So I Thought, Now I Am

I thought I was giving so much of myself to everybody and that is why I have been so sick and depressed and tired.  What I now realize is that I have only been trying so hard that all I have accomplished is sharing the worst parts of myself and slowing killing the best parts by neglecting them.  THAT CHANGES NOW!  This will not happen overnight but it will happen.  I will take small steps every day to better myself so that what I share of myself will be good, positive, loving, motivating.  I wil not be perfect, I will trip but I will not fall.  Nor will I beat myself up when I stumble.  Instead I will pick myself up and continue on my journey to a happy and healthy me.

and the reason...

So I show my goals for 2011 to my husband and he says "what about me?".  That is MY point!  I am stretched so thin and getting so stressed out by trying to take care of everybody else that I have no time to take care of me.  When I do, I just veg in front of the TV or play stupid games on facebook and get nothing accomplished other than tuning out reality for a few hours.

By putting myself first I will be better able to care for others when they NEED it.  I am NOT sacrificing myself, my sanity and my health for anybody anymore.  I am no good to others if I cant even take care of myself.

Bless his heart, he actually understood and is thinking about doing the same thing.  Whether he does or not, I am sticking to my plan.
