Routine

This post will be short and sweet; just a few things that have been on my mind.

I love schedules.

But at the same time I feel restless when I do the same thing for too long.
For example...by the end of the spring semester I was SO ready to be done with doing the same thing, but now that we are getting toward the end of the summer break I am feeling restless again and ready for the next thing. I'm ready to read, and write, and learn, and push myself. But at the same time jumping back into a new routine and jumping back into pushing myself is unsettling too.

Apparently I can't win 😂

But in all reality, that restlessness is a sign for me that it's time to get my butt in to gear and get focused again. Start pushing myself and stop being lazy. I am totally guilty of being lazy...procrastination is a "talent" of mine, but when I don't have immediate goals I have to hit that procrastination quickly can turn into laziness. And I don't like that it does that to me... I've never been great at self motivation (just ask my Mom...) but it's a battle I face with myself almost daily.

So, as we approach the fall semester, and even as my stress levels are already beginning to rise, I'm ready to get into a new routine. And this year I'm determined to be better about reaching goals I want to hit, growing mentally and spiritually, being healthier physically, mentally, and spiritually, and accelerating in my new role at the college. I'm ready.

Next week Clay and I get to take an amazing trip with friends, and then it's routine time!

Here's to {lots of} coffee, little sleep {hopefully more than I think}, and a great next {and final} school year, alongside a new routine.
