June 1 will be day 180/180. On December 1, 2024, I challenged myself to take steps to improve my life. I have not been impressed by my outputs up until then so I decided to make some changes.
With 37 days left, do I have any chance at showing up for myself on June 1? I am hopeful. I would like to give my all. I will try my very best.
I used to be an extremely positive person. I always look at the brighter side of things. I think I am still more postive than most people I encounter but I’d like to be closer to my previous cheery & vibrant personality.
But lately, I have not been my better self. A lot of simple things irritate me easily nowadays. I think a huge part of this shift in behavior is my frustration of not getting things done as I hoped them to be. I have goals that I want to have reached by now but I have no motivation to act on them.
They said counting your blessings is really important in order not to loose sight of what I have accomplished so far. So here are the things that I have achieved or set in place:
- I have a good-paying job
- I have a house
- I have a car
- My family is healthy
- I have life insurance with some investment option for retirement
- I have pension from work
These are the things I want to set up or goals I want to work on:
- Maximize my RRSP &TFSA – these are savings account for my retirement
- I would like to bring my parents & siblings for trips around the world
- I would like to be more efficient at work. And eventually find a job that is towards disease prevention through diet and nutrition as opposed to medication-focused healthcare.
- I would like to work 3 months then off 1 month and so on
- I would like to get my house organized the Mari Kondo way. (I have already started this in January 2025)
How am I going to do this, financially? This is how I plan to breakdown my expenses monthly:
10%- Tithe
10%- life insurance with investment option
10%- RRSP/TFSA
40%- constant expenses (cut down if possible)
20%- money set aside for trips with family
10%- money set aside for atleast once a year trip for myself (with friends lor family)
So help me God. This is my plan, but your will be done. Thank you.
