My Changes

Last night, I wrote out a list of the things I felt I needed to start working on or continue working on. Well, it turned into more of a list of how I feel I should live my life (of sorts) and I really like how it came out. This is my list:

• Take better care of myself
• Take the time to take care of myself
• Try to feel presentable rather than over think judgement
• Keep my nails trimmed, cleaned and polished (even with clear, just to protect them)
• Invest in properly fitted bras
• Take myself more seriously
• Work out all of my priorities
• Save money
• Wear what makes me feel comfortable and pretty
• Keep my wallet and purse organized
• Try to keep to a better sleep schedule 
• Work on my penmanship
• Keep clothes organized and put away
• Stay on top of laundry
• Eat better
• Make healthier choices
• Take a few minutes a day to meditate
• Recognize my mistakes and apologize in the moment
• Recognize injustice and confront it in the moment
• Stand up for myself and my beliefs
• Stay away from the blade
• Write more letters, keep in touch with out of town and out of state friends and relatives
• Take note and learn about my car
• Learn to cook more
• Bake more cookies (why not?)
• Take pride in myself and my belongings
• Take care of my friendships and relationships
• Stay grounded
• Don't let anxiety control the situation
• Leave the past in the past

List of Things to do Before the Zombie Apocalpyse

So I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I hate the term "Bucket List" and I couldn't tell you why. It just really bugs me for some reason, so every time I think about what to add to my life of things to do before I die, I usually just say, "This is my list of things to do before I die." I could never think of an awesome name. Until today. I present to you: My list of things to do before the Zombie Apocalypse! Most of these things I came up with when I was 15, seeing as this list started as a Myspace blog. I added quite a few new things today.
