Butt Bustin' Babes

Every time I try and get back up on my feet, I get a little bit too enthusiastic and overdo it. So I'm trying to rework my system and do things small bits at a time. Right now I'm working on listening to a talk on my way to work, and getting up in time for work. Today I got up at 7am and did not go back to sleep after I took the dog out. I got ready, made it to work on time, and even put some eye makeup on. I didn't eat breakfast or get food ready for lunch, but I brought my water. As this week goes on, I'm going to get up earlier and earlier. I got a new job that will require me to be to work at 6am, but I will only work 4 days a week, so I will have more time to get the apartment in order and do food prep. I am also working on praying every morning before I leave and listening to a conference talk on my way to work.  

 Good week everyone.  I am most excited to implement my plans for this week.  I have a couple tweaks that I expect will make the difference.  I am going to lazar in on prayer.  I have not done well at all and it is the most important part of my plan.  So here are the goals and the changes below. 1. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 2. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 3. As part of planning I am going to be setting some intentions for the next day.  Just a list of the things I really want to accomplish and how I want the day to turn out.  I will then pray for these things in my evening prayer. 4. Morning prayer will then include those intentions.  I will then state them as affirmations or intentions whichever one feels right.  I also want to include more gratitude throughout the day.  I know that sounds very specific and regimented.  However I tried it early this year for two weeks and it was an amazing two weeks....

 I'm feeling great about today but not so great about these goals.  The longer I fail the less enthusiasm I have for them.  However I'm going to try again this week and make changes next week if I still fail.  Here are the goals below. 1. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 2. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 3. 10:00 I get off of all electronics. 4. 10:30 I go to bed. 5. I get up at 6 am. 6. I exercise first thing. 7. I do the rest of my morning routine. 8. I add the rest of evening routine. I'm working on 1-6. Monday: * I just realized that I am over a week ahead of the come follow me schedule so I'm going to spread things thin until I'm even again.  Today my thought comes from 1 Nephi 12:19.  Nephi says that the Nephites will be wiped out by the Lamanites and that the cause will be their own pride and the temptations of the devil.  I thought of my my pride and how I often try to do things on my own.  However, Nephi clearly links the pri...

 Good new week.  I love the start of a week, it feels so fresh and open, full of possibilities and potential.  I don't have anything planned until the weekend when we all go north for Crystal's wedding.  Unfortunately I'm starting the week with sore feet and cramps.  My foot has drastically improved and Sunday I barely noticed it.  However, I must have done something or not been careful enough because today it's feeling a bit sore and then my other foot is sore from walking funny.  Then there are those cramps, Sunday morning was worse but they left so soon that I thought it might be an easy day today but alas they have come back.  We were going to go shopping but I guess I'll wait until tomorrow.  We are busy today though I was about to start the laundry but then grandma said she was tired so I turned off the tv and sat at my computer to do this instead.  She is right there asleep on the couch.  We can do laundry when she wakes up....

 If you read the end of last week you would know that conference influenced me to have a good end of the week.  Though not just conference, I did a bit of energy healing on my problem of not going to bed and I feel better about it right now.  So again I'm repeating the exact same thing as last week but this week I'm making it a priority.  I didn't recognize it but I had let these goals slip into less important because I was trying to do other things.  I do really well focusing on one thing at a time.  These goals just have to be first and everything else is subservient.  Here are the goals below.  I'm working on 1-6. 1. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 2. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 3. 10:00 I get off of all electronics. 4. 10:30 I go to bed. 5. I get up at 6 am. 6. I exercise first thing. 7. I do the rest of my morning routine. 8. I add the rest of evening routine. Monday: * I read a few sections in 3 Ne.  After watching conf...
