I love the idea of reflecting back on my week each Friday and seeing the positive steps I made towards my life goals and habits I want to develop. Otherwise my life kind of passes by me, in a blur! I also like the idea of Sunday night or Mondays taking some time to remind myself of what my life could look like during the week if I keep it all in balance.
I won’t be “wonder woman” in every area (or maybe ANY area!), but I can at least feel like every week I keep those goals in mind as I make decisions about how to spend my time! When I take my eyes of the goals I can so easily end up spending WAY too much time doing things that aren’t really all that significant to me, throwing my whole week off balance. Seeing my list in the morning REALLY helps me decide what to plan for the day.
As I reflect back on this past week, I feel pretty good about how many of the goals I worked into my week. This month is all about BALANCE. It wasn’t a perfect week, but I was mindful of everything I wanted to do. I even invited people over tonight! We are still in boxes and have no lamps or curtains, but I am striving to be hospitable anyway!
The only one goal I failed miserably at is healthy living — {hangs head}, I didn’t exercise. Gasp. Not once. Unless vacuuming counts? Clearly some attempt at exercise needs to be brought into better balance next week! I feel a lot healthier and more energetic when I exercise, so I am doing myself a disservice by not trying — I need the extra strength and energy! I shouldn’t dread it, I should embrace it! {Right? Self pep talk!}
How about you?
Was your home a beautiful place to be this week– not just on the surface (although that is great too), but in how it feels?
Do you feel like you made positive steps towards the beautiful life you desire? How are you motivating yourself?
