My First Steps

I have made the solid decision to stop being stuck. I think I am finally ready to start a journey of re-finding myself. I have been shut away and out of touch with me for so long that I am not sure who I am, what I believe in, or where I want my life to go. This first week I have been working taking those first few baby steps forward.

The first thing I started with was getting my house back in order, so each day I picked a room and I cleaned it from top to bottom. I dusted the walls, used my vacuum to get dust off of the ceiling and out of the corners. I even found myself mopping the cabinets under my kitchen sink. I have reached the point in cleaning that the only room I have left is my bedroom, and I have to wait for my husband to finish it because the rest is his stuff.


One of the things I did to help me along the way, was to sit down and write out what I did as I did it and check it off, just as if I had pre planned a to do list and was checking it off as I went. Next week I am going to sit and pre plan my whole week and what I want to clean when and follow a to do list the right way, but for this week I wanted to put together something to let myself see what I was doing and how well it went.


My new to do list for next week does not just include stuff around my house. I have also included things like get dressed, take a shower, fix my hair, wear makeup, exercise, and eating each day. These things are to help me better feel like a person. I have went for so long feeling like a blob of nothing, I need to take time to reconnect with myself as well as the world.


I have started week two at this point, and so far things are going very well. Every day I find a new struggle to work though, but I am still taking those small baby steps to get me where I need to be. For once I find myself hopeful. I wake up looking forward to the day and seeing what I can work though and accomplish.
