Create The Life You Crave: Make Conscious Choices

Make Conscious Choices

School started for all my kids today. We are now in two different schools with different start times and there are a lot of new things happening in our family this year. We are having to make choices. And isn't making choices basically what we do with our entire existence? We have to decide when to go to bed, what to eat, what to wear, when to get up, where to live, where to work, to reach out to others, to spend time in devotion to God, to spend time together as a family, to be involved in sports, to watch TV or not and then, what to watch. This list could go on forever.
As you are setting up new schedules and routines for your family, make choices based on what is best for you and your family. Skip what others are doing (unless it is an amazing idea that saves you lots of brain time - never skip those ideas) and stick with what works for you. If something is not working, try something new. Giving up is still a choice and not the best one. Choose to cut out and choose to include and choose what you and your family will do with your lives this school year. Use every season to adjust and reconfigure and make the best choices.
Happy Start of School!

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.
