Monotony!

Guys, I'm trying too hard... I never post anything because I don't have anything "amazing" to talk about. I have nothing to "inspire" you with. But, the truth is, I shouldn't care! I do, but I shouldn't! I could write about whatever I want and it's not like you guys are expecting something super interesting. Who knows how many people read this and actually care about what it says anyway? So, here is a post about how I'm boring... ;)

The rut... we all get into it and it is the HARDEST thing to get out of!! This rut can be a habit you have been trying to kick, focusing only on work, a daily routine that you have become accustomed to, really, anything! My rut is currently that of routine. I eat the same things, I go to the same places, I do the same things, I see the same people (This isn't to offend, I love all of you!!) blah, blah, blah! I have been in this rut for the longest time, I go about doing the things I am comfortable with and occasionally peer over my rut at all the things that "I'm going to do one day..." This is the point here; there are so many things I have wanted to do but have never had guts/commitment to do.

So Christien, here is your goal:  It's time for you to stop wishing and start doing! Grab a ladder and climb out of that rut! On this post I will make a list of things I want to do. Yes, it will be a bucket list of sorts. I will add to this list as I come up with ideas. I have one year to get it all done so I better get started! 

Here it goes...

1. Vacation to the east. (I know, starting off big! This is serious!)

2. Fly on a plane. (^^Will probably go hand in hand.^^)

3. Skydiving. (I will probably pass out from fear, but no one said I had to be conscious to do it...)

4. Go ice skating at least 10 times this winter. (It's small, but I didn't go at all last winter!)

5. Become comfortable with doing things alone. (This is a big one for me.)

6. Make 5 new friends. (Whoa, getting crazy here!)

7. Discover 3 delicious restaurants. (Of course food is a part of the challenge)
8. First kiss.  HA!!! It will happen when it happens! I'm not smacking a time limit on this baby!

9. Whenever someone is wearing a nametag, use their name. (I like when people do this, it makes it personal!)

10. Find something active to do, and stick with it!

11. Explore! Find a secret place to call my own! 

Ok, we will start with those 10. However, I will definitely be adding to the list! Some of the things may sound dumb, heck, some of them are and kind of make me feel silly BUT, it's a good start! I haven't exercised my "dream muscle" in a while and it always starts small!

I challenge you guys to do the same! Join me with my bucket list! Well, not mine, but make your own! Heck, if you want to join me with mine, by all means! But, I'm sure we could all use a break from the "norm"!
