Maja's Mental Health

It's that time again of the month...no, not THAT time, but the time where I say what my focus is. This month, the fifth month of the year (my birthday month-WHAT WHAT!), is where we start over with our focuses. We are back at "Health and Wellness." Perfect timing since WAM Wedding is JUST around the corner. Holy crap. Seriously. The corner is less than two months wide. Yikes! Good yikes :)

Back to health. Back to wellness. I am happy to say I am officially done with my first year of grad school! w00t w00t....doing my happy dance. It consists of my hips shaking and my arms going crazy above my head to no particular beat. Yup, I am that cool. FOCUS! So, with it being the end of my school year and an absolutely hair graying, break down encouraging, make-me-wanna-run-to-relieve-stress kind of semester, I thought a mental health goal would be good. Not good, NEEDED. Much so. Very much sooooooooo.....Will will vouch for me.

My first goal for May is to have a mental health night. It works out marvelously because Willis is once again in a golf league and they play on Thursday nights. Perfection. I have decided to make Thursday evenings (after work of course) my "Maja's Mental Health Night." Aka, I will be doing whatever I want, but I will remain at home. I will relax. I will do something for me. I will take time to enjoy life, myself, the quiet of the apartment, the quiet in my head, the evening. All by myself.

I used to have "Maja Nights" when I lived alone. Every Monday night I would crack open some wine, paint my nails, watch a girl show, read a book or craft. It was bliss. I can escape. From life. From my to do lists. From everything and just be. It's nice. Everyone needs an escape.

This goal is good for me for many reasons, but the biggest  baddest reason of all is I cannot relax. I cannot NOT do something. Am I ADD? Possibly. Do I have OCD? Most definitely. Do I love nothing more than accomplishing things and multi-tasking? Abso-freaking-lutely! It's not a bad thing if you have balance. I don't have balance. I have busted my butt this semester and have not had the time to just not do anything. This is going to change. And I am going to enjoy every moment of my Maja nights! I can't wait!

Knowing me, I will make a "Maja's Mental Health Night" to do list....oy-vey....help me!
