MY 2020 GOAL IS TO TAKE
LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Every day is a struggle. In fact, it is more of an
emotional struggle than a physical struggle because
everything in life affects my sugar. Food consumption,
exercise, stress, sleep or lack thereof all affect my daily
routine. Some days I’m sad and worried, and my
attitude and overall outlook on life suffer. What I have
come to realize is that life gets better when you decide
to make it better.
In June of 2019, my husband and I decided to put
our house on the market and purchase a new one. We
had been contemplating for over a year whether to
add on to our current house or purchase another. By
accident, we found a new home and before I knew it,
we were in full swing making repairs, decluttering and
staging our existing home to be put on the market and
simultaneously writing up the contract and making
renovation / upgrade plans at our new home.
As I began to pack, I
recall thinking: I am
not going to bring all
this stuff into my new
home even though it is
a larger house. Things
began to feel heavy
and unnecessary. I held
each object and asked
myself: where will this
go, do I even need it,
is it something one of
my kids or grandkids
would want one or
should it go into the
donate pile? I made
several trips to the
thrift store.
Now seven months later, we are somewhat unpacked. I
still have a full storage unit to go. I am taking my time
and again asking myself if each item I unpack should
be donated. It is hard to part with our belongs. One
thing that has made it easier for me to let go of stuff is
to recall the experience of when and where I acquired
the item or how I used it in my life, then I reflect on
the joy of that memory.
Throughout the selling, buying and renovating
process, it was hard to keep my sugar in check. Today
as I stand in my new kitchen and begin to organize
and plan my daily activities and meals, everything is
falling into place.
My kitchen was intentionally designed to support
my organizational needs. Simplicity was key. I have
a specific place for easy access to items I kept and left
room for new things. But I didn’t clutter the pantry or
cabinets with items I knew I was never going to use.
My 2020 goal is to take life one day at a time. Be
mindful of self-care. Prioritize my health over
business and trust the process and continue to find
joy in this journey.
