Things I won't be doing in the new year

[dearohdeary]

Any extra work on top of my duties

Collections for presents

Talking to management about work shy colleagues and watching them do nothing.

Taking on any mental load in work at all!

Anyone else want to join me ?

Sending Christmas Cards to anyone other than the 2 people who've sent them to us.

Admittedly it's a bit of a way off...but come next Nov/Dec I won't be buying boxes of cards and books of stamps!

Applying for any more jobs in a sector I keep getting knock-backs from.

Making more stress for myself by committing to stuff I don’t want to do.

Being so bloody nice and apologetic.

Spending so much time on social media.

Comparison (often made worse by social media).

Eating crap processed foods then complaining I'm fat.

Love all these.

Apologising for not wanting to do things.
A simple No I Don't Want To will suffice.

Procrastinating about not having time for things I do want to do (started learning Finnish this week after wanting to for months but "not having time ".)

Feeling awful for not giving lifts to people.
Pass your test and stop wasting money on shit dear friend you are nearly 40.

Putting myself last. I m a person too.

I won't be..

Eating for the sake of it! Im terrible i eat and eat when not hungry.

Buying unnecessary stuff each time I pop to supermarket. Which helps the above

Ruminating on the past. I want to reclaim the mental space that’s taken up by regrets and past hurts.

Offering to do things I don’t want to do.

Trying to please other people instead of being myself.

Same about ruminating. I used to feel guilty my child is an only but I don't want another so why should I?

Reading AIBU on mumsnet

Making the effort to facilitate relationships. If people don't bother then they don't bother. Shrug.

Stressing that my legs are too fat etc and just trying to eat healthier. Worrying over pointless drama and friends who aren't friends. Drinking. Spending money.

Spending time on social media. Deleted all my accounts.

People pleasing. I need to start putting myself first.

Worrying about people who don't make the effort, if they don't make the effort neither will I.

Using my phone as an alarm clock. I'm done with the iPhone alarms! Feel like I'm being woken up mid car crash every morning!

Can this thread be saved so that posters can come back and read what they have written. Then get the kick up the bum needed if they start to fall back into old habits?.

Wasting time scrolling through social media
Over-eating and eating rubbish
Worrying about what others think of me
Doing anything above my pay grade
