This is me. My name is Megan and this blog is all about Project Megan. Regaining myself. Finding the me that left 2 years ago out of frusteration and anger.
After a couple years of being in a downward funk I am taking back me. I have no doubt in my mind that it will be a struggle with ups and downs but this past two years hasn't been a piece of cake either.
2 years ago I was in a car accident and suffered nerve damage in my right arm that has led to all sorts of other struggles, pain in the jaw, migraines, hand cramping, numbness...but the worst has been the frusteration and anger I feel. I struggle with things I loved so much, such as drawing. So I allowed myself to get into a funk and haven't been able to drag myself out. In the pitty me funk I didn't watch what I ate, I quit repeatedly on myself with working out when the pain got to me. I packed up my art stuff. I turned into a heavy, negative beast.
One thing you should know about me...I hate medicine. My husband always jokes because I ask about interactions with other things. I guess that is my phobia, and yes Orange Juice is okay to take with most medications. Haha. So the one thing I really haven't taken or resorted to this whole time has been medications aside from the odd time for migraines. Perhaps if I had I wouldn't have become so grumpy, but I don't like to mask or bandaid issues.
I have always been a fairly motivated, competitive person so this is really kicking my ass that I got into such a brutal place. I have 2 daughters that I want to look up to me and see positive, determination and drive. I haven't been a very good role model and it's taken a toll on my health. On everything really.
I saw this in a blog recently and it describes me perfectly as of late...
The saying goes, “Every journey begins with a single step.” For me, at least, the problem isn’t that first step. I can delve into projects with great enthusiasm, no problem. It’s usually step number 352 that gets me down. Then, through lack of energy or simple frustration, I simply get off the road.
I am focused now and it's time to regain myself and in goal setting I am looking even further! I am about to change my life for the better all the way around.
Here is my plan:
The 2013 Plan to Change My Life
-Eat Healthy!
-Exersize!
-Organize
-Cross off those To Do's that have been nagging for 2 years!
-Live a couple Bucket List Items!
I figure the above is not too much to start with. It's just about getting into a daily routine, keeping positive and finding success in accomplishing things. So we will see how this goes.
I am blogging to hold myself accountable. To look back in one year and see how many changes I have really made. Maybe others with their own life struggles will stumble on this blog and together we can share our daily successes. Who knows but Today I Am Focused!
