Happy 2012

January 4, 2012 by Juliann Leave a Comment

Happy New Year!  A new year is a fresh start, right?  It is an opportunity for a new beginning.  Maybe I can wipe my slate clean and start over…..and re-set my New Year's goals from last year.  Hopefully I will accomplish them THIS year.  I still need to lose a pound or two.  I still need to get rich!  I still need to get my youngest to stop breastfeeding!  I mean, he IS five years old!  Okay, please try to guess which one of my previous statements that I was only joking about. 

Anyway, I DO have many, many countless things that I hope I can cross of my to-do list!  To make it simple as it can be in my 'hectic' life, I will share with you something that I am trying out which will hopefully keep me motivated.

Each day I will do these 3 things if nothing else:

1. Do at least ONE deep cleaning chore in the house.

This does not take the place of my daily jobs, such as dishes and laundry.  No.  A deep clean involves scrubbing a floor, sanitizing a bathroom or vacuuming under couch cushions.  If I challenge myself to do at least ONE of those chores each day, then after a week, generally the house will be clean and you will not be overwhelmed with housework.  I started  this before Christmas, and by Christmas, my house was looking pretty nice.

 

2. Do at least ONE physical excercise each day.

This can be easy.  I know I need easy, because I am terrible at excercising.  You can challenge yourself to running in place for ten minutes each day.  You can do 20 push-ups.  You can do 20 sit-ups.  Just start with one of these excercises and work your way up.  Do one each day.  After a week. you will at least have done your body some good and burned off a few calories.  I usually do leg lifts in bed to help conquer my mid-section.  That doesn't work for everyone, but hey, it is a start!

 

3. Read something uplifting each day.

Read a passage out of your bible, or even a few paragraphs.  Ponder the meaning and think about how it may apply to your personal life.  Or just read a spiritually uplifting story from a book that relays positive messages.  I like to read at least one article out of a LDS magazine called The Ensign that my sweet Dad has susbscribed me to.  Some stories seem to be tailored just to me.  Reading those gives me the spiritual strength I need each day.

 

I know these 3 tasks may be trivial to most of you ladies, but I truly need to get started somewhere.  I hope I can become motivated to do a lot more in the new year.  I want to turn my blog into something much more than it ever was, as I share more personal experiences instead of just product reviews.

I hope that 2012 will top every year we have ever had!!!!!

 

Happy 2012 to you!
