Why I Need To Change My Life

Lately, I've felt stuck, existing instead of living. I wake up tired, move through the day on autopilot and end most evenings wondering where the time went. My energy's been low, any good habits have slipped, and I have no idea what happened to my motivation.
I was becoming an expert in procrastination, avoidance and computer games where every day started to feel the same. I realised I was waiting for something outside myself to change things.
But nothing was going to change until I changed.
My Decision
So, this is my decision. It’s time to take back control of my life and I'm giving myself six months
to do it. But not through unrealistic promises or the “new year new me” sort of hype, but through
small, real actions that I can sustain. It’s about rebuilding balance – one week, one step and one
habit at a time.
I’m calling it my Balanced Life Reset.
My Plan
I want to rebuild my health, find more social connection and finally start making progress on a
business idea that's been sitting in the back of my mind for too long.
I don't have everything figured out (honestly, that's the point). This blog will be my way of
tracking the process – the messy, honest, imperfect journey of trying to grow.
My Hopes
Here's what I'm hoping for in the next six months
· to feel stronger both physically and mentally
· to build a social life that feels genuine and energising
· to stop procrastinating and take real steps towards launching my business idea
· to wake up feeling proud of myself, not overwhelmed by what I haven't done yet.
My Journey
But change isn’t going to happen by wishing and hoping.
It happens by starting.
Each week I’ll post updates here on my blog about
· the habits I’m building
· what I’m learning about myself
· the struggles I face and how I handle them, and
· the small wins that will hopefully remind me that I am moving forward.
A Message To Anyone Else Feeling Lost
If you've ever felt lost, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself, maybe my journey will
speak to you too. You’re not alone. But changing a situation requires action. I’m not waiting for
new year or a big event to begin again.
I’m choosing now and I’m choosing me.
This is my reset – my six month experiment in becoming a healthier, more connected, more
purposeful version of myself.
Here's to starting again.
