I was cleaning up my sewing room and I ran across YET another book about dieting and I am reading about people having food addictions. I can say that I do not have a food addiction however I am addicted to finding my NITCH. I crave to have a hobby or little side business to be creative and give my all.

I struggle with not having the time OR have poor time management that keeps me from moving forward in my ideas and the things I want to do so I get in a RUT a place where I feel I am so overwhelmed with my PROJECTS I don’t know where to start so I give up go watch TV and EAT. My creative mind is all over the place and one minute I want to do this and one minute I want to do that, but I can’t do that I really don’t have enough time so I will do this but I’m missing some supplies or I don’t have the tools and it goes round and round and I get absolutely nowhere.

I will start one thing and then come up with another idea and bump what I was doing down and on and on and on. It’s crazy but I am understanding that this just might be one of the processes of MENOPAUSE.

How do I control this:

  1. Completing the cleanse
  2. Print out photos and put them in my sewing room of things I have completed (morale booster)
  3. Start 8/14/2016 on my jeans and complete it till the end – DO NOT START ON ANYTHING ELSE
  4. Utilize the calendar I have for project completion.

Keep making a check off list and DO NOT SWAY from this list – Starting today it is CRITICAL that I completed everything as I arrange it – this will give me a sense of control that I am moving forward and it will also keep me in control of my diet and I won’t get into RUTS.

Some people might mark this a depression but I see it as just struggling with the 2nd phase of your life, not knowing what to do or where to turn – how’s this for crazy – I have started or acquired domain names for 9 blogs/business names. Out of these 9 domain names 4 of them were talking about dieting – THAT IS JUST NUTS.

My key blogs are this one passionforthebasics.com – thefoursafter50.com which will be up and running next year and I just repurchased restitchit.com  – passionforthebasics.com will go away and then I will have one blog and one sewing site that one day I will get into repurposing clothing and do alterations in hope to generate enough income to keep up my hobby habits. Another favorite hobby is Photography but it is a skill that I love but I’m not passionate about – I have taken some great photos and they are hanging on my wall on canvas at home but photography doesn’t hold my interest but I will keep my skill level up and have the latest photo editing software because I want it to bring my blog and Restitichit.com  business ALIVE.

That’s all my thoughts for now – till tomorrow
