"Filling Your Day..."

 By: Connie J..., August 11, 2025

As I sit here and drink my coffee, every morning, I contemplate my plans for the day. My planner is usually open, and iykyk, I have alarms set for EVERYTHING!!! lol


I delete alarms, as I accomplish my goals; and check off my planner, periodically.


This helps me keep my "structure", which as you may know, kind of exploded on me the end of April, and beyond. I FINALLY, after struggling to regain it, decided to just start over - though freeing; a bit of an uphill battle.



Things are moving forward, and am feeling less stressed. NOW, to get my BP to please my new Dr.

However, I don't just "fill my days" with things to do. While there are things that MUST be done - I make sure that "Me Time", even through my planning, takes place. Trust me - though I survived my "Running Like a Bunny" phase of my life. I am too old for that, now.


Each day I try to include connections with others; "me time/self-care" - whatever that looks like, that particular day; completing "have to's"; and hydrating/eating to the best of my ability.


How do you fill YOUR days?

It's hard, sometimes, to remember there are a MINIMUM of two sides to every story. When you factor in the truth, the incredibly creative fiction a mind can come up with, plus there is each individual's perspective - any situation can get blown out of proportion so fast, it's not even funny!!! Sometimes, the best thing a person can do is step back, close your mouth, and wait for the smoke to clear. It's hard to do - but if you don't, it can evolve to even bigger problems than were there, to begin with. What do YOU think??? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...so difficult??! I have mentioned that 2025, was a year of struggle; though I had one, of two of the BEST vacations, in my life. I spent over half the year trying to "start up", again; based on internal focus and structure that I had been building for roughly 10 years. FINALLY, after struggling for months - the words, "Start Over" appeared. The good news, is, that I wasn't starting over at ground zero. I was able to lay out a plan - it takes a minute (or seven), or at least 30 days of consistency, to build a good habit. I will let you know when I've arrived.

...your thought processes can give you a WHOLE NEW perspective on life. One example, "Why does everything bad happen to me??!"; maybe change to, "Is there some life-lesson I am supposed to be learning from all of these things that seem to keep happening to me?" Another reframe could be, "Are things happening to me because of choices I keep making, over and over?" Basically, reframing is asking yourself questions in a more productive way. It breaks that negative thought-loop, and makes a path to move forward out of that stuck feeling. The goal is NOT to ignore your feelings; or just wish they would go away. Your feelings are ALWAYS valid - but sometimes it's the shade of light in which you see them. Reframing can change that "tone/color pallet". What do YOU think? Can you see just one thought process in your life, that could use a little "reframing"? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

A few months ago, I began using "My Daily Life-goal..." on my Facebook page; for a reel or meme that represents my current focus. I've actually been doing it longer than that; but it's been more intentional, instead of just "doom-scrolling" my time away. Last week, I posted this to my page: "I'm NOT perfect. Some days, I'm a real mess!!! But...EVERY day, my goal is to be better than the day before. I'm learning new things every day. Growing. That is why I share my "Daily Life-goals". Not doing it for anyone else, but ME. But, if it inspires someone else, so be it. Share your wisdom... Thank you, for coming to my TED Talk... " 🥹 🥹 🥹 Though I didn't get major results with it - that's how I choose to use Social Media in a positive way; and do "likes" really matter? As I said, "so be it".  I truly believe, if we ALL could do that, every day - follow what we feel we're to do, EVERYTHING would be taken care of in the world!!!

...you least want to do, is often the best thing for you. I have developed quite the procrastination expertise, over the years. Example: n my tween and early teen years, it would, literally, take me hours to do the dishes. My imagination - with the counter becoming my "parallel bars" (I am the same age as Nadia Commaneci); or a spoon becoming my microphone (of course, the radio was on - 70s music ruled) - would take over. I had a good time; but STILL had no desire to just do the dishes. More often, than not - all the time you wasted attempting to avoid, seems silly, when you look back. Now, my daily life-goal, is to "Eat the Frog" - tackle the most difficult task, early in the day. Still not 100%; but over the last few years, I have discovered I am a morning person - so that is my most focused time, overall. Commitment to doing "The Thing" REALLY IS the best choice. Remember, it can be a catalyst to getting even more done. What are some things you may be struggling with - your "frog"? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...for not knowing better, then. Move forward, with the understanding you have, NOW. I was stuck in this perpetual loop for DECADES; paralyzed, and unable to move forward with my healing, until one day this "clicked". I had already survived the abuse - and I kept re-abusing myself, with EVERY loop. It was like I couldn't get my "healing engine" to keep running. Then, as I said, something just clicked in me. I still had to travel the path - am actually not far from it, on any given day; but each time I need a "jumpstart", I am not back at the beginning. I can start from right where I am. I just have to remind myself, that I DO know better now - and the power it has over me dissipates, as I forgive myself, once again. We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
