I am nearly 26 years old. I work from home, have a fantastic husband and a smart, funny and cuddly daughter.
And I have grown complacent. I feel like I should be a little more “together” by now. I have kept up my fitness and weight loss goals (almost 20 pounds gone, just over 15 to go), but all of my other goals have fallen by the wayside.
This year, I wanted to finish at least one novel. I also wanted to get our finances in order, and build my business. I am not even close to any of these goals. I’ve gotten off track somewhere, and I need to fix that. I need to work a little more, and work on building my career. If I’m bringing in extra money, it will be easier to get the finances settled. I need to start training and learning again. I have over a dozen books sitting on my bookshelf, bought for work purposes, that I have not read yet. It’s time to get with it.
I have a couple projects in the works, and I have a plan to get everything under control. I just need to actually get out there, and get this stuff done. I am going to relaunch my career, my goals, my life. And I’m going to be doing it Rockstar style.

I know that “complacent” feeling! I am also a 26yr old, and I stay home with our daughter. I had a career, that I LOVED by the way, but we don’t feel like it’s easy to trust daycares, and we had to relocate for more room, so the pay didn’t equal out to all the disadvantages. I started feeling like I have no identity other than being a mama. You should be PROUD of yourself! The most exercise I’m able to get, is taking my daughter for a walk in the stroller. You have a home business, and are raising your daughter, and raising your daughter(if she’s anything like mine)is a full time job in itself! You are an inspiration to us other stay at home mom’s, that we can have a separate identity! Keep it up, and finish that novel!
