Challenges and commitments. I am a big fan of the 30 day challenge. I think it's habit forming, interesting, sort of safe and well, a challenge.
May has been sort of a strange month and I've been waiting to welcome June for the last week or so. With that in mind June is a wonderful time to start a new 30 day challenge. After all, the seasons are changing and I've got work I want to do!
For the next 30 days I'm going to take time to meditate every day. Andy bought me a lovely meditation timer and squishy purple pillow last Christmas that hasn't seen my booty nearly as often as I had planned.
Secondly, I have stacks of books I've been meaning to read. And at the same time I'll be looking to quiet my mind I also want to keep it kicking, so I'll be reading more and spending less time online. I started today with Kris Carr's book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips. I'm half way through as of tonight. Admittedly, I skipped over some of her hospital tips. My interest is of course, in her story but primarily in meditation, prayer, food, lifestyle and general ass kicking powerful big living beauty.
So, what do you have up your sleeve for June?
I hope to continue eating better, already I have lost 3 inches on m waist since I started eating only whole wheat pastas no whites, and my fruit smoothies in the morning and not buying and snacky types of food at all. They are not in my house anymore. When I want salty chips, I reach for a handfull of roasted salted sunflower seeds, etc. This no pressure thing, baby steps is really good for me. I tend to dig my heals in when pushed too hard. I also don't tell myself I cannot have a certain thing to eat, because I want it all the more. Haha! I just make better choices. Went to my brothers grad party (yes he is actually graduating) and I did not have any of the BBQ meat. This has always been a weakness of mine. But I don't feel like I missed out on anything. YAY! 😉 Thanks for being an inspiration for positive change Love!
good for you! baby steps rock!
