Day Five ...Progress And A Book to Share

Taking care of my state of mind has been eye opening for me this week so far.  I am feeling more motivated to do things around the house and even getting on the exercise bandwagon...I wonder if anyone reading this will have the same reaction.  Maybe motivation for exercise is just around the corner for me!

Self help books are so abundant, you can find one for any situation.  Without sounding too cliche, I feel like you have to love yourself before you can make progress on any other problems you are having, whether it be personal relationships, raising children, lack of passion for life or sex, or even losing that last 10 pounds....

I am currently reading "The Kosher Sutra: Eight Sacred Secrets for Reigniting Desire and Restoring Passion for Life" by Shmuley Boteach - click here to go to Amazon to read more: Kosher Sutra  - I am only into the first few chapters and feel like he is talking directly to me as if he is using my family as his example! (I am not Jewish and don't feel you need to be to get a lot out of this book).

1. Clean Carpets!  Oh, I said I wasn't going to say the same thing, didn't I?! 

2. Everyone off to school and work on time and in good moods!

3. Dinner in the crock pot for tonight - beef roast

My Random Act -  not so random maybe - making cookies for the school for an event I won't be attending but they needed volunteers!  Trying to support those moms who are in charge of gathering support!

Meditation -  a few deep breaths at the computer after work really helped focus

Relive a positive experience - Noticing a sign in the grocery store parking lot cart area reminding people to bring in their reusable bags!  Not sure I can take credit for this, but I do participate in a community customer service program for this grocery store company where I take surveys for them at least once a week about various topics.  This one was one of the main topics recently and I was one of the participants who suggested this would be a good way to get people to remember to use their reuseable bags!

Exercise....Doggy walk this am for about 20 minutes - another cold brisk walk!
