Are you the type of person who starts something and never follows through? If so, then we have a lot in common.
I hate to admit this about myself, but it’s totally the truth.
Let me give you examples of the things I have started and never followed through with:
A fashion blog: It was actually a “Steal of the Week” blog where I found dupes for high-end products.
Various MLM Sales Companies: At this point, I identify as what they call a “Kit Napper.” Some people do sales well, and they jump to the top of sales companies and built themselves a little empire. Not me. I genuinely love and stand behind the products, but I don’t do well with sales, and so I jump all in and then get out just as fast.
Crafts, Home Improvement and DIY projects: Sometimes I get SUPER excited. I put the cart in front of the horse and I make things a lot too complicated. I tend to want to do things myself when it’s more practical for others to do it for me.
Friendships/Relationships: This one is a little different, but I believe still falls under the same umbrella. So here’s my issue. I am not intentional enough. I work full time, I’m a Wife, and a and both of my kids are involved with extracurricular activities. I am so guilty of not following up with friends, and family. I allow my immediate circumstances, and lifestyle encompass my routines. I am super guilty of allowing social media as a way to maintain my communication to an extend, and realistically that’s not acceptable.
Parenting: I have to myself, my husband, or my kids – We are going to work on [Fill in the blank]. I will list some examples of my Fill in the blank. A few weeks ago I purchased little planters from Target. They’re super cute and have an adorable little pot and seeds. We have yet to plant them. Like 6 months ago, I purchased a book from Amazon to help teach Alayna how to read. We did a few lessons, and it’s been sitting on our computer desk ever since.
There are so many things I let slide to wayside because life gets in the way.
Dieting/Exercise: This is one of the biggest areas in my life where this happens. I literally have had my work out clothes sitting on the storage bin in our bathroom for a week. I could give you at least 4 excuses on why I haven’t gone to the gym. I could give you double the excuses for why I haven’t been counting my calories. Really it’s because I have let the stress of work, trickle into my personal life, and that is the FIRST area that’s affected. I just don’t follow through and maintain consistency.
Is there a life coach that I can hire? Someone that can hold my hand through all areas of my life, and just tell me what to do?
Does anyone else feel this way? Do you struggle in one, or all of these areas too? Have you followed through with ending the vicious cycle of following through? I am curious to see what areas of your life you feel you don’t follow through with.
