Day 2: Grading my 2018

I know, I know, I am publishing this the same day as the first one…..I did the first video last night and was too tired to post. I did day two in the morning.

This one was about grading my 2018. So here we go:

My Body 1-10 (Hate it - Love it)

7. I like what my body has become since losing weight last year. I feel like I can do more and there are some sections I wish would just go away, but I don’t hate them. I definitely feel more in tune with what my body needs and wants…and more so, I feel comfortable being able to understand the difference between the two.


My Work/School 1-10 (Hate it - Love it)

3. I loved the people at my office. I really did, but the work was not as fulfilling as it used to be. I knew something was going on and felt a disconnection with the rest of the company partners. I also felt like I had to validate what I actually did since I moved from working directly with the games to with the studio as a whole. While I generally liked what I was doing, some days it felt like I was a secretary or a bit of a dumpster for odd jobs around the studio. If we had more titles, I think I would have been happier and busier.


My Money 1-10 (Scared - Prepared)

8. I paid off my student loans in 2017 and paid off my husband for fronting me with a lump sum to start the process off. I have saved up what I can and have felt prepared in case the worst that could happen….which was being laid off. Honestly, if that is the worst, I’ll take it.

And I did.


My Love Life 1-10 (Disconnected - Connected)

5. Honestly, I marked this as 5 because both my husband and I have a desire for our own space at times. I am extremely happy with our relationship. However, since the bar from 1 to 10 is gauged on connected-ness and not love, I marked it at 5. Love would be at a 9-10.


My Friendships 1-10 (Empty - Full)

8. I am the type of person that has a lot of acquaintances and handful of really close, deep friendships. I mark these at an 8, because I live abroad and it is hard to connect with them at times. But the friendships themselves are a 10+


My Self Worth 1-10 (I Hate Myself - I Love Myself)

9. I originally wrote 8, but I really have worked hard on myself and continue to do so. I do asshole things now and again, but I REALLY try to learn from them, especially when working with others, because their reaction helps me understand more. I am proud of where I am and where I have come from. I would like to live more in the moment, which is why I did not mark this at “10”.
