Take Advantage of Tuesday

Hopefully you got some good momentum going for your Monday. I always try to start the week off slow but strong. Many times, however I start off, on Monday, sets the stage for how the week is going to go. It's all about my attitude, what I'm focusing my thoughts on. If I am bending towards the negative it tends to affect my whole week. If I am feeling overwhelmed, it tends to affect my whole week. If I am feeling burnt out, it tends to affect my whole week. If I am feeling offended, it tends to affect my whole week. The list goes on, but you get my drift. Mindset is everything for me. For Tuesday, I feed off the momentum that has started on Monday. On Tuesday, don't let yourself be all over the place, keep up your focus and your momentum. We all know as we inch towards the end of the week we start to taper off. I know I do. My momentum starts to slow around Wed, late afternoon and I start to go downhill with my energy level. My focus gets a little loose. But that's alright because I'm human and that's just how I'm wired. I now embrace it and try to take advantage of when I am strong and have some good momentum and focus, because it will get weaker after a couple days. There are limits to our momentum and our focus, so don't feel bad about it, just take advantage of when you are focused and you do have good momentum. Trust me, it works!!! I use to be hard on myself because I felt like I didn't have the energy to go, go, go like other people that I knew. But now I know that it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with me or even that it is something I need to work on. It just means I'm wired differently and I might need a slower pace, or I might not have as much endurance. But when I embrace this, it empowers me to know that I should go strong when I am strong.

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
