Five things: a series of lists

Five things I used to care about but don’t so much now:

• Gardening
• Posting things on Facebook
• My cute office high heeled shoe collection
• Travel
• Blogging

Five things I would like to start doing :

• Learning a new instrument, like steel drums or the cello
• Trying more new recipes
• Learning to scuba dive
• Learning to paint with watercolours
• Regular Artist Dates or setting aside solo time just for me

Five things I am trying to make more important in my life:

• Swimming
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Cycling
• Writing

Five things I need to let go of:

• Thinking about work when I’m not at work (this includes while commuting)
• Clothes that don’t fit and that I don’t like and that I know don’t suit me (doesn’t matter how much it cost)
• Taking the easiest option be it in relation to food or exercise or what I’m doing on the weekend
• Accepting something without comment because I don’t have the energy for an argument
• Asking a question instead of saying what I want or what I believe

Five things I need to start believing:

• I work to live; I don’t live to work
• My life outside of work is more important
• My health is important and I am responsible for maintaining it
• I will finish all three of those work-in-progress novels eventually
• Time on my own is not a luxury but a necessity
