So I am now technically off from work for 2 weeks for the Christmas break. Whilst I will need to work a bit here and there, I am going to confine that to the early mornings as much as possible to get it over and done with. But then I’m left with a bunch of free time that I need to fill in. I have a few things that I would like to accomplish or at least make a decent start on, so I figured if I list them on the internets it makes me accountable. So in no particular order, here is how I am hoping to spend my time this break:

1. Spending quality time with my boyfriend – He works 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off so it will be nice to just have some quality down time together
2. Spending quality time gaming – It is such a stress relief for me, however, I have been so busy so haven’t had a chance to play much and it makes me sad
3. Filing away months worth of documents etc and finally doing our tax – a boring and tedious job, but it must be done
4. Finalising my garden preparations in order to get the astroturf down in the new year so I can then finally have my puppy
5. Make homemade pasta and use my Kitchenaid Sir Mixalot more – Again cooking is a stress relief and I have quite an amount of stress right now so I need to do some cooking, oh and also play with my new favourite toy!
6. Get into the habit of practising daily mindfulness again – I used to be really disciplined with this but fell out of the habit, it is an important habit to have
7. Exercise more – I used to go to the gym/exercise 5 – 6 days a week. Now due to a string of injuries this year it has been reduced to 2 – 3. I miss the endorphin rush exercise brings and it does wonders for my confidence. I also miss being strong, I am getting there though
8. Explore my creative side – This is something I have wanted to do for a while. I just don’t know exactly what it is I want to do just yet. I want to use this time to start figuring it out.

So there you have it. That is how I plan to spend my time, It seems like a lot I know but I really want to make use of this time and be productive. I feel like I need to.
