This has been me for the past 30 years. THE TAX ACCOUNTANT…

The one that everyone can rely on for advice, etc. I’ve been doing my friends’ taxes since high school. It’s what made me decide to major in accounting in college. Well, I have evolved. Hopefully, this will be the last year that I will be stressed during tax season. It’s too much! People think that peak tax season is the only time that I’m busy. Wrong!!! An accountant is always busy on and off peak times. If we’re not doing our clients’ taxes, then we’re organizing their finances. There’s other things than just being a tax accountant. That’s just my specialty. There’s also auditing, cost budgeting, and the daily grind of keeping records for a client. This is all year around. So for those who think otherwise. Think again.

One thing that I really enjoy is making “To-Do” list. Why? Because it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something. I read an article about making these lists and found that it’s also another form of procrastination. That’s something I definitely have issues with. When I get overwhelmed, I revert to making “To-Do” list. Ain’t nothing better for me than to have something in front of me like a list to check off to say that I completed something. What the article also pinpointed was that a task list is only a tool. Making a task list isn’t actually doing the work that needs to be done. DOING the tasks on the list is the work. Once I fully read this article, it opened my eyes to what I was actually doing when I’m making my lists. I’m procrastinating.

Ugh!!! So whenever I get into that mode, I know that I have to revamp and remember a post I made many moons ago. And think of the acronym that I explained in the post link below… E.F.F.O.R.T

Dealing with Stress – Financial Fatigue

Just Do It!!!

As a former high school all star athlete, I can’t believe that I’ve allowed myself to get as large as I am today. You never realize until you fully look at yourself in the mirror how different you see yourself. When I think of myself, I still have the college image of myself in my head. After I graduated from high school, I gained weight in college after I stopped running track. But I still found other ways to exercise and was a reasonable size until after I graduated college.

I had serious mental health issues after college graduation and the meds they put me on made me blow up tremendously. Since then, it’s been a constant battle with my weight. That being said, I can no longer allow myself to get any larger. Besides having mental issues, now I’m also having physical issues. I had a slip and fall accident in 2015. At least before, I was still able to do some form of exercise to try to manage my weight. Now it’s been a real problem.

I’ve looked into others ways to do light weight exercise around the house since the CoVid lockdown of 2020. I have an exercise buddy who I would work out with at the gym, but since the pandemic we haven’t been able to meet up. It’s been really tough coping. But I digress.

The Nike motto “Just Do It” sums up how I should focus my energy. I was in a bad way for the past couple months physically and mentally, but I can’t allow myself to be down for too long. It may be “ok to not be ok”, but that shouldn’t allow me to just give up. I tend to make to-do lists and have good plans/ideas to get certain things done. But I wouldn’t act on it. I have goals, and I’m a single mother. I need to be a good example for my child. So from now on I need to focus on not just making plans but to do them.
