It is pretty obvious that sitting around waiting for something good to happen is not working. I've got to make a plan.
Luckily, making a plan involves making a list. And I LOVE making lists. I have decided to to divide my focus into three areas. Mind, Body and Spirit. The trick will be to find a balance between all these things, which I know won't be easy. But as the saying goes "nothing worth having was easy." Or something along those lines anyway.....These areas are broad and sweeping, and incredibly vague. I intentionally left them that way. A plan is a good thing to have, but I also want to leave myself room to follow different opportunities.
Mind- For me this means spending time developing my brain! Staying home with kids all day can make you feel like you are losing your mind. As much as I love rocking out to a Bubble Guppies jam, after awhile it starts to turn your brain to mush. My plan is to take a course or learn a new skill. And also, to read more books. I love reading, and used to be an avid reader but books are one of the things I find I no longer have time to indulge in. Until now!
Body- I'll be focusing on eating better, being more active and taking better care of my physical self. It also includes putting some more effort into my appearance because I'm not afraid to admit- I'm pretty vain. Honestly though, I find if I put a little effort into my outward appearance, I tend to feel better about myself. And that is what this project is all about after all.
Spirit- Ah, the tough one. To me focusing in on my spirit is the biggest challenge of all. It is forcing me to really look inward which is scary. In this area, my plan is to start to practise self-love. Forcing myself to slow down, and find some new ways to feed my spirit. Ambiguous enough for ya? This will be my biggest challenge by far, but so so SO important.
This blog is really a culmination of all of my 'improvement areas' and YOU are my motivation. Thanks for sticking with me!
