Amber - The first week of Christmas

 The challenge this week will be to see how I do with goals while also doing Christmas.  I guess I've been doing a fair amount already so maybe it will be good.  I am keeping the same goals as last week because I made some progress before Thanksgiving butted in.  Here they are below 1. Set these goals as my intentions for the day and make this part of my morning routine. (in the past this has been an extra thing on top of my routine) 2. Visualize the thing I'm working towards, this is becoming part of my energy work for the day. 3. I exercise at some point in the day, preferably early morning (depends on bedtime). 4. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 5. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 6. I'm putting this one back in because it is so influential. I need to go to bed at 10:00. Monday: * Today I read Ether 15 which is the end of a very sad tale.  Come follow me asks you to look for what happened to the Jaredites.  I noticed that they chose to not li...

Amber - Now is the time

Today I am going to do the same thing with some tweaks. I'm going to be really serious here, I've got to get these things to stick and become habits. So here are the goals below. 1. Set these goals as my intentions for the day and make this part of my morning routine. (in the past this has been an extra thing on top of my routine) 2. Visualize the thing I'm working towards, this is becoming part of my energy work for the day. 3. I exercise at some point in the day, preferably early morning (depends on bedtime). 4. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 5. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. 6. I'm putting this one back in because it is so influential. I need to go to bed at 10:00. Monday: * I've always liked Ether 12, there is so much crammed into one chapter that you could find days worth of thoughts.  I'll just share the first one that came to me.  The chapter is mostly about faith and in verse 4 it gives a nice path.  As part of that it says...

 Hi So I got a promotion at work which is exciting, its going to be very boring but I will work full time and get paid more per hour so it will be a good change. I am going to be loss protection/security. I have been getting up at 4 am and I really like it, it makes the day feel much more productive and I don't have to hurry to finish anything since I have plenty of time. I have had a lot of depressive episodes this week and its taking a pretty big toll on my mental health, but I am doing better than I have been the last month.   I want to work on my fashion portfolio but I have a difficult time pushing myself to work on the projects with so many other things going on so I thought, to give myself some accountability, I would tell you guys when I want to finish a part of the project and then post it with my weekly update. So this weeks project is by next week I want to finish the design board/drawing for a set I am working on. For my goals, I haven't read anything, I pract...

Amber - Yay new week!

 Ok here it goes.  I am starting off very hopeful this week.  I've got great ideas that this will work out for the week.  I'm going to add some energy work on my failure to do the evening prayer because it is pretty important in my plans and seems like the next step to progress to the main goal.  Other than that I'm keeping the goals the same.  I do have plans to clean for Christmas.  There is a fair amount still dirty here and I hope this week to clean a couple more rooms to make it comfortable for people and easy to decorate come after Thanksgiving.  Grandma is also anxious to decorate and we had a joyous time putting up a few Thanksgiving decorations.  So here are the goals as usual. 1. Set intentions for the day, included in prayer. 2. Visualize the thing I'm working towards. 3. I exercise at some point in the day. 4. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 5. I make a plan and prepare for the next day. Monday: * Good morning, I read Ether 6 for...

Alyse-New Update

 Its been awhile, so much has happened. So since I last updated I had just got my membership at the gym and was working on meditation.  I've been working out pretty consistently and can lift 50 more lbs than when I started (lol I know it seems silly but I'm very proud of myself), my goal weight is 125lbs, I am at 142lbs and have lost 23lbs, more than halfway!!!! I haven't been great at eating for my body lately, just been eating what I want at the time but the last couple days I have been much better and plan on continuing.  I've been going to Yoga classes at my gym as well and I love it, definitely recommend.    I've been meditating at least once a day and find that it really helps clear my thoughts and build up newer and and better ones.  I started a savings account finally haha, and have started saving which has brought so much peace to my anxiety. For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with bipolar depression and I am working on getting the right med...

Amber - Break Over

 Hello this is the start of a new week.  I'm getting the Christmas itch really bad but I still intend to do basically the same goals for right now.  I am changing it a little bit.  I am doing my energy healing every day and since my study last week I've decided to add one thing as part of it.  While reading I came across the idea that you need an ideal to work for and then you need to focus on it.  The more you focus and put effort into it then the more successful you are at reaching it.  So as part of my healing I'm going to start the day with visualizing the thing I'm after.  Also I'm going to reorder the goals so that they are in chronological order for the day.  It's been bugging me that the first goal happens at night and later ones happen earlier.  1. Set intentions for the day, included in prayer. 2. Visualize the thing I'm working towards. 3. I exercise at some point in the day. 4. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer. 5. I make a pla...

Amber - This week

Image
 It is a new week and I'm still working on my goals.  Actually it is Wednesday.  I just haven't felt up to posting lately but I did get thoughts and have a done a couple things so I'll put those down here. Monday: * In Proverbs 15:26 it speaks of the difference between the righteous and the wicked.  The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination and the words of the pure are pleasant words.  You can be defined by the things you say and do but also by your thoughts.  They are major contributors in who you become and whether you are counted among the wicked or the righteous. I have completely ignored my goals today, not a one did I do nor did I think about it.  The only thing I did similar was to do energy healing and that is because I am on a schedule and I can't miss a day without crunching things which is not very effective.  So I keep to the schedule. I did a little bit of work on my embroidery.  Also Mom was here so I was pretty busy. Tuesd...
