Some of us have resolutions, some have goals, some just have dreams. This time of year a lot of us are trying something new, or even something old for yet another time. You get a few days into things and the new has worn off, you get a phone call about a sick kid or you are sick yourself. How can you keep up your exercising when you can’t stop blowing your nose? Your kid needs you, right? No one else is helping with the organization you just finished, so why bother…
Maybe its time to reevaluate.
Just remember that YOU matter. You didn’t make these promises to yourself so that something can get in your way. you bought new running shoes, organized the pantry, planned out the next month for activities for your goal so that you can see a difference. YOU wanted this for you, your family, someone else? Has that changed? I really doubt it.
So get your big girl panties on and stick with it! You can do this!
I agree, Christi. I do matter and no matter how hard it seems in the beginning, I'm going to do all those things I have on my list that I want to improve about myself or my home or whatever. The first step is the decision to change and then next is getting up and DOING IT.
Something always pops up to throw us off schedule from time to time. We just have to learn to “roll with the punches” as the saying goes. If we're REALLY GOOD, we will have things organized and in order so life in the home will go on, on schedule and in order, the way it should…without us. There will be meals already prepared in the freezer that just need to be tossed in the crock pot. Or a list on the fridge stating the dinner ideas that we have all the ingredients on hand to make… and so on.
I just have to teach myself not to be such a perfectionist. And it's VERY hard so far.
