Countdown

Who am I? I'm nobody, really, just someone who has decided to try an experiment for the next 60 days and write about it. My experiment is to consciously, and purposefully do the "right thing". I don't (usually) deliberately do the "wrong" thing, but I am finding myself unhealthy, discouraged, overwhelmed and with a case of the daily blah's.

I began to wonder about two weeks ago how dramatic an impact it would have on my life if I just consistently did what I have been told is "right". Now, right and wrong may get lost in today's murky relativity issues, so for me, I will do what I believe to be right, based on the research I have, and will be looking up. These are things like having five servings of fruits and veggies a day, along with enough water, enough sleep, exercise etc. I also want to create a financial budget and stick with it. I want to be a good friend, donate my time, read to my child for at least 20 minutes a day. Because of my Christian belief, I want to spend each day with a prayer list, praying for my friends and those in need. Cleaning the house...there's got to be a better way! Can I get a witness?

These things I will do for sixty days. While I do believe that my life will change, there is a little voice deep down that is telling me I won't even recognize the old me once I have fulfilled this challenge, this commitment to myself and those around me.

I will give myself a week to prepare for my self-challenge. I will be writing once a day for the six weeks and also for the days leading up to the beginning of this challenge. The first day will be Monday, March 15 (happy birthday to my son, Danny!).

Wish me well, follow the blog if you want, or even better - start your own 60 day commitment along with me! Just ask yourself - what would your life be like if you only did what you knew to be be the right thing?

Until tomorrow~~~ Elizabeth
