Wow!!!!
I have realized a whole lot in these last 2 weeks! I haven't been able to start my exercising due to the fact that I have yet to buy some tennis shoes due to the other fact that I am saving up for said tennis shoes which goes to the fact that it's taking almost three weeks to save up for them due to the fact that we have very little money which goes to the fact that sucks! Granted that is a very long sentence without commas but I don't really care right now. I think it's fun to be rebellious, as much as you can with grammatical errors. Lol.
Anywho! I've decided to write this post in the center because I wanted to try it out.
I seem to be getting these realizations more often now. Now...I just need to act on them. I hate it when I do so well at the beginning and then just start to go downhill. I know it happens to everyone but it's different when it actually starts happening to you personally. I hope that makes sense.
Realization #1: Don't Think So Much!
This one came to me while my husband, Sam, and I were arguing (nicely). I have discovered that recently I'm having the hardest time making decisions and it's usually about minor things like at the grocery store. Or even big things like what I want to do with my life, that I haven't already done/or am doing at the present time. I think to much on it or dwell on it. I need to act! I understand that for certain decisions it's important to think and ponder and pray. However, the things that I have been thinking too much about are things that don't really matter. Clarification, I need to stop thinking too much!
Realization #2: Stop Caring About What Others Think About You!
I care WAY to much about what others think. Even now as I type this blog, I try to edit myself thinking "who is going to read this? I don't want to offend anyone." When in reality, I know others read this, not quite sure how many, but does it really matter? No! It's my blog, I can say what I want and think, but also remembering that this isn't my journal. Lol. Recently, I signed on with a website called Examiner.com where I am an "Examiner" for Food and Drink. (Here is a link if you want to take a look, I've just started so there's only one article so far. http://www.examiner.com/x-56844-Boise-Food-Examiner)I want to write and I guess this is a good start. I write articles that have to do with Food and Drink, sort of like a critic. I like to express my opinions. I believe that I have gotten a little better with that. I also don't enjoy confrontation and I'm not very quick on my feet with words. I think that's why I care so much about what others think. Plus, I am a people pleaser. I want to write, I always have, and I am good at it, therefore I will do it!!!!!
Anyway, I'm just babbling on and on. The point is, is that as cheesy as this sounds, it's okay to dream and work to making your dreams come true. Don't let anyone, including yourself, say you can't do it or that it's impossible! Find inspiration!
Realization #3: Just do it!
Life is too short! I watched a devotional on Sunday about the precious commodity of time by Douglas M. Andrus. It was such an uplifting devotional! He talked about our time here on earth is limited, we all die at some point and it's what we do with our time really shows a lot. He ended with three points that we all need to keep in mind of:
*This is the time to prepare, to perform, and to improve.
*Don't put off important things by saying "sometime" - Do them now.
*President Monson said, "This is our one and only chance at mortal life."
Procrastination is so easy but it is such a bad habit to get into, because it really does affect your life and you as a person. I can say that through personal experience. I hope that when people read my blog that they will take lessons from them and know that it is my opinion and my life, and to edit what I say isn't fair to me or others out there. Who knows what people need to hear if I don't say it at all. Maybe I need to organize my thoughts and challenges into different blogs. That would be quite a bit of blogging. I'll see what I can do. I want this blog to be about my family but it seems to just be what I'm doing...yeah so maybe I do need to create a couple more blogs. I find something.
I would appreciate some feedback or ideas!
