It's not easy to drop an old habit and just pick a new one just because people say you need to change. Sometimes I'm conscious of these habits, and I know within me that I need to change, but it's just so hard to do that. There's a saying that if more than three people complain about the same thing over and over again, then honey you need to change. I know we're all flawed and nobody is perfect..
I think it's a blessing to have friends who call you out in areas of your life that you're not doing well and also habits they think aren't healthy. I've had a particular set of friend groups since years ago, and I always take their words seriously. As long as it's coming from them, then I need to step up.
My Social life
I made a New Year's resolution about this, and guess what? It's November already and I'm still the same old me who stays indoors for days without going out. Before now, the only things that took me out of the house were work and the gym. But ever since I stopped working, I would go to the gym in the morning and once I go inside my house, that's it for the day. This is one aspect of my life that needs change because no man is an island and sometimes we need people to add a little fun in our lives. I don't want to grow old and not have people around me so yh, right now I'm making conscious efforts to leave the house even tho it's just for a nice evening stroll with my brothers and their friends.
My attitude towards relationship/dating
I know this sounds weird but yh, I've gotten a lot of advice to at least consider dating and just have someone who's there for me. I'm just so tired and not ready to share my space with anyone. Being in a relationship is stressful and having to share everything with someone new is something I'm not just ready for. All of my friends have advised me to go into a relationship but I keep on declining. The worst part is that I meet a nice person, and then I start to ghost them, and that's it. Everybody wants to love and feel loved it's just how we're wired.
I honestly wish I cared more about dating and my attitude towards guys would change. Immediately, I meet a guy, I friend-zone him.
This is one aspect of my life I really want to change and I know it won't be an easy task to do.
My picky Nature
I'm so picky that sometimes I'm conscious of it and then I try to hide it so as not to make the other person feel bad. I don't take things I don't like and even if I'm forced to, it would end up becoming useless. I've had a lot of comments from people about how picky I am and how particular I am with my food and materials things. Whenever I go to the store to get Dettol and there's no Dettol, or maybe the price went up, I'd rather add extra money than go for another brand. I'm that particular with my things.
I think this is one aspect of my life I've had the most complaints and I think I need to change. Complaining and being picky isn't really a good thing.
I'm making conscious efforts to change and just relax sometimes. I'm glad I have friends who care about me and want to see the best version of me. Honestly, I'm willing to change and be the best version of myself for me. Thanks for stopping by, and do have a splendid week ahead✨❤️
