At this moment I am trying to take control of my morning. I am writing here while planning my day and drinking my coffee. After which I will stretch and do a little bit of exercise before hoping in the shower and getting ready for the day. I got to sleep in this morning which was glorious.
I need to reflect back on yesterday. Yesterday I accomplished more then I normally do, by far. Cleaning the cabinet fronts while hand mopping the floors was much needed. I do still really need to work on organizing though. It is almost a scary task to me because I do not know where to start. Maybe it would be empowering for me to take before and after photos. I think I may try this when my daughter and I get back from our mommy daughter date. If I do so, I will be sure to post them here.
My affirmations need to be said....
Things will turn out well because I am willing, worthy and able. Be patient with yourself as you go on this journey.
I know that I can cope and act as I intend and succeed in building confidence and bettering myself. I will do a good job and today will be a good day.
Also, this evening I will need to reflect on these questions for some self reflection...
I need to ask myself;
What am I grateful for today? Today I am grateful for the wonderful time spent with family, for friends willing to help when I get stuck in the mud. For my husband who forgives me. For good family movies that are still fun to watch. We really enjoyed watching the movie Sing with our youngest daughter tonight. We danced out way out of the theater. I really do not care what the few who were still in there thought because it put a smile on my daughters face. And for the fast food worker (we picked it up for my son on the way home) who made me laugh when I asked a stupid question. I placed the order for my son and he asked, "is there anything else you would like to get?" I said, "Yes do you have water?" He paused and said slowly,"yes." So I ordered two large waters and pulled forward. My husband then proceeded to tell me I should have told him that I wanted H2O and to make sure it was not H1O because that stuff just isn't as good. Anyway, we all had a good laugh over that.
What was I confident in? My ability to make my daughter happy. To enjoy a day in a way she would want to spend it without my own agendas getting in the way. I was confident as a mother and that feels good.
What could I have done differently? I could have not gotten stuck in the mud and completed more of my daily tasks I had lined up for myself. I really want to get the house organized. Perhaps this week I can get to that. I also could have not eaten the ice cream after dinner. But it was date night with our baby girl and as long as it does not become a habit I guess it is okay.
I am off for now to begin my day, drink my KETO, so that my body begins burning fat within an hour, shower and get ready. It will be a good day!
So the day is not quite going as I had planned. Ha ha. My youngest and I went into town, walked around playing Pokemon go as she loves to do. Went out to lunch at the cafe and visited with friends there. Then we decided to go to a movie. So we went home to get dad and make it a parents date with daughter. The boys were down at the river so we decided to drive down to let them know we were leaving. Our yard is quite large and wooded. It is beautiful. But we got stuck in the mud. In our yard. Needless to say the husband was not pleased with me, as I was the one driving ha ha. So after hours of messing with that and getting covered in dirt and mud and with the help of some friends, we are now back at the house safe and sound. We missed the movie we were going to go to. So now we are snuggling up and watching a TV show until the evening showing. That was exhausting! It did add some excitement to the day though and I definitely am counting it as a work out. We dug and pried and pushed for hours. Before the hubby agreed to ask for help. I do not think much more of my to do list will be getting done today!
