stress

I am not living my 'best life' as Oprah would say. Ever since I started grad school I haven't felt like myself. Before starting grad school I had a job I was good at, enjoyed my co-workers, liked the organization. I decided to move on so that I could become more experienced and ultimately be able to change the world. Seriously. It's a little more complicated than that of course.
I'm going off base. I have decided I need to live my best life. I have to. I am miserable with how I'm living now. I don't do the things I enjoy as much as I used to. I need to change that. Those were the things that made me happy, made me keep going. I say that it's financial, that's why I can't do it. It also is time management. Literally, I have no time. I need to budget (literally) in these things that make me happy. I miss belly dance to death. I miss a yoga community. Heck, church is free and I haven't even found a spiritual community. Besides wanting to sleep in Sunday morning, there is no reason for me not to attend.
So, having said that I'm going to work on living my best life and it begins today.... okay tomorrow since it's almost 11pm and I need to go to bed. But regardless it begins. Technically, I did yoga this morning, it was so lovely and needed. I haven't been steady about doing yoga so much. So it's already started. I am living my best life. It's just that I'm so stressed. How can I live my best life with stress so high my hair is falling out, my back is tight and my shoulders are by my ears.... ::sigh:: I will find the time for me. I have to.
One thing that helps is that my friends and I have a Friday night dinner. I'm excited about that. That's tomorrow. I get my haircut on Saturday... there's another thing for ME and hanging out with family most of the day. I'm going to blog weekly about how I am living my best life.
