Like I have said before I am very random and this blog will be as well. I’m not sure what my intentions for this post will be just yet but hopefully it’ll make sense towards the end. As I’m laying here getting ready to start my day (yes it’s about 9 am on a Monday but my kids are on spring break 🤗) I start feeling the aches and pains from my actions yesterday. It was a beautiful day, a bit windy but the sun was shining and it felt pretty great. My 2 boys, my husband and I stayed outside most of the day. I live in what is considered “the Hills” in my area and we have 1 neighbor that’s kind of close and a big yard and we share a pond with our neighbors. I worked in my flower beds, my hubs was working on his barn project and my 2 boys spent the majority of the day at the pond! It was very nice, I got my flower beds cleaned out and ready to go. The boys got along great while fishing and made some wonderful memories and the hubs was productive as well.
My muscles are sore from all the bending over and squatting I did yesterday but it feels oddly refreshing. Now I didnt accomplish EVERYTHING I wanted to yesterday but I did accomplish some things. I am in desperate need to lose weight though as I can only fit into a few things anymore. It’s been hard getting motivated this time but these aches and pains may have been just the motivation I needed bc I think I’m finally ready to get started. Although that may be for me to write about on a different day. Right now I think I’m headed in the direction of, things dont always go to plan.
I am a list maker!!! I love to sit down and make my list, organize it then rewrite it sometimes. I love to mark things off my list to feel like I have accomplished so much. I will even write something down that I did extra just so I can mark it out. I usually however end up losing said lists or not going by what’s on them. I am a visual person though so lists do help me when I remember them. I’m starting to learn that it’s not all about the lists. It’s not all about getting the things done. It’s about the memories and being in the moment. For someone like me that’s very hard but I’m starting to get better at it.
Yesterday I had a huge list of what I wanted to do, which included in the house chores and outside chores. I ALMOST made a list of all I wanted to accomplish but then I didn’t!! I decided I wanted to be a rebel and just fly by the seat of my pants. I’m so scattered that I did chores inside and outside. I would start in one place and if it took me somewhere else to which I got distracted and started on another chore then I just went with it. It was hard and I had to keep reminding myself to just BE in the moment. It worked to my surprise. Even though I didn’t get as much done as I had wanted to I didn’t over do it and i enjoyed what i did do.
So as I’m laying here now 30 min later reflecting on what i did or didnt accomplish yesterday and what i need to work on today, I feel good! I feel some what accomplished bc I did something hard for me yesterday and just went with the flow and ENJOYED myself even though I was working on chores. I hope to continue to have days like that. Yes I know they wont always be great and I wont always be able to remember to just go with it. Baby steps right? I will not give up though and I will continue to try to enjoy every day I can and be in the moment. Have a wonderful day, and try yourself to just BE in the moment and ENJOY! Until next time 😘
I apologize if this was confusing or just too random, but that is my Real Life! 😉
