Will 2009 be better than 2008?
Posted By SkyGirl on December 18, 2008
Are you like me, thinking about how you did with your dream in 2008? Are you letting your disappointments get you down or are you getting determined to set thing right in 2009? Don’t get me wrong, I had some cool things happen in 2008. I left my job not knowing what I was going to do next other than “work on my documentary”. That luckily turned into a Leave of Absence instead of a “quitting” and then thank god it did because then a really cool job opened up at the end of my 3-month Leave that I have now been at since the beginning of August. But now that I have the cool job, my day-to-day life has totally changed than where it was a year ago. I am much more busy now, and more stressed out. I need to make adjustments in my life. I NEED to workout for one. What the hell? I love working out. I love running. I love everything about it. But it’s like something in me holds me back… it’s almost like a feeling of wanting to get “everything else done” first and then I’ll relax and focus on me. But that’s not how life works. Life is a constantly moving sidewalk. I need to force time for me in my daily schedule and not settle for less. I need to look at it as just as serious as if my boss called and me and told me that I had to take care of something at a film lab or something. I wouldn’t even think about it, I would just do it. Well, I have to make 2009 the year I adopt the same level of intensity in my personal health and overall well-being. I can’t keep “going for broke”. That got me here but now it’s time to BALANCE everything out and take care of myself so I can make the best of the situation I am currently in at work. I am making more and more contacts at the studios and labs and everyone else here in this town with dreams. I’m getting stronger and stronger professionally but weaker and weaker physically and because of that, emotionally and mentally now too. So when I have this major career breakthrough, I will be so wacked out I won’t be able to appreciate what I have created for myself! Or worse, I will be so disconnected to my body that I will start to manifest the wrong kinds of things in my career and life. You know what I mean? It’s sick. It has to stop. Enough is enough dammit! I have a body dammit! haha! But seriously… we are more than our careers, more than our dreams, more than who we are to our families, more than a sister, a brother, a mother and a son… we are so many things and it’s up to US to keep it in balance.
My live BlogTV show on Sunday at 11am PST/2pm EST will be all about looking back at 2008. I’ll tell you about some of the things I did that I think kicks butt, (new job at Paramount, running half marathon and raising money for Leukemia and other blood cancers) but I’ll also tell you about some of the things I did or didn’t do that are annoying to me and what I plan to do to turn it around in 2009!
The following Sunday, 12/28, my live BlogTV show will be all about looking ahead in 2009! (And whatever else we end up talking about, right?!) I hope to see you there!
