Without even trying, I decided to try something new on August 1st. I’ve thought and talked about it before, but this time I put it in action.
About 8 months ago I lost my special person. I’ve experienced, and still am experiencing, a range of emotions, figuring out who I am, and what my new life will be. I have trouble with consistency and want to hold myself accountable. This is how I figured I would be able to.
I’ve been struggling to understand what everyone who has/is going through grief means by ‘loving their new me and new life’ or are ‘rebuilding’. At first, I didn’t have much idea what that meant (I’ll get more into that later), but I think as the dust settles I’m beginning to get an idea or at least learning how to explore it.
This is different from my usual day to day. I’m going to be putting myself and my thoughts out there. I think it’ll be fun, different, and interesting. Lowkey, I’m hoping this all gets some traction, but we’ll see. This is more about me and documenting my journey, while also being a nice way to get me to journal. I really want to try new things and have loads of new experiences to help me figure out who this new me is. See what works and doesn’t work.
I don’t know if I’ll keep up with this, but I’m going to definitely try, along with my other goals below:
- Write 1 post every 2 weeks
- Bake once a month
- Run once a week
- Finish a book every 3 months
- Try 1 new thing every 2 months
- Meditate once a week
I’m sure I’ll be adjusting this list over time with adding, editing, or removing goals and that’s okay. This is a process and even though I struggle remembering that sometimes, I need to be gentler and more forgiving to myself. I don’t know who this new me is, but I’m excited to find out.
