Living Life Better - What are you going to do with the remaining six months?

Every single time I watch an inspiring tv show I blame myself a little for not living life fully, better, more. I tell myself that I'm spending too much time scrolling social media and too little being outside with people and at places I like. This even makes me angry at times.

Ever since I have had a glimpse of life fully lived, of not wasting a single minute, but constantly being outside of my apartment in a big city with big promises, I wasn't able rest peacefully in the small town mindset that I'm living in right now.

Past two weekends I have spent completely outside of the house, but Monday to Friday have been a repeating circle of waking up, getting ready, going to work, coming back home, scrolling and falling asleep. I hate the knowing that I've wasted so much time on nothing.

Yesterday I did a little check up on my goals and I cannot tell you that the wheel is not turning. I have done things you know:

• I have traveled to Suzhou for two weeks and had amazing time

• I have passed Courses that I wanted

• I am working more on my physical appearance and health

• I have had one outing weekly that makes me happy with friends

There are things I have done, but I want more.

I want more people, adventures and work on my passion projects. Therefore, I have decided to do something.

I am not a person who believes in balance. I am a direct introvert who knows what she wants. I do things bravely, I always have, ever since I was a little girl. If the situations or people were for me, this has served me well, if they weren't it wouldn't. It would always all be a lesson or a win - simply life.

I have come to think lately we are very soft. I think we pamper ourselves on each discomfort that comes to our life, go around challenges and opportunities to grow simple because it might be difficult.

If I want to have certain things in my life different, then I have to make big changes. There are six months left in this year, twenty-seven amazing weeks to turn it all upside down. And there is no better time than now.

In order to turn it all upside down we need two things:

1. Direction - We can set all the goals we want, but if they are not an obligatory part of our daily or weekly schedule (depending what you goal is), they're not going to work. We need to ask ourselves when exactly today or in this week we will be working on this? An example of this would be - "I am working out Monday to Friday at 8PM."

2. Systems - In order for our goals to work, we also need to have set systems that prevents us from giving up easily or making mistakes.

   Let's say you're trying to save money, but always end up spending it. The solution would be to open a separate bank account and automate the money - maybe 30% of your salary goes directly to that account and you never touch it. Since it's no longer on your spending account, you make yourself imagine not having it available. This works like a miracle.

I have six directions that I want to follow, planned into my weekly schedule. I plan to parent myself a bit stricter. I plan to achieve all of my goals.

Another very important thing that I am going to be practicing for the next six months is DETACHMENT. I want my head to be in this space - Give your best, follow the plan, do anything you can to achieve what you want, but if it doesn't happen know that it simply wasn't meant to be.

I think we don't set big goals for ourselves because we think that there's no way someone like us could do that, could have that, but we can have it all. I think the magic lays in knowing that even if you don't achieve it, you will be fine, you are living your life well right now.

Could it be better? Yes. That is why you're doing this.

If I could sum it all up in one sentence then I would say that for the next six months I will do my best to reach my desired destination, live life outside of my pretty apartment a lot, and detach myself from the outcome knowing that I have done everything I could to make it happen.

Cheers to the next six months!
