It truly is everything. Thank you. xo
