Happy Friday!!

I am so glad today is Friday and we have a long weekend ahead of us.  

So apparently there is this trend going on in social media that is about what is in/out in your personal life.  This is MY list.

IN-

Reading- I loved reading ever since I could read books therefore my goal for this year is to get back into reading.  I am trying to see if I could read 40 books for the year but will be happy if it is a lot more books to read.

Traveling- Weekend trips, weeklong trips, day trips, any type of trips but for me I want to be traveling a lot more than last year.

Retirement/IRA Contributions- The state of California has a IRA contribution program so I started contributing to that. I am starting small $50/a month but hope to increase and max it out for the year. Then on top of that I have retirement 401K through my current employment and I am contributing the minimum. But at least it is something. My goal is to up by the end of year to 10 %. I am at 4% right now.  

Improve my credit- I been trying to fix my credit for the past year. Thanks to COVID and getting laid off my credit got terrible. Combine that with the move to California from Texas I been trying to play catch up. So this year is the year I will fix my credit once and for all. 

Expanding my recipe arsenal to include new and different dishes. Me and Ryan want to make Sushi at home so we will be learning how to do that together. We love cooking together, I want us to take a cooking class together. 

Take advantage of our hiking trails over the spring and summer with Lucky. Not only hiking trails but also our downtown has  many cool stuff to do especially our food hall. Just living in the moment. 

Take care of myself physically but also mentally. Continue to take my medicine but also resume therapy. 

OUT

Social Media Doom Scrolling- I don’t want to live my life on the internet so my goal is to put a limit on social media. No more doom scrolling. I am forcing myself to read when I have the urge to doom scroll. I am also going to download an app that blocks me from social media after certain hours so I could have less distractions. 

Gossiping/drama I don’t want to be pulled in to anyone’s drama this year. I don’t want any part of drama. I just want a happy life and the closer I get to 40 the more I am prioritizing my mental health.

That is my list In/Out for 2024!

Happy Friday!!!

I will be back here on Wednesday since Monday is a holiday. Will be taking the long weekend off from blogging.
