Just One Thing.... not a resolution
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am having a hard time with my mojo - or lack of it! It is taking longer than usual to get back in the game... but I decided a long time ago to keep HOPE in my life. Without HOPE, this is a lonely journey! And some things in life - you decide.
like happiness
like cynicism
like hope
Bad things happen to everyone. And, actually, I do okay with bad things. bad things allow me to pull myself up and overcome. i get to put on my superhero cape and rise above.
But good things - while nice - allow me to become complacent.
And dull.... day to day... is deadly to my spirit.
So I have to keep faith in tomorrow and I need to build my own spirit.
In that vein, I propose to live intentionally in 2014. I propose to move forward in my life with whatever grace and light I can muster. Which means - I must have a plan!
It cannot be lengthy and involved.. I don't have the energy for that.
It cannot depend on others.... I don't have the faith for that.
It cannot be rigid or too difficult of a change.... I don't have whatever that requires :-)
So - like the healthy habits I tried to create a few years ago, I decided that no matter how I feel on any given day or how busy I am, I can ALWAYS do "just one thing". The JUST ONE THING motto for the year was born...
I chose a few areas - maybe too many - we will see as time goes on.... but a few areas that are important to me and I want to move forward in. The final vision requires more from me than I have to give...
but JUST ONE THING?
I can do that.
The areas??
Just 1 thing to simplify my life - bring my life toward focus
Just 1 thing to increase healthy movement
Just 1 thing to increase healthy eating
Just 1 thing to improve my finances
Just 1 thing to connect to others
and.....
Just 1 thing to make me smile
Can I do JUST 1 THING in each area each day?
Can you?
the adventure begins..... 2014
