Operation make the most of myself

I go to homestart with my twins and this year we started doing courses when the crèche times were extended. Recently we have started a course called ‘make the most of yourself’ it is about obviously making the most of yourself. We have been learning about a beauty care regime and as a result I have started using a face wash and cleansing and toning at night. I have even stated using a facemask once a week.

This got me thinking and I have decided to make my own project of the idea of make the most of yourself, but I will be doing more than just a beauty regime.

Firstly I have decided that my computer must be switched off as much as possible during the day so that I can get jobs done and spend time with my younglings rather than on the computer. I will have a browse of the Internet during breakfast but it will be switched off until the younglings have gone to bed. The computer can be so distracting at times and there has been times when I have only meant to have a quick 10 minute browse and I have ended up being on the computer for an hour.

To start off my plan I am going to start by getting the flat sorted out. I have to seriously declutter and clean and then sort out a system to keep on top of the housework. I am hoping to be moving into a house at some point in the next year so it will make the move much easier if we can cut down the amount of stuff that we have to carry.

Once I have done that I will sort out going back to college. I would like to learn Gaelic, go on an art and creative writing courses.

I will then start planning out my home business. I will work out what I can do and what will be viable for me to do and then make a plan of action about what I will do. I am hoping to get this up and running when the twins have gone to school so I will have the time during the day to work. This will also give me plenty of time to prepare.

That is the physical side of my project so for the mental and spiritual side I am planning on working on my anger issues. I am a lot better but I can be very easily wound up and quick to temper. I do not like this so I am going to work on changing that. I have managed to fight off depression; I am slowly building up my confidence and self-esteem/opinion. I am sure that with work and time I will get the anger under control again.

I became a Buddhist last year but there is a lot about it that I do not know so I need to discover more about Buddhism as well as learning to meditate and taking the time to do so every day.

Every month I will set myself challenges to do so that I make sure that I actually do what I plan to do rather than do what I normally do which is make plans and then put off doing them for another day until they never get done.

The force will be with me.
