I am “aggressively involved in a constant struggle to achieve more in less time”. I am impatient, everything is a rush and I aim to think and do multiple things at once. I don’t know what to do with leisure time and I believe sleep is unproductive. I am overly critical and I set high expectations not only for myself but for everyone around me as well. I have an obsessive need to be in control; I am extremely competitive and goal oriented and have an unhealthy fear of failure. I am dramatic and stubborn, I jump to conclusions and I strive for perfection. These traits have me in a steady realm of anxiousness and an overflow of stress. Also, I tend to not do well with first impressions… how am I doing?
There is no denying it, I am Type A. Fortunately, I am also passionate, creative and sensitive. My high expectations make me ambitious, my urgency ensures my goals will be achieved and everyone needs a little drama in their lives. My mom always told me I should have been in theater… While many of my Type A characteristics can be viewed as negative, I want to learn from my faults and failures yes, I am admitting to failure and evolve into a better person so that I can be a better wife, a better mom, a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend, a better me. I guess that is sort of the purpose of my blog, at least for me personally. I want to look in the mirror, see the person staring back and accept that person, love that person.
My hope is that while on this journey, I am able to inspire, motivate and empower someone else along the way.
