And Hello to the New (Year)!!!
Dahlings
How are you?
I'm fine thanks.
Happy new year! I think I will wish you a happy new year every time I post until I'm over it.
I hope it's good so far...
Mine was OK until I literally nearly died from food poisoning yesterday. See what had happen was that I consumed yoghurt night before last. I had only eaten once during the day and found myself famished before I fell asleep and I knew that I would not be able to fall asleep and stay asleep if I was that hungry. In an effort to not eat anything heavy (because when I'm full I get sleep paralysis) I had yoghurt. I started bloating immediately and I thought this is my body saying I'm intolerant so I kept on eating knowing full well that I will not hear any pleasant sounds of farting during the night. Eventually when I stopped I realised that something was not right with this scene. I was far too bloated & was feeling nauseas. I thought 'eh I'll be fine tomorrow morning'. Fun surpise, I was not fine the following morning. I was weak, shaking, nauseas, even more bloated and dizzy. So I spent the whole day trying to get better by using natural remedies (because I don't have meds for food poisoning in the house and also, I have hippie tendencies) and they didn't help. Long story short, I am fine-ish today and have been famished all day. I also threw out all the food in the fridge and have now come to a conclusion that I need a new fridge. I don't just want one. I need one. Ugh.
(Fun fact: I generally don't consume dairy but when I'm craving cake or cheesecake or chocolate or milktart, I'll have double cream yoghurt. I'm also lactose intolerant. Not deathly, except for yesterday, but I have a healthy dose of intolerance)
This post is actually about my goals for 2019 & what I ticked off in 2018 - why do I keep digressing?
So I segmented my goals into three sections:
a) Work & Studies:
Last year I crushed all my goals. I got my promotion, I went back to varsity and I worked tirelessly to improve my quality of work. This year I intend to still do the same. I intend to push myself harder to produce quality work and at varsity I will aim for distinctions. Something that surprised the hell out of me is that I have fallen in love with the digital world and as a result, I intend to teach myself to code and also graphic designing. This is not a drill it's real life.
b) Blogging and Vlogging:
As you can see I only killed 2 goals last year. So this year I decided to only make it four. Are these goals measurable? I think so. To me at least. For example, Casey Neistat is my goal at editing videos. I will get to that level even if I only load one video a month. I will make the story line interesting and the editing world class. I have a spirit of excellence. Don't mess with me.
c) Mind, Body and Spirit:
In 2018 I achieved most of the goals on that list and even more. This year the main thing I want to do is to take risks in work, business, body, life, love, everything. You see I was thinking about it a lot over the last week. The biggest risk that I took in my life was moving to Johannesburg and it paid off immensely. I'm glad I didn't listen to they nay sayers. I listened to my heart and have never regretted it. It has been hella hard at times but like the Luther Vandross song goes "I'd rather have bad times in Joburg than good times in East London". I'm not going to be stupid and run off with a hippie man to live in a forest but I have dipped my toe for long enough in the waters of life. It's time to jump all in. There's a prayer that Darlene Zcech (not sure of spelling) says in a song "God, I don't want my life to look good. I want it to be good". She nailed it! I don't want a perfect looking life but I want it to be awesome and hopefully inspirational to someone else.
Let's make the pots to happen.
