Hello,my bucket list friends! I know the title of this post is a little odd but I consider myself to be an open person and I have a lot of emotions that I want to sort through right now so here goes nothing. I’m just gonna come right out and say it. I’ve decided to move on from my career in preschool and childcare. I have worked on and off in the childcare industry since I was in high school. I have worked in summer camps, done babysitting, I worked at an indoor playground,an after school program, and preschools. The stress of this industry has been negativity impacting me for a while now. I have walked away from this industry before only to come crawling back to the steady hours it offerd. It is easy to find jobs in the childcare industry when you are qualified because there is a high turnover rate. I have put in my two weeks notice at my current job. I also signed a contract to myself saying I would never return to childcare industry. I’m going to be blunt it is a high stress and low paying industry. Most of the employees in this industry are under stress and pressure. It’s not a very healthy environment when you have a bunch of stressed out people working together. I’m excited to move on from this career that is honestly harmful to my health. However, I’m terrified because I’m not sure what’s next. I know I want to have a career in voice acting and writing but I’m not going to be able to start making money in that right away. I’ve been applying to a lot of jobs and I will see which one I end up with with. I know that having a lower stress job will give me the energy I nees to focus on my dreams. I know God has a plan for me it’s just hard because I don’t know what that plan is but I also know that he will show me in his perfect timing. I’m so proud of myself for taking this important step in my life. I should have left this industry a long time ago but I let fear hold me back. Well not anymore. Things are uncertain right now but I’m looking forward to new adventures.

Thanks for reading!

2020 goals how did I do ?

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! In my last post I set my goals for 2021. However I wanted to review my goals for 2020 . Let’s get to it!

2020 goals

Draw at least one picture every week – I didn’t stick to the one drawing a week but I did draw a lot this year . I’ll call this one a win!

listen to audio books for 3 hours each week – I didn’t stick to the weekly rule on this one either. I listened to audio books somewhat but not as much as I would have liked to.

Read two or more books each month – I completed my Good Reads challenge of reading 25 books this year! I’m really happy about this one!

build up my saving accounts – last year wasn’t a great year for that but I have a good feeling about this year.

Hang out with a friend at least once a month – I don’t think this happened every month but I was able to do a few friend hang outs .

Complete the monthly step challenge on Samsung Health each month – I was doing good until July . I’ll see how I do this year.

Thanks for reading !

2021 goals !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! Happy new year! 2021 is here and that means it’s time to set some new goals. My main focus for this year is to slow down and try to not get caught up in the fast-paced environment that I live in. Cheers to slowing down.

1. Read 50 books . I finished my Goodreads challenge of reading 25 books for 2020. This year I’m going to aim for 50 this year.

2. Take more baths . I useally take showers because they are quicker but baths are much more relaxing.

3. Use 5 new bath bombs! I love bath bombs and I want to discover new ones that I love.

4. Start freelance writing- I love writing and I really want to start writing on different websites.

5. Cross five things off my bucket list ! I crossed nine items of in 2020. I gonna aim for 5 this year!

New years goals 2019

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. It’s a new year, so that means it is time for some new goals . This year I’m hopping to focus on reducing stress and reducing debt . I also have a few smaller goals that I want to accomplish this year. So let’s get to it

 

New years goals 2019

Decrease my dairy and sugar consumption

When it comes to my diet there are two things that stand out to me . Number one wanting to move towards a vegan lifestyle and number two wanting to decrease the amount of sugar that I’m eating . I have a feeling that 2019 is the perfect year to start these changes .

pay off two of my three credit cards

I have three credit cards that need to get paid off . A similar item was in my goals last year but  I did not succeed so I’m looking forward focusing on decreasing my debt this year

Get a day planer and use it

I got one of Christmas and I’ve already started using it so I’m off to a good start

Use my essential oil diffuser

I got one a while ago but I haven’t set it up yet. Essential oils are great for reducing stress and that is one of my main focuses this year.

Get back in to WWE

I’ve been a WWE fan for many years but when I went to massage school  I stopped watching it and I haven’t got back into it yet.  I want to go back to being the WWE fan I used to be .

Use twitter more often

One of my bucket list items is to tweet 10,000 times so I need to step it up . I also want to live tweet during WWE shows like I use to.

Use coloring for stress relief

I’m going to do my very best to reduce stress this year and coloring has helped me in the past I just need to do it more often .

Get to my goal credit score

This year feels like a good year to get this done !

Cross 12 things off my bucket list this year

A dozen items in one year ? sounds like a great challenge to me !

Rock on – Christina Epperly
