This week has been good. I didn't exercise (formally). I haven't logged on mfp. I've barely thought about diet and fitness and such. So, how can that be good?
I've been busy schooling my children and it's been a treat. Not because it's been easy. Not because we've had great attitudes the whole time. (mine included) But, because I've focused on this as the THING that needs to be important and nothing else. I've allowed myself to do one thing well, and..well, I'm doing it. :)
I'm allowing myself to still sleep in in the mornings. I'm working on being more cheerful when greeted with the morning crabbies. We're getting started when we get started and just focusing in the learning and not the clock. I've seen some great improvements in relationships with my older children. I'm still working on how to include and handle the younger ones and find that balance, though.
I've also begun a new course of morning and evening devotions. That has been amazing and transforming, to say the least.
This doesn't have anything to do with health, you say? Oh, in every way it does. The stress and emotional strain I battle with relationships is directly tied to my eating, exercise, sleeping, and activity habits and triggers. I'm thankful for a week of getting myself on track in the areas that matter most.
Tracy all of it sounds so wonderful!!! I am so thrilled to see such a delightful post from you. Being full filled and happy has everything to do with health in my opinion!
