Short Term Goals- Peace out Facebook

After an afternoon of netflix and arts and crafts, I realized something. Just like in the movie Julie&Julia, I need short term goals. Goals that are attainable and have a clear end date- so I have to force myself to follow through. Unfortunately, I have the horrible tendency to start huge projects, take on too much at once and then never finish. There are multiple scrap books, picture frames and articles left incomplete.

So this is a little game we are going to play. This game is called, "Get Brandi back to life." Every week, I want to set self improvement goals. Now, we're not talking like weight loss or cosmetic self improvements- more like mental health self-improvements. I am going to actively think about creating a new life in this so called 'real life.'

Living in this technology world, filled with bbm, texting, facebook, g-chat and every other source of direct communication- getting away and creating some sort of mystery is thrown out the door. Maybe this is one of the reasons that getting over college has been so hard, because with a click of a mouse or scroll of my phone, I am right back in college world and wishing I was somewhere else. So, that is the first thing I need to actively stop. I need to stop wishing I was somewhere else, put my phone down, close facebook and look at where I am.

This week's goal. For 7 days, I am going to limit my facebook stalking. For one week, I will only get onto facebook once a day (yes this might seem stupid, but let's just say, I spend a lot of time on facebook- seeing as living out in Queens, I spend a lot of time alone, in my room with only my computer.). This challenge starts now.

Peace, love and short term,

B
