Change of the Season

 

Today, I want to touch on the subject of changing during a season. I know in winter we change to be little bears trying to hibernate, but what do we do in spring?  I want to fill you all in on how I would like to change this season. 

I want to be more active in all ways. 

I want to be more active when it comes to working out and walking outside, but I also want to be more active when it comes to painting and family game nights. Somewhere along the way, we fell off the wagon with the game nights. I think work started to get busy for the Hubbster, and I was just exhausted, so we stopped game nights. But all this should change. 

I want to be more accountable when it comes to working out. I need to find the motivation to do it, somewhere deep within me, I know it is there. I really don’t know why I struggle with it so much. All I have to do is go to the garage, but sometimes even that feels so far away. 

I want to paint more and more and hone my skills. The recent paintings I did/started, I noticed how much my art has changed, and not only do I credit the classes I have been taking, but I also have to give myself a bit of credit here and say that my practice has definitely helped. I want to do more. 

I have spoken about this before, but I really need to make myself a schedule or just set time aside to do all the things that I am doing. I think that is my main downfall, that I don’t have it structured, but stuff always seems to come up. I know it sounds like a massive excuse but as I am writing this I am sitting next to my dog, who was just hospitalized and he is still not doing 100%( I bet when you are reading this he is all better *knock on wood* *crossing finger* *throwing salt over my shoulder* ) But there went everything that I had planned for this week. I am not blaming him because he and my family will always come first, but life lately has been throwing us a lot of curveballs. I want to get better at expecting the unexpected! I want to be able to deal better with these curveballs, and for that, I need to work on my anxiety and my depression to be completely transparent here. I think these two things are what are holding me back in a lot of things as well. 

There is a lot of change that I want to happen, but I also know it won’t happen overnight or by itself. It will take some work, some effort to get it all sorted. 

What about you? Is there something that you want to change this season? Within yourself, within your home, or just in general. Let me know in the comments :)
