When I don’t write for a day or 2 more, it usually means that I am going through something and don’t want to talk about it. Or, I am really thinking in depth about a person or situation. Right now, … Continue reading
I haven’t been writing in my journal religiously, or reading my Bible as much as I wanted or getting a lot of work done. But, my cough is getting better and I worked out 2 days this week! So yay!!! This whole “trying to better myself in 10 different ways at the same time” thing is really a lot of work!
Are you guys meeting your goals or visions for yourself right now? I am the kind of person that has great ideas and great intentions, but I tend to do really well on a few things, but not on more than a few things at a time. If I am writing regularly and working out, then my other goals fall by the way side.
I admire people like one of my friends on Instagram called theglamuniversity. She just did this awesome woman’s empowerment and business event that is a sleepover and all of the tricks of the trade are taught by powerful successful women like her. She is writing a book, she is expanding her empire. She is getting in shape. She is becoming a mogul! I am so happy for her! But how do people do it?
I am not trying in any way to compare myself to others but all I can say is that I am a decent multi-tasker, but not when it comes to major life changes. I guess I will just take it one day at a time and do the best I can to master or keep up with a few things in my life that mean the most. Then perhaps I can spend a little time on everything else. How do you guys get motivated or stay motivated? Tips, please!!

Project get rid of things we don’t need/use/use/want 2016 is underway. My daughter got rid of around 50 books. So did I. I have also gotten rid of the stray shirt, pj item, old Wii game, decoration, knick-knack and thing-a-ma-bob. It feels quite cathartic, but it is overwhelming to see how much we have, though I am constantly getting rid of things.
I feel like we as Americans just have so much stuff. If some major thing were to go down and I would have to leave here in 30 minutes time, I would only grab my daughter, cat, photos, journals and baby items I have kept. So, why the need for all of the other?
I started right after Christmas and have continued nearly every single day. That is called being blessed when one can get rid of hundreds of items and their home still not be bare. I want this to be the year of lean. Lean closets, lean waist, and lean spending. I am bored with dust bunny covered items just because.
My biggest problem is papers at this point. Ticket stubs I want to keep as memories, programs, fliers, doo-dads from events, postcards, the whole nine. I think February will be about memories that aren’t the normal material things. It will be good for smiles, laughs and cries, and though I may not get rid of a lot of it, it will make more for the next series of events and memories.
Here’s hoping that you are doing or going to do in 2016, the things that are healing for you and close to your heart. I started a one sentence a day 5 year journal on the 1st. I am looking forward to making that a part of my daily routine along with writing, exercising and praying. Blessings to you all!
