Armed with my {re}organized life schedule, last week, I was like a horse out of the gate. Monday and Tuesday, I did ridiculously well. Ay dios, It felt so good to be done with all things "work" related at a reasonable hour and have time to goof off! Then came Wednesday...ugh...and Thursday was just a mess... *le sigh* I didn't do so well those days with staying on track. I'm telling you the world was against me. I won't even tell you how bad Friday was. I did however, I read my devotional every morning. I ran a few miles, got a little frustration out via kickboxing and honed my inner ballerina with a Barre workout. Went to little one's PTA meeting well prepared. Met with my prima and abuelita to begin planning our 2014 family reunion. While still managing to go to bed relatively on time AND wake up on time all five days. This was totally too much to tackle at once. Time to break this monster remake into mini goals:
- Go to bed on time and wake up on time no matter what.
- Set your to-do list every night for the next day. Do not add anything to this list without removing another item.
- Start each week by writing down the 3 biggest problems that I faced last week. NO NOT PANIC. Pray on it. Remember to trust God. Then let Him work it out.
- Reward yourself every morning with a cup of pumpkin spice Spanish hot cocoa just for being awesome.
What's your forever wish that you're beginning this week? Be it big or small---speak it into existence!

Thanks for the tag Nerline! I'm in.
DeleteCan I just say how much I love #3? Because I love it! I need to do this too.
ReplyDelete*Smiles* I get so flustered at times and I totally panic. Then I have to stop---calm down, give it to God and move on. It's easy to forget that we don't have to do it ALL---and we don't have to deal with it alone.
DeleteThanks for stopping by doll!
# 4 for sure!
ReplyDeleteNo better way to start the day than with your devotional and a cup of rich, thick, chocolatey cocoa! Thanks for stopping by Tomi!
DeleteHi KLP,
ReplyDeleteI love tip number 2. This post was inspiring. Hopefully I will bookmark the sparkling items...I will try.
I think that #2 will be the hardest to do. I'm guilty guilty guilty of adding more to my already full plate then feeling run over by a mack truck after doing it all!
Deletelove this post and the wishes!
ReplyDeleteThanks darling!
DeleteThis is an inspiring post. When I start feeling overwhelmed I just kind of stop in my tracks and focus on the sparkly things to get my mind off the stress...meanwhile I'm getting behind on everything else, then I'm more stressed. Ugh! I need to take a few notes from your book! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that I'm not the only one who loves sparkly things! I think that I'm working on finding a place for them in the grand scheme of my life. Yes, they are important, but totally not more important than spending quality time snuggled with the hubby or drawing a giant family picture in the driveway with my minions.
DeleteI long for the day I am this organized! Not holding my breath though lol.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to checkout evernote, I hear it's quite useful. Will do soon.

Evernote is a pretty nifty tool---especially for a forgetful chica like me.
