Amber - Getting Tired

Image
 I'm getting tired of writing in this blog, maybe I'm just tired all together.  I am very behind on everything but I run out of energy far too quickly.  So I am putting my goals down again but I'm not feeling great right now.  However, I'm not changing them because I also feel really good about how they are right now. My room is an electronic-free space Keep my temple covenants so that one day I can share a beautiful relationship with my chosen partner I like staying in the real world because of all of the wonderful real experiences I have in it Below are my goals that will help make this a reality. Make signs of goals and affirmations as needed and display them where I will see. Study extra resources on each of the three sub goals. Work on changing my reactions to triggers. When I feel lonely I pick something from my service list and do it When I have trouble staying in the real world then I work on my current memorizing item When I feel tempted then I call someone ...

Amber - Feeling hopeful

Hello new week!  I love Mondays, it always feels so fresh and hopeful.  I am excited to make progress on these goals this week.  I may have to start going to bed early in order to do it though.  So here are is what I'm aiming for. My room is an electronic-free space Keep my temple covenants so that one day I can share a beautiful relationship with my chosen partner I like staying in the real world because of all of the wonderful real experiences I have in it Below are my goals that will help make this a reality.

Amber - Getting organized properly

 I've got myself more organized now.  I've decided to put at least one thing on my day to do list from my list I made yesterday.  Here are my three aspirations, this is what I want. My room is an electronic-free space Keep my temple covenants so that one day I can share a beautiful relationship with my chosen partner I like staying in the real world because of all of the wonderful real experiences I have in it Below are my goals that will help make those aspirations a reality.

Amber - Start of a new year

 Ok I've reorganized and refocused and come up with a better plan.  If you remember some posts back I mentioned that my main goal was getting back to the temple.  Because it was so personal I wasn't posting all of my goals, well having two sets of goals and only reporting on one has been a little confusing so I'm going to be putting all of my goals on here, slightly edited because I'm not quite that comfortable.  However you are all my family so I'm fine if you know that I'm struggling, well to be honest I don't really care that much if you actually know what I'm struggling with. Anyways I started by figuring out the three biggest things I needed to not do and then I turned them into positives because that is more fun but also because that actually works better.  If you put your thoughts onto what you don't want then it feeds that energy and it becomes more likely to happen.  I'd prefer to starve the negative and spend my time enjoying the positi...

Amber - Last of 2020

 Here is my last post of 2020.  It has been a great year for me in personal growth but as always they keep getting better in some way.  My goals are going to have to change a bit because I am losing right now.  Christmas is over and it will be easier to conquer and change.  I have shortened or eliminated things but I really need to work on my evening again so that will be the focus.  Getting up early after a good rest is key and then have some direction during the day also helps. 1. Set some intentions for the day and visualize.  I'm lumping these together because I'm putting less into them to make it easier.  I just want to start developing a habit, later I'll improve it. 2. 8:30 I say my repentance prayer and get ready for the next day. 3. Bed at 10:00. Monday: * I did read and I liked it but nothing stood out strongly so I don't have a thought. I did nothing this day but that is really because I was still on the old schedule.  I didn't act...

Amber - Christmas: Final week

 Since this week is Christmas I have decided to drop the extras and just do the same goals as I was.  I know I'm definitely insane.  I just haven't the energy to try a new thing and still focus on Christmas.  Here they are: 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. Bed at 10:00. Monday: *  I read a chapter in 2 Nephi about the birth of Christ and his life.  It was very pretty and helped me keep the focus on Christ.  That is the purpose of this holiday in the first place.  I'm so grateful that we have a plan and a way to return from where we came.  I was watching a you...

Week 2 day 1

So this week was better than past weeks, but I certainly did not meet all of my goals. I'll be repeating the same goals as last week, minus paying my tithing since I don't get paid this week. I struggled with remembering to drink my water, night things, and working out. I struggled the most with sugar. It was winter wonderland week at work, and they had treats for us every day and catered meals. I did work out two days, but that was all! Spiritual - Personal prayer morning and night -5 minutes of scripture study in the morning -Pay tithing on Friday -Write in journal in the evening 5 things you are grateful for Emotional/Mental -Morning things (prayer, scripture, teeth, breakfast, shower, makeup) -Night things (pick up, wash face, journal, teeth, pajamas, prayer) -Journal Physical - I weighed myself this morning at 189.8lb. Not much of a change, but something is better than nothing! -Drink 50oz of water a day -Take one pill with a meal -Exercise 3 days a week and stretch for 5 ...
