366 days of discovering

So... I have this idea!

Whaaaat?!- I will not watch television for the next 366 days!! 

Cray. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think about going an entire year without television! I know... I know... It seems a bit drastic... it is drastic!! For those who don't know me, I am a cold turkey kind of chick! I believe in diving right in and dealing with the hard crap along the way... This challenge is about self-discovery too... I’m curious to see how I handle the “crap!” You can count on me to be up front and honest too. If I slip, you'll be the first to know! 

Who does that?! Smh... Only Stix! 

When?!- My first day without television will start on January 1, 2016 12:00am CST and will end on January 1, 2017 12:00am CST. Of course the year I decide to do this is a leap year?! My freakin luck! 

Why?!- Well… about a week ago *schmoney dances*, I was lying in bed thinking about 2015. I couldn't recall much of anything worth talking about. I mean… Lots happened in 2015, good and bad, but I can't say that I lived life to the fullest in 2015. There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life and it pains me to say that I don't remember much of it. I didn't live life with the intention of growing or learning. I just WAS this year. I also can't remember how I spent New Year's EVE/Day in 2015. For some reason that freakin bothers me... What the heck did I do?! So yeah... This challenge is simply to encourage me to live... To be... to discover me and hopefully have a little fun in the process.

I chose to document this journey to hold me accountable. I am the type of person that needs accountability to succeed in certain areas where discipline is involved. This is one of those things. Pretty sure that’s not a good thing… *shrugs*

How?!- It's as simple as it sounds... No Once Upon a Time, No Real Housewives, No TGIT, No Black Ink Crew, No Rev Run shows (all of them... plus the new show with Tyrese) No Growing up Hip Hop... Ok... This list has to stop. I'm depressing myself... 

I still haven't figured out the logistics of it…Maybe that's what will make the blog interesting... I'll find cool things to read, cool things to do in the city, learn how to sew, blah, blah, blah! 

 I WILL see an occasional movie with friends though! Movies are my life... All of it will be done outside of my home!! The goal is not so much to be strict or withhold myself from doing... The plan is to be more intentional with the hours in my day and live a more fulfilling life!! 

Where?!- Nashville, TN/Wherever I am! Lol No exceptions.

Will you cheer me on along the way? *sigh* Weeeeelllllll here goes nothing… *holds up champagne glass* Here’s to the last day of the year and my last chance to drown myself in television! Wish me luck. 

XO, Stix
