January is always a write-off for me in terms of productivity. It's my birthday month and that typically means I have new games/toys/gadgets/books to play with, and I end up doing very little at all while I contemplating levelling up and telling myself all the things I should be doing, but I'm not.
So February...is another story.
I've spent this last week organising myself, choosing what habits and goals I will have for the year, and generally kicking myself back into gear. I plan to re-learn guitar (which I've not played in 12 years), get back into yoga, and walk more. Besides those things though, I've spent this weekend revisiting my writing and sorting out a new, neater plan for it. That means - hopefully - I'll be able to drag myself back on track with that, too.
I went from ending 2016 in a very dark, very horrible place to taking a few weeks out where I basically didn't give a damn about anything but myself (selfish, but ultimately exactly what I needed to do) and now I feel a lot better in myself for it. I'm at a point where there is still a lot of awful events in my life, and things I'd prefer to ignore, but I'm inspired to fight to tackle them, rather than avoid them and hide in a dark room on my own.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still a loner who prefers the company of her fluffball dog, and who plays too many video games. I'm just happier about it.
