Learning Where to Focus

The biggest thing that I've been trying to work on is directing my focus off of others and onto myself. There is so much I want out of life. I want a better career. I want to travel and see the world of course. My biggest problem is always putting myself last in front of others instead of first.

Since my separation, I have reconnected with so many people and I've been spending time building stronger relationships but I am getting concerned I am not making time for myself anymore. I come home from work and run. Now that I'm not attached to a man's schedule, I have filled it with friends instead. I need to learn to balance and say no to plans once in a while.

I did make a list of goals for this year and accomplished quite a few. The biggest one is writing the first draft to my book. I was happy with the start of it but I haven't touched it in a month now. I sit in front of the computer and stare. Then i get distracted by Facebook and the T.V.

Bottom line is even after your marriage crumbles and your social calendar opens up, you need to book a little time for yourself to make sure you are on the right path and your focus is on what really matters.
