Tomorrow's the beginning

After last night's post, I really decided that it's time to just do it. I think we sometimes get so caught up in our emotions allowing them to guide us, and when we get discouraged, the feelings dictate the failure. I've heard over and over again that we can't live our lives based on our feelings, and I believe it. There is a feeling that really tends to debilitate us, though, and that's the feeling of being overwhelmed, or in over our heads. Once we allow that feeling to take root, it's hard to see anything without viewing it through those lenses.

So I'm back to square one. In the effort to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Sweetie) my old habits good-bye, I am looking at the week ahead. The bottom line for the upcoming sixty day period is to consistently do the right thing. That even means to do the thing that crops up unexpectedly throughout the day, along with the preplanned moments.

I'm not going to get bogged down with details. If I'm supposed to take in five servings of fruits or vegetables tomorrow, I will, even if it means drinking a few V-8's in order to achieve that goal. I already know I'm going to be behind the eight ball tomorrow with regard to the organization of my surroundings. My grandson is a little fussy today, which is precluding me from getting some things done, and I have a job interview tomorrow (wish me luck)!

This blog is supposed to be for the purpose of motivating myself and others. While I want to be "real", I also don't want to go back and read this stuff and walk away discouraged because I only focused on the obstacles.

So...I'm excited! I have lived 43 years in mediocrity, and yes, sometimes failure. It's time to change - to "stop the insanity", a phrase coined by fitness guru, Susan Powter. Even as I go through each day with a determination to do the right thing, I will eagerly anticipate the incredible changes that will happen inside and out as I simply do what I know to be right.

Until Tomorrow~~~Elizabeth
