Prepping

There are just a handful of days for 2024. After this year, I know some thing that I do NOT want for 2025. Sometimes that helps build backwards to the things that I do want.

I’m gearing up. Getting a mental running start, as it seems. Goals that I had to move to the back burner for 2024 are getting revamped and put to the front of 2025. I’m tired. 2024 took a lot. The strength I have is from God.

At night, when I’m lying in bed, I hope to be exhausted enough to fall asleep. When I’m not, I’m missing a degree of peace. A grieving process, maybe the overall discomfort that comes with not being able to fix a situation, just emotions and feelings that I won’t be going away just yet. So, step one is to change up my bedtime routine. Because the nights that I’m not exhausted enough to fall right asleep, I don’t sleep for hours. And I’m pretty sick and tired of that!

So, step one, get better at sleeping. Step two, wake up better. I’m losing time waking up like I have been, after a crappy night’s sleep. Ugh. Frustrating! For things to change, I need a little more energy, and a lot more discipline and concentration. I can get there! It’s just a little more work that I need pre-work to get to a place to start going after goals for 2025. But, this is where I am. This is where I need to start from. So, this is what I’m starting with.

Tonight I am thankful for some time to do some prep work to be ready to chase new goals. I’ll take some rest still in here. And I’ll allow time for myself to be human and have stupid, tornado-ing feelings that stop me for no reason and grip my heart. But, with that, I’m also ensuring that I won’t stay stuck in this place that I’ve been, and that I go after things that will make 2025 better for me and countless others.
