Good afternoon friends. It's raining heavily here and I was thinking about how my life has been this year. I decided to come and share how my halfway through the year has been.
Let me start by listing out the goals I set for the year 2026.
1.To save consistently.
To build a meaningful and healthy relationship.
To be committed to my family and make out time for my children.
To make exercise a regular part of my life.
To always enjoy myself and give myself a “baby girl treatment.
Which of these goals have I achieved so far?.
By God’s grace, because it's not by my power, three amongst the four goals are going well. I’ve been consistent with my savings. My relationship is growing and healthy. I’ve been intentional about my family and creating time for my children. Exercise has also become a regular part of my life, expecially during difficult moments of my life.
The unfinished and why.
The one area I have struggled with is enjoying myself. With everything happening in my life, the bills, the responsibilities, the unexpected problems, I allowed all of that to weigh me down and take over me. I stopped paying attention to me. I forgot to rest, even the little things that make me happy, I stopped paying attention to them.
Have my priorities changed?
No. My goals are still intact, they still remain thesame because they matter to me a whole lot. But after giving it a serious thought this morning, I think my perspective has changed. Though, the fact about taking care of others starts with taking care of oneself, that saying has been there and stirring at me 😀. But it just became obvious to me now that I can not keep neglecting myself, my mental health should be my paramount concern.
Lessons I have learnt is that life will always throw things at us. But then, I can’t pour from an empty cup. Worrying and allowing worries to take over my life, cannot solve anything instead it continues to drain me. Peace and joy are also goals, that needs serious attention.
My goals for the rest of the year still
remains the same nothing change, except one big adjustment, which is to make constant effort to pay more attention to myself. I will make time to rest, to give myself a baby girl treatment, of course to enjoy the life I’m working so hard to build.
