Changes

So been feeling sluggish somewhat lately so this week and evaluated my life stance and decided to make changes. Changes are good, they help you figure out who you are as person. So some of my focuses as of late are as follows

Vegan - Being vegetarian is massive step but I always feel I can do more. I was vegan once before, it can be tricky especially eating out but I've decided that this is something true to my heart. Factory farming is cruel, extremely cruel and I just feel I can't be a part of that. I don't believe a vegan diet to be unhealthy anyway if managed correctly. I'm not one for really telling people what to eat but I also don't hide me either. Like I'd always advise people to think about what they are eating but not be in their face about it.

Poker - Had a break from poker for a while but ready to come back and really work hard. What do I want out of this game ? I want to be a great player who gets to the top. When my play is at a very good standard and I build up to high stakes I'll look into the more media side of things like commentary etc, that interest me but I have to prove myself first. The games are getting tougher but I'm ready for the challenge that awaits.

Casual Dating - I'm 24 and although I've dated a good number of girls I have never been in a long term relationship, I can think of 2 main reasons for this. Firstly I enjoy my own company. I'm an introvert, I'm actually quite sociable when I'm out and stuff but give me a choice of going to a club or going to the cinema and I'd choose the cinema, don't get me wrong I actually enjoy going to clubs but that's cause I only go the odd times so it's fresh and exciting. I just like my own time, analysing and exercising. Playing video games, I need alone time to function so I think because of this it doesn't make me need another person around as eagerly as maybe someone else. Secondly I am lucky to have a very strong family unit so I therefore feel loved, like from a kid to now always felt loved by my family. But I do enjoy meeting girls so I would like to continue what I do without any pressure but maybe give myself that extra little bit of effort.

Exercise - I'm usually very disciplined with my exercise regime but due to traveling down England lately and sitting about when I got back I didn't keep my standard exercise. Still worked out but skipped a couple of sessions, not normal for me. So tomorrow I am back out running twice and week alongside my normal workouts of three times a week. I'll keep this for a month and then maybe add another exercise like boxing or something. Don't worry I only shadow boxing.

So that is a couple of my focuses at the moment. I'll always be a kid at heart but I'm getting wiser about certain things and I do feel I'm becoming a better person overall. My advice for anyone who is feeling a bit down or lazy lately is to

1) Schedule better
2) Do what makes you happy
3) Focus only on the present

Thank you for reading this blog. I want to blog more often again.
