To do morning pages consistently

right now so instead of giving up on writing altogether which I know is medicine to my life. I just decided to write one page everyday at whatever time I can. That seems to be working for now. I’ve been writing pretty consistently. I’m struggling to develop new habits. It takes looking at my actions closely, and taking action in a different direction. I’m proud of some of the changes. I’m excercising more…because even if I can only do 5 minutes….that counts. I’m taking baby steps.

Wow it is so powerful

It helped me call my aunt and stop putting it off
It helped me write out my food plan and shopping list
and also list my priorities for today

And I feel better. I feel better!

Don’t miss this powerful tool because you are being lazy

Today’s Angel Card pic was “Harmony”

Yes I feel more in Harmony when I take time to write for 15 Minutes in the morning.

Frank Lloyd Wright:
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

Today Sunday May 8th, I’m going to stop and do it. I know I need the morning pages, I’m just going to do it.

My goal right now is to slow life down. I want to be able to excercise in the morning, pray, write, read a little. Since this new job a year and a half ago…these things I love have gone by the wayside, work consumes everything. I’m sad about this, and yet I know I’m the only one who can change this. I’ve been sleeping better and that helps. Mainly because of eating less sugar and carbohydrates, and because I’m soooo tired when I go to bed. I don’t want to be a person who is tired and complaining all the time. I want to feel good, look good, have my home in order, have a strong spiritual life, excercise, meditate, go to church, have my papers in order, have my finances together, and be able to have friends and love in my life.
I’m discovering how much better I feel without the sugar, just from a week of being more conscious of it..sugar is poison for me, yet because I feel so out of sorts I use food to comfort me. I have to find another thing that I do when I’m totally stressed out..go to the park do some stretching. Drink some water, call someone. You also need your 12 step meetings, and you need more rest. I’ve been attempting to eat Clean….have days where I don’t eat junk. Also salmon makes me feel really good…fish seems to do better for me than chicken….I have to get on the floor and excercise. Even my sitting Yoga will help to get started. Work is never done, and maybe you have to figure out a different kind of work…this is scarey. But real.

Today I’m grateful for how far I’ve come thru the grace of God.
I’m grateful that I feel well
I’m grateful for spring
I’m grateful that I do have a job, with all of it’s stresses that I haven’t learned to control
I love my home
grateful for my friends

I worked most of the weekend, so it’s up to me to remember if i’m going to take care of myself I have to rest. Rest, rest this is very important.

And I better check in on my finances, things are tight right now. I need a side hustle.

More later. But thank you God for giving me strength to go this morning, and I will try my best not to get stressed out today and take a nap this afternoon.

Now I’m getting it!

A fresh start. I love calendars because I love the potential is makes me feel, and I love planning and having nice things to look forward to. I have to plan more. Fun things and my work. Plan your work and work your plan. I feel happy inside today. I got a good sleep and I don’t feel stressed today. I often feel stressed, I must work on this for the new year. I have to be more light hearted and more playful. Dance more laugh more. Do the fun things I enjoy doing. 2005 was a year of work as I had a new job, however 2007 I declare as a year of “Self-Care”. Which involves letting myself enjoy my life. And stop worrying. Read novels, poetry…take time for the things I like and enjoy friends more. Make coffee dates with friends, and try to be closer to family. I need also to be in school I miss school and learning new things. And I have to figure out what is best about my hair. I’m wanting it shorter and more maintence free. Most of all I want to feel healthy and rested. Do my yoga, walk, eat properly!!! My days get so chaotic, however who is in control of that me!!! I must work harder at this. Simple things: Pray more, drink water, eat raw meals, do yoga, read and contemplate, slow down, declutter and celebrate life more. Look for a new job. Be more grateful! Enjoy being alive.

This is a year of self care for me. Last year I worked so hard on my new year, gained a lot of weight 20 pounds and had a rough year in general with my relationship and finances. Taking care of myself can be as simple as drinking water, excersizing daily and praying. praying. praying. I need more prayer. Today lord help me to be more calm and stay focused on the things i need to do. I want to get that book stress management for dummies. I want to be light and breezy. I want to be a better manager and leader. I need time to read daily. I miss reading and taking notes and actually learning something I have got to pay my traffic tickets whoa…........ today

I have very hectic mornings I havent mastered how to get them in the format I want. I still believe in this as a prayer technique its still worth fighting for.
