Readjust Your Attitude

There is always more we can add to our chore list. It will never be "done" completely because we humans will continue to eat, wear clothes, need food and like pretty things. This is one reason why you need to learn to give yourself a pat on the back and set aside some reward time for you. Every day. Even if you only have a few minutes, there is always something you can squeeze in for you that will readjust your attitude, refocus your priorities and renew your attention for all the other things that matter and you need to take care of.

Several years ago I made a list of things that I liked to do. Making that list and looking at it often for ideas and "permission" to take a break helped me to do things that I really enjoyed more often. Sometimes we go for the easiest break option, which is great. But sometimes we need a little more and having a running list of things that bring you happiness is a great way to get your brain thinking about how you will use those 15 minutes to unwind.
Make a list of activities you enjoy that take anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours and carve out time for those things that you love. Set a timer, enjoy your time and then get back to the things that need your attention.

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.
