Kileys first post

 Just got on here to say- all you are incredible sisters. So thankful to know you all. I only read a few posts but was left feeling inspired by each one of you and your support to one another. 

My goal right now in life: major declutter. 

I’ve started with the kitchen. Working my way upstairs and the last and most challenging will be the basement.  

I am excited.  Baby steps. 

Cameron just took an entire truck load to D.I. Today. I’m still getting over the fact that we didn’t get any pictures of our awesome decluttering.  

I also have some DIY projects up my sleeve but I’m holding off until I declutter a bit more. I will be refinishing a dining room table we just bought off classifieds and painting some furniture we got. 


Right now- my emotional goal has been to FEEL. I have a tendency to completely detach from all of my emotions- especially when life gets hard. I detach so severely that I don’t even realize I’m going through a hard time and then it ends up showing up in overwhelm, anxiety, anger, irritation, frustration or discouragement over mundane tasks.  I am really learning a lot about how to recognizing when I’m detached and how to re-connect with my emotions. It’s been super helpful and although it’s hard to sit with some emotions I’m proud of myself and happy with my progress. 


Spiritual: goal is to listen to a conference talk each day and read scriptures. I need to get back in check with scriptures

Physical: right now I’m not intentionally exercising. I am trying to do my usual: clean eating, whole grains, no wheat or gluten or sugar cane or other more refined and processed sugars. I do honey and pure maple syrup and... zzzzz... I try to eat enough. When I’m busy I tend to not want to eat which definitely affects my mental health- so I’ve got some protein bars and a few snack foods to keep me eating when I’m not feeling up to it. 


Intellectual: right now I am reading a book called the assertiveness guide book for women. I think I said that right. It’s so much more than I thought. I’m learning some good things from it. I read a book a month with my podcast group, in theory. A lot of times I don’t finish the book. But always glean from what I do learn. Lately I’ve been distracted with other books (the minimalist home, for example) that I’m reading on my own time as well.  I love self-help/self-improvement books.


Well- I will probably see you all on here next year. 


Or maybe I’ll be surprised to find myself on here sooner. 


Love you all.  

Ps- typing on my phone and not caring at all about typos or punctuation so excuse my rather rough writing. 😂

Kiley.

    Wow Kiley I am super impressed. A whole truck load to DI, go Kiley! Also how do you type all that on your phone, I would go mad! I like how you've basically just put one goal per area, it looks like a good strategy.

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
