academy-life since going through it part 1

It’s funny, if anyone told me I would get a job that would make such a big difference to my l life in such a short time I would have laughed out loud. During the academy several things clicked into place in my head and made me re-evaluate and make changes, and even my dad (who never talks, or shows, emotion!) has commented on the difference in me. Stuck in a rut is probably the best way to describe my work, my personal life and my thought processes. I could talk myself out of doing something within 10 minutes of knowing it was a good idea!
I realised that the people you have in your life do make a big difference to you. I looked at who was in my life, who was holding me back and who thought of me as the person who would fix everything for them. I am not ashamed to say I have cut several people out of my life, have changed the dynamic of several other relationships and said thank you to those who mean a lot to me and have supported me through some very difficult times.
I have done so many things that I had been putting off/should have done a long time ago:
? Got renovations underway in my flat.
? Gave up smoking
? Took back up exercise
? Have appointment tomorrow for gym membership
? Accepted that I have lost weight, that my body shape has changed and that I like it!!
? Bought clothes that fit me since I have lost so much weight rather than hiding away
? Say no to people rather than trying to please everybody
? Do at least one nice thing for myself everyday
? Learned to accept a compliment with good grace.
? Understood that I am good at different things from my brother and this doesn’t mean he is better than me.
? Set myself goals for the future
? Dealt with the past and some issues in the present which I recognized were holding me back.
