Update on “get rid of it” project!

As you remember, the project was as follows and here are latest updates: 

GET RID OF IT PROJECT: Giving up, giving away, letting go of unuseful stuff from my life:

• Giving up on the activities I used to like but I really do not have energy/time/motivation to do anymore. Once I love them, now I do not have time to love them. So, I will just stop setting goals and failing about them 🙂 Relieved already.

I’m giving up on being a Tango Argentina performer

I was a really good on-stage dancer focused only on ”Tango Argentina”. I learned but never performed any Latina or other ballroom dances on stage. However, I fell in love with the Tango passion 🙂 Well, that was 15 years ago. I always missed dancing on stage and my firends endlessly tried to convince me to go back on stage every year but something was off. I wanted to dance but the work, school, career and jealous boyfriends made me leave it behind. I felt that it was not my choice but other factors that kept me from stage. However, now I realize that, if I wanted it that much I would have find some time for the past 3 years as I did not even have a boyfriend to be jealous 🙂 So, I leave you behind Tango Argentina, with my own choice now, with good memories of aching feet, endless hours of rehearsals, strong friendships and stormy applause I heard after my stage performances. I will not sigh any more about you. So long…

I’m giving up on expecting too much from myself

I lowered some of my expectations about my projects and postponed some deadlines today. I don’t want to hate this project I want to love it through the journey. Here are my updates about less expectations.

• Giving away the clothes I haven’t worn for more than a year, and the things that are not useful to me any more. They make a crowded feeling around me. So better get rid of them 🙂

I nearly made 8 big packs of clothes to be given away. I will send them to my mother and she will take care of the give-away part. I also found a chance to clean and organize my closet during the evaluation 🙂 I also got rid of some of the things which seem useless for me including furniture, kitchen utensils etc.

• Letting go of the people who drain my energy, who I do not contact anymore, clearing phonebook & facebook “so called” friends.

I haven’t started to clear my list yet. I will do it this week 🙂

I suppose this project will be finished by the end of this week long before the deadline which is at the end of January 🙂

NEW project added!

I give myself 1 month to do it. End of January 2015 is my deadline!

GIVING UP IS A GOAL ITSELF!

Very simple:

If you haven’t worn those jeans in the last year, wear it today or give it away.

If you made a decision to change your life, although you failed countless of times before, if you can do something about it today, do it. If not, give it up.

Giving up or letting go is a decision too, such as letting go of people who drain your energy or giving away old clothes that you do not wear any more, or getting rid of old stuff in your house.

Giving it up is a decision and better than doing nothing about it.

So, I have a new goal!

With three dimensions:

• Giving up on the activities I used to like but I really do not have energy/time/motivation to do anymore.
• Giving away the clothes and stuff I haven’t worn for more than a year.
• Letting go of the people who drain my energy.

This will be like a mental detox for me!

I give myself a month to do that 🙂 So, deadline is at the end of January 2015.

Love,

Alex
