My sisters, Melissa and Jill, and I were talking about how we've all felt a "loss of moxie" lately and while I'm sorry to hear that they feel that way too, I am also very relieved to hear that it's normal and maybe contagious??? ;-)
My inspiring sister, Melissa, posted a really neat accomplishment recently that I'm hoping will help me get recapture my "moxie". She set a 100 Day Goal and stuck to it 100%. I was so impressed! I've never set a 100 Day Goal but she got my wheels turning. Thursday was her birthday and so in honor of Melissa, I started my 100 Day Journey. Want to hear my goals???
1. Exercise 6 days a week. (I'm already on my 6th week of Insanity but this will be a great way to keep me accountable once I'm finished. And, yes I LOVE Insanity! Crazy hard workout but awesome if you like sweat and pain...haha.)
2. Cut back on the Internet. So this one is tougher than I thought. Originally I thought I could allow myself 20 minutes a day but that hasn't worked out. Soooo, I'm working out the kinks on that one.
3. Make a daily to-do list and stick to it. This one has helped me tremendously to stay off the Internet and makes me feel so accomplished by bedtime.
4. Read scriptures daily and have daily morning prayer. I'm usually good on the morning prayer but not as consistent with reading my scriptures. I'm already seeing the blessings from this.
Somehow with all the trials of life I've forgotten how to dream and sometimes how to hope for the best things. While my faith has grown leaps and bounds, my ability to dream for the future and hope for better days has grown very weak. Does that make sense? Sometimes when life beats us down we forget that we can still look up and we can still dream big...maybe that's part of the challenge, if not The Challenge. So I find myself on a journey to discover what my heart wants most...no, it won't be found within my 100 day challenge, but that challenge has really inspired me to take the next step.
Happy Birthday Gorgeous Melissa! You don't look a day over 21!
