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.
Giving My All for June 1 (ChatGPT version)
June 1 will be day 180 out of 180.
On December 1, 2024, I challenged myself to start improving my life because I wasn’t proud of my progress up until then. I felt stuck, unmotivated, and disappointed with myself. So I decided something had to change.
Now, with 37 days left, I keep asking myself:
Do I still have a chance to show up for myself on June 1?
I believe I do. I’m hopeful. And I want to give my all. I will try my very best.
I used to be an extremely positive person—cheery, vibrant, always looking at the bright side. I still think I’m more positive than most people I meet, but I’m not as lighthearted as I used to be. Lately, even simple things irritate me. A big part of this shift is frustration: frustration from not getting things done, not meeting my own expectations, and not moving toward my goals the way I imagined.
They say counting your blessings helps you stay grounded and recognize how far you’ve already come. So here’s what I have accomplished:
- I have a good-paying job
- I have a house
- I have a car
- My family is healthy
- I have life insurance with an investment option
- I have a pension through work
These are huge blessings. And they remind me that I’m not starting from zero.
Here are the goals I want to work toward next:
- Maximize my RRSP and TFSA for retirement
- Bring my parents and siblings on trips around the world
- Become more efficient at work—and eventually shift into a career focused on disease prevention, nutrition, and lifestyle, rather than medication
- Work a schedule that looks like: 3 months on, 1 month off
- Fully organize my home the Marie Kondo way (I actually started this in January 2025)
And here’s how I plan to break down my finances each month:
- 10% – Tithes
- 10% – Life insurance with investment
- 10% – RRSP/TFSA
- 40% – Regular monthly expenses (cut down where possible)
- 20% – Savings for family trips
- 10% – Savings for one personal trip each year (with friends or family)
This is my plan. My best effort. My attempt to show up for myself before June 1.
So help me God. This is my plan, but Your will be done. Thank You.
