Damn, I’ll be 50 in 30 days and I feel the pressure to achieve all the goals I wanted to reach by the time I turned 50.
Some of the long term goals I have that I know I won’t achieve by 50 are:
To retire early
To own property
To be married again (or at least in a healthy relationship)
To live somewhere warm ( like California)
I haven’t given up on these goals, I’ll just have to increase my timeline
My short term goals that I still have a small chance to achieve:
Loose 20lbs (5 is more realistic)
Get on a daily schedule
Finish my next book
Find more fun things to do
I’m not going to place any more pressure than I already have to try to achieve these goals. I believe that because I put so much pressure on myself is the reason I haven’t achieved my goals in the first place. Instead I’m going to focus on gratitude.
The last 30 days of my 40’s. I’m grateful that I can even say that
My name is Lisa M Evans MA, CDP. I am an author, blogger, introvert and vegan. I earned a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University and a certification in Diversity Management.
I created this blog to come out of my shell and share my perspective on a variety of topics. I want to use this blog as a sounding board, gathering place and learning opportunity.
I plan on sharing a little bit of everything that interests me, natural hair, being vegan, and anything else that moves me.
I have three titles that are available on Amazon, I Know How to Lose Weight, So Why Haven't I, a self-help book that was written as a way to work through my issues with weight and dig deeper than just diet and exercise, This is my brain on emotion, a collection of poems that I have written over the years to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, Rich Man's Song, a children's book that teaches a valuable lesson about love and money.
