Create The Life You Crave: Get Creative

Get Creative

Sometimes when you experience something new, it can throw you for a loop. When my children first started playing more sports and we would sometimes be gone for several hours over dinner time, it was tricky to figure out how to feed everyone (including those playing the sports) and still make everyone feel full and happy without having to eat out. We didn't do anything life-changing, but for me it was nice to feel like I could pack up dinner and take it with us, no matter what it was and still enjoy the different sports my children wanted to participate in.
My solution was these sectioned plastic containers that are used ONLY during game season and ONLY for eating dinner in the car or on the field. I can pack them up individually and the lids have the names on them and so it is easy to pass the portion made for the 4-year-old to her and not have her brother eat her food and still be hungry. I can put the main dish, sides and/or a dessert. I stack them in a large insulated bag with a handle and wheels, throw a few ice packs in and we're ready for dinner out.

Whatever your new experiences, start thinking of what would make the situation better for you and your family and plan ways to make those things happen. At least most of the time.
What can you be creative with this year and change the feel of an activity that used to bring you dread?

Here is My "WHY"

My reason for starting this blog and organizing my life has two parts: first, time for building and strengthening relationships - with God, with spouse, with children, with neighbors, with friends; and second, time for your vein of creativity.
We all desire a creative, soul-boosting outlet, yet often we get so swallowed up doing what falls in our lap, that we fail to take the time to plan for those things that build and shape who we are and how we influence those around us.

When you have a plan for your life, you get to be in control and create the life you truly crave. When you tell your tasks which days to be done on, you create the life that you want and more easily decide what goals you want to work toward. Find ways to accomplish even the smallest and mundane of tasks without trying to remember or feel guilt when you have a busy day and miss the most important things to you.
