#day8- January 8, 2016- Vision Boards and Tinderonis

The first Friday of the year!! 

Looking back on the first 7 days, I'm proud that I made it. I hit the snooze button two days out of the week, I didn't make my bed once out of the 7 days, and I was on social media after 7 pm once out of the 7 days! 

How negative of me to point out the negative though?!!! I'm going to say that a different way moving forward. I'll start now shoot...

 I did not hit the snooze button 5 days out of the 7, I made up my bed 6 days out of the 7, and I wasn't on social media after 7 pm 6 days out of the 7! How dope is that?! That's only the first week. I see improvement for sure! Giving something up cold-turkey and adapting to a new way of living is hard and takes time to master! I'm only 7... technically 8 days in. It takes 21 days to form a habit! Just wait until I'm 3 weeks in... Y'all ain't gonna be able to tell me a thing!!

In other news...

I went to a vision board party and it was awesome! I've gone to quite a few, but this one absolutely takes the cake. My friend Ashley went all out! She bought white canvas boards instead of poster boards, had tons of magazines, a variety of paints colors to choose from, cool paintbrushes, lots of food and cocktails! It was quite a feast! We all had a great time chatting over our goals and realized that a lot of us are on the same page! It was quite encouraging to see that we all are on the same path of finding our true selves and being our best selves! I had an awesome time! It was just the thing to keep me motivated on this challenge. And you know what, there was no television?! We listened to Pandora and had girl talk! Good times! 

I can't believe I'm even sharing this with you guys... This tinder app has been quite overwhelming. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! While it's cool to see that some of the guys I like, also (swiped right) liked me too... It's a lot to keep up conversation with them all though! Geez! What have I gotten myself into?! There are two little Tinderonis that I'm feeling... Lol We'll see if a date comes out of it... Oh and guess what... One of them has a man bun! Lol 

I haven't quite figured out if I'm cheating on the social media challenge... Is this app considered social media?! I chat with the guys from that app. I am not trying to give the world my number... Hmmm... I gotta figure that out! 

Anyway, that's all I have today!! No Tv, ya'll!! I'm doing it! 

Until next time, Stix

#day7- January 7, 2016: What a day, what a day.

When I tell you it hit me hard tonight.... I wanted to watch Growing Up Hip Hop so bad!!! I needed something to do... I needed someone to call me and ask me to go out. A hookah bar... A drink and conversation... SOMETHING!! 

Instead my evening started with me laying on my stomach across my bed with Tucker on my back knocked out.. What a sight, right?! I was on social media waaayyyyy past 7pm. I'on EVEN CARE! I needed a filler. Lol

I wasn't up for reading a book or an article... Didn't feel like washing clothes... So... Know what I did instead?? 

I took a hot bath.... 
Lit candles...
played Sade Radio on Spotify 
and allowed myself to feel. 

It was soothing... 

Necessary. 

My mind is always going... At work I'm always resolving issues and answering every question known to man... I tell people all the time that it feels like people play volleyball with my brain. By the time I get it back, it's deflated.... Overused.... Useless. For once I was able to think about whatever came to mind. 

For a moment... There was nothing. I thought I was going to fall asleep. Then I prayed... I thought about past experiences... How I handled situations... How I could have handled others better. I thought about my dreams, my future, where I see myself in five years. I thought about my love life.... The qualities I l desire in a man... Which lead me back into prayer... Lol For the men of my generation... For my man. 

I thought about my deepest desires, my greatest fears, my relationship with God... 

What a feeling....  
Not one I experience often. 

And then I got out...



Got back on social media...
Downloaded a dating app.. 
Played on that until I caught a major cramp in my foot... 
This was all before 10pm. 

*sigh* Y'all ain't prayin.

Until tomorrow friends,
Stix
