Better grab that pen and paper and probably, seat
It’s going to be a long one
Unusual, as well, to what you’ve probably been used to, all your life

Let’s begin….clock’s ticking!

Are you dependent? On anything or anyone?
How happy are you, here and now? How about 5 years ago?
Do you have any void in your life, from your past, be it just yesterday?
Does this void need filling or feeling?

Is there anything you feel you’ve neglected in your life?
And feel that you never should have done so?
Have you felt neglected before?
Have you, yourself, neglected somebody before….be it yourself?

Ps. How are we doing now with that list of ya’s?

Do you consider yourself truthful?
To the moon and back?
How about on your commitments to yourself and others? How have you fared on those?
Oh….when I say truthful, I count the white lies, as well! They aren’t exactly truth, are they?

Are you destructive or distractive?
Healthy or unhealthy?
Focused on improving or not?
Eating your life or your life eating you up?

Guess you know the use of an inventory!!!
It’s a good plan to do this every now and again, especially if life is feeling particularly stressful or difficult. Clears out the cobwebs and helps you reset your aims and needs. good post.
😊😊 great, Trish! 😊❤️🤗✊🏼
Wow, you have given me quite a bit of in-depth thoughts about myself, where I have been and where I am going. I do believe that we all fair better when we take stock of ourselves. Thanks!
Hehe…I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for appreciating. 😊❤️🤗✊🏼
You had me thinking there for a minute. Those are good questions to ask oneself…
Aaahhhh…I’m glad to hear that, Donna! I hope you found the answers deep inside. 😊❤️🤗✊🏼
Oh sure. The day after I have stayed up much later than I should have, and have struggled to get out of bed in the morning…. and this guilt trip gets laid on me? Hmmm Yup, time to re-do the personal inventory again!
😂😂😂 for sure, Mary. You’ll get it out of the way, that’s for sure! 😊❤️🤗✊🏼
It’s a good idea to take stock of these feelings once in a while. Life is so fast nowadays that we are just running from one place to the other without ever stopping to understand our feelings. Thank you for this post!
Yyyeeaahhhhh….it always is! 😊👊😍
I’m struggling with some family stuff right now and I really needed this post. Thank you.
Aaawwww…I’m sorry to hear that, Krysten. Hugs. Fingers crossed for the best, sweetness!
It feels so much better to acknowledge the bullshit and get rid of it! I need to do this!
❤️

wow
Aaaahhhhh….thanks! ❤️🤗
Well let’s see, my adult daughter informed me yesterday of all the things that I think I am, but am not, of all the things I didn’t do for her (ignoring the millions that I did and the sleepless days that I spent doing them after working all night as a nurse), the list went on. I don’t know if it’s millenial entitlement rearing it’s ugly head or if I really need to make that list! Great post!
Hhhhmmmm….I think it’s a bit of both, Debra! I’m sorry for our generation….it’s a very interesting one. 😂😊❤️🤗
It’s always a good idea to take a good look at yourself now and then. Thanks for the reminder!
👍👍 you’re welcome.
I think it’s a great idea to step back every once in a while and take a personal inventory of yourself. If you’re feeling negative, down, etc., it’s good to take a breath, and try to determine what’s the cause.
👍👍 definitely!
I need to do this list before the year ends. It could bring so much clarity.
👍👍 please do it!
I was taken aback at the title, mostly because you are clearly calling all of us out on our BS, at least me, I have to take a personal inventory often to be able to stay sane living with a teen ager and a spouse. I guess I am no angel!
👏🏿👏🏿 I’m glad you acknowledge that of yourself.
This is very thought-provoking post! I feel we’re better off if we stop and take account of ourselves from time to time.
👍👍 you’re very right! Most especially, we the men and boys of this world.
totally agree with your checklist, I suggest practice of mindfulness for us to lessen the life inventory later
👏🏿👏🏿 that’s a good suggestion.
since being disabled i have definitely felt more prone to being sensitive about being “neglected”. it’s funny how when we slow down we notice things and feel things more keely. good post as always! Joy
😍😍 thank you for sharing, Joy.
i’m def not happy with where i am in my head. i’m work on me though. that’s the best i can do. i’m my own worst critic.
😩😩😩aaawww….am sorry to hear that!
This is the time of year when we all need to start doing this. Were we better than we were last year? The answer is hopefully yes!
👏🏿👏🏿 I hope it’s a yes!
Reading your post made me really think hard about my self and my life. I try my best to be happy but I long so much for an escape from my daily routine. I am almost at the point of just hopping on a bus and go somewhere, anywhere!
Aaawww….alright!
