My post for the day- What would you change about yourself?

I've gotten better as I've gotten older but I wish I was more assertive/aggressive.  I see people who can say exactly what's on their mind and I'm so envious of them.  I always worry about how things will sound, don't want to rock the boat, etc.

I also wish I wasn't such a big procrastinator.  I make myself crazy when I know there is no need to.

Re: My post for the day- What would you change about yourself?

  • - skinnier (don't we all wish that!)

    - more athletic-  I wish I had a go-to sport that I could actually play without making a fool of myself.  I've started embracing my athletic awkwardness, but it'd be nice to have a little talent

    -  socially comfortable-  I've started to get more social anxiety the older I get. I'm not really sure the reason for this, but I wish I could feel comfortable in all social settings like I used to back in the day. 

  • - I go through periods of shyness. I'd change that completely and get back to where I was before I moved.

    - My HUGE periods of negativity.  Sometimes I wonder if its due to a thyroid issue or low blood sugar, but seriously - if I don't eat every 2-3 hours, I turn into a whiny-butt and hate the world. Not cool, I'd totally change that. If I wake up that way, it lingers unless I stuff my face and go for a long run or bike ride.

    - Motivation.  Its sad to say, but I wish I would stop procrastinating and get some motivation to be "on it" again.  I think my job has a lot to do with it.  When I love my job, I'm on top of everything.  When I'm in a "eh" period with work... not so much.  It'd be nice to balance that out. :) 

  • I wish I was more chill & "go with the flow."  I am such a planner that some times I have a hard time just relaxing & seeing how things unfold.
  • - more willing to take career risks

    - better public speaker and not get so anxious

    - spider veins! i really really hate them.

  • - I wish I had the ability to settle....I make drastic changes at the drop of a hat just because I'm not happy in that moment.  I have yet to regret one of those decisions but I worry that DH will get sick of my impulsiveness lol

    - I wish I enjoyed cleaning/caring for my home.  I was raised with a maid and I've never learned how to budget my time when it comes to household chores.  Instead of learning this quality DH and I have agreed that when I go back to work we're hiring a maid lol (we're ridiculous)

     

     

  • I'd like to have not as big a temper. I also tend to obsess about things and get more upset about them than I really should. I need to just let some stuff go and remember that I can't control the actions of others, I can only control how I react!
    • I wish I was more outgoing and a bigger risk taker
    • I wish I had more confidence in myself (more often)
    • I wish I was a better public speaker and could make my anxiety about it go away (I need to start working on this asap)
    • I wish I was a better cook (I love to cook, but mostly suck at it) Big Smile
  • I wish I had more patience. I am a fairly laid back person, but I can be really impatient sometimes and I wish I was better at that. I wish I had more energy. I feel exhausted all the time no matter how much sleep I get. I wish I had more will power with my diet. Especially the wine drinking portion of my diet! lol
  • I would be less of a b*tch.

    I'm totally serious, by the way.

    I'm normally very nice, but I can be downright rude (and vulgar, and mean, and pissy) when the mood hits me.

    I also wish I didn't obsess about medical issues. I have an appointment coming up on Monday and I have sat here and visualized every possible outcome like eighteen million times and it's not going to change anything.
