Intro to The Upgrading My Life Diaries

Time for a Change

I don’t know what it is, but I just feel like my life is in a rut right now. I can’t seem to stay focused on what goals I want to accomplish. I can’t get into a routine that works for me at my job. I can’t find my motivation to get back on my wellness and fitness journey. My life is a mess!

It’s time for me to get real and stop letting my excuses keep me from being a success. I am planning to get my life back in order and not let procrastination get in my way again. Even though I am in my 40s, I am ready to enter my It Girl era.

The Plan

I am in my 40s, so I feel a little silly saying that I am doing an It Girl or Glow Up challenge. Instead, I am in an era of upgrading my current status in my life. It’s not just the physical parts, but everything from my spiritual, career and even my current financial status. I am ready to get out of this rut and so whatever is necessary to do so.

I love a great planner and I came across a youtuber who had a planner that I am going to try out for my journey. Not every page works for me, but I am getting an idea of what I need and what I am going to use in my own journey. I like making plans, as they keep my mind focused. I can get off a task real quick if I don’t otherwise. I will share my final planner layout once I figure it out soon, so stay tune for that.

12 Month Challenge

I am giving myself a year to accomplish the goals that I will be setting up for myself. It’s going to be a big undertaking of what I want to change about my life, that saying I will do it in 30 days or even 6 months is not that realistic to me. I am making changes that I plan on keeping up for the rest of my life. No real timeframes to reach, but I am going to check in on them.

I want to document my journey here and on my social media accounts like YouTube and Instagram, so I can use these as a way of checking in on my progress. They are my preferred social media platforms to post on, so it will make it easy for me to stay accountable as I am comfortable with sharing about what is going on in my life. I will probably share a link to my blog posts on my Facebook page, but I may change my mind on that.

The Beginning

I am excited and ready to get started on my journey. No waiting for the first of the month or new for me. I need to stop using that as an excuse as excuses have been hindering me from being a success. I am ready to change my life, no I ready for upgrading my life!
