Friday Thoughts

What stressful thing has happened to you this week? Are you assigning a negative label to it? Can you find at least five positive things about the situation?

I started reading this book - Klein, Allen (2015-05-14). You Can't Ruin My Day: 52 Wake-Up Calls to Turn Any Situation Around (Kindle Locations 304-305). Cleis Press Start. Kindle Edition. 


I came across this and thought about how useful it could be to think about as I wait to be able to LEAVE! I can't think of at least one stressful event that has happened to me this week- and I am almost positive I didn't stop and look at any positives of the situation.

Had I focused more on positives and the "NOW" I wouldn't have broken down and let it "ruin my day".  Every situation has to have a positive- and if it doesn't at the time- it will at some point.

At some point- something good will happen. Keep your head up- wait for that positive moment and enjoy it.

Setting and sticking to goals

Originally, I started this blog for myself as a new mom- to keep up with things that did and did work and to help other moms that could come across this. 

However, I didn't stick to it. I often find myself setting goals for myself and not sticking to them. Not checking in... Not having accountability partners... Not taking the steps i needed to hold myself to the goals i set. 

So, I am going to place my goals here and check in every Monday. Hopefully this helps me- and you! 

1. Attend church every Sunday. 

- as easy as this sounds. Getting me and baby girl fed and dressed gives me enormous amongst of anxiety. 

2. Practice portion control daily. 

- meal prepping is important for this. So i will also prep atleast my lunches every Sunday. 

3. Read one book a month. 

- wether it is self-help or not does not matter. I want to read and expand my mind. 

4. Have me time at least once a month. On a day baby girl is gone. 

-dinner and a movie will suffice-maybe a massage sometimes too! 

 I have more, but for now I will start small and do what I can to accomplish these!

7 months

Pooping problem fixed- Dr gave her lactulose. 

We do mirlax water and apple juice every morning
