20 Things to Accomplish In My 20s Project

By -
A new decade is on the horizon. That means new trends, new technology, new relationships, and new goals. As I approach a this fresh era, I want to have focus. The 2010s were a wild ride for everyone, David Bowie left us and Russia changed the face of Western Democracy. Minimalism and gentrification altered American culture. We became more individualized yet less recognizable as a society. In the Roaring 20s Take Two, I think we should all come together stronger and more cohesive. Let us love each other and appreciate our differences and lift each other up. Yet, we can only appreciate our place in the puzzle if we understand ourselves. Take care of our own space and do what we can. Ground ourselves and rebuild with focus.

In order to do this, I have set a goal of 20 things I want to accomplish in the 20s. 20 things that will be kinder to myself and allow me to be kinder to others. 20 things that will bring stability and strength to my mental foundation. As a note, I left out publishing my books because I feel that it will be the result of me meeting my goals, these are the 20 steps I need to take to feel good spiritually and physically so that I can complete that goal. I was inspired by watching Jeopardy while writing in my guided journal.. A category was the top 100 novels and I was thinking about reading through them. At the same time my journal asked how can I be kinder to myself, and I thought, by living a focused life.

Here are my 20 things, what are yours? I encourage everyone to make a list and join me in the campaign to love ourselves and love each other!





My 20 in the 20s:
Read the top 100 American Novels
Complete my astrology journal

Welcome to my new column, Mental Realness. Here I will be sharing my experiences of living with mental illness. I do this in hoping to reach someone so they know they are not alone or might gain some insight. I also hope to help break the stigma among those who aren't personally suffering. Together we can all get through this! So who am I? Basically, I am a 30-something mother of 3, with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters in School Counseling. I love, hockey, baseball, nature, painting, writing, and most people agree that I straddle the hipster and basic life. I like to re-purpose objects for art or simply for use. Halloween is my happy place and I consider tacos a personality trait. I have a pet turtle and hope to adopt a cat very soon. Me! I also have schizophrenia.  After 18 years of not feeling "right" I finally was diagnosed. I will expand on this more along the way. I'm still coming to terms with grasping all this diagnosis entails and t
