Amber - Third thing

 Yay I get to add a third thing onto my focus section.  I really like doing my prayers early, it is so much easier because I'm coherent and I can get what I need into it.  It also makes it easier at night, I can crawl into bed without struggling to say a long prayer before.  I also feel better when I plan for the next day.  I don't always follow the plan but it helps in the morning to get going, it also helps during the day if I feel distracted, I can check to see what was important for me yesterday and then decide if I should to that instead or if it can wait. Ok I'm adding the next thing on the list, so here is the list again. 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 and do my morning routine. 6. I add the rest of evening routine. That would mean I get off of electronics at 10:00, however if I do that then I'll probably be going to bed soo...

Amber - Building the Routine

 I am starting this week more positive than last week.  Still no updates on the blog count but I chickened out on sending the text, maybe I'll get that sent this week.  Though I will say that Aubrey said she looked at it but it was from the back end and the blog doesn't count the views unless from the front end.  I did pretty well last week as far as the timing of my first goal.  Now I would like to add to the required things.  Again here is the goal list slightly edited and I'm focusing on 1 and 2, if I can get any of the others done then yay a bonus! 1. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer.  I've mostly stayed steady at 8:30, however the quality of the prayer doesn't always please me so I'm going to try making a prayer outline and seeing if that helps. 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 and do my morning routine. 6. I add the rest of evening routine. Monday: * Tod...

Amber - This is how I am

 I'm disappointed that no one has viewed my posts even though I've asked on Marco Polo at least twice and several of you in person or on the phone yet nothing.  I suppose I've kept it rather casual and encouraging and haven't let you know that I'm getting rather desperate and also starting to feel like no here cares.  I know you are all busy but I also really need some support and help.  I'll try texting you all and see if that helps.  If that doesn't work then I'm going to be making some phone calls.  Like I said I'm getting desperate.  Enough of that now on to the goals!  Here they are, a direct copy from last week. 1. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 2. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 3. 9:30 I get off of all electronics. 4. 10:00 I go to bed. 5. I get up at 6 am and do my morning routine. 6. I add the rest of evening routine. These are in order of importance so I'm still focusing on number one and when I get that consistent this w...

Amber - Help

 Today is my birthday you know.  I've been struggling.  I could use some help over here if any of you ever read this.  Either by joining me here with your own posts or comments or even just letting me know that you read this.  If you missed my last post about this then you should know that I can't see that anyone has viewed the post unless you do it by first viewing the blog.  The view count doesn't go up if you view it from the back end.  You see I need some accountability in order to progress in my goals or at least right now.  So I keep coming back to here because it was working however it isn't so effective when no one sees my posts.  Right now I feel very alone over here so if anyone reads this then please help me. Ok I took a break because I was starting to feel too heavy so here is my plan for the week.  I've added too many goals in the past so I'm back to simplifying it.  I will continue to do scripture study because that I'...

Amber - Keep going

Guys I'm tired right now.  I've had small progress on my weeks here and I'm losing enthusiasm.  I've been able to get good scripture study and I've been able to write here consistently.  Everything else has been so-so.  I don't have the energy to figure out if I should change anything so I'm keeping the same this week. Goals for the week: 1. Good prayers morning, midday, and evening. 2. Morning and evening routines when I can, meaning if my sickness allows. 3. Phone out of the room. 4. Changed my mind I want to focus on less so I'm taking this one off, also because I've completely ignored. 5. Oh also my crafting/sewing/or project stuff. Monday: * I was still depressed so I didn't get anything. I woke up at around 7 but didn't quite get up right away. I had a morning prayer, no midday prayer, also had an evening prayer. Phone wherever today. Stayed up playing on the computer. Tuesday: * I read Alma 39 and I've always liked it.  I've be...

Amber - I can pray

Like I said I'm going to put better focus on the prayer this week.  I'm sick right now as we speak and this makes it super difficult to do my morning and evening routines.  However I can definitely pray so I'm going to do that this week!  Also I did some body code work and discovered that I have excess chemical toxicity from sugar.  Big surprise!  I just recently downed two bags of candy within two days.  Every time I start to feel good then I go and eat excessive sugar and then I get sick.  This time the sick was worse so I've decided I need to get off the sugar.  I'm going to restrict my sugar intake by saying no to all desserts, sugary toppings, and juices for this week and then we will see.  The only exception is the gatorade I'm sipping right now because I'm a little too dehydrated.  Also I'm going to put the family history goal aside this week because I'm getting a little overwhelmed with the amount of goals that I'm failing at....

Amber - Moving on

So I tried the redo week and it was not successful, I'm going to change this week a little.  First and foremost the one thing I did great and have done great for the whole time is my scripture study.  This means I'm moving it off of the 21 days though obviously I'll still be posting my thought.  Also I have been quite failing at not eating after 6 so I think I'm taking that off for now.  Part of the problem has been not eating enough before 6 and the other is that I always want to eat desserts.  I'm going to do a scheduled meal plan thing later but I have some goals I'd like to do first.  So with two goals off of the focused list that leaves me room to add more.  So here are all of the goals for this week. Focus list: 1. Morning and Evening Routines.  I must get these down so they are number one on the list. 2. Phone out of the room.  This one has been a little difficult and I would like to make it less annoying for me.  So I'm going to ...
