Slow and easy start!

Well...I have reached my goals so far today.  My "half hour" work included me doing laundry and making a meal plan and grocery list!  It is only 9 pm and I am barely able to keep my eyes open.  Today was a rough day at work and I have decided to practice my meditation before I go to bed....which is directly after I finish writing!  I think meditation is best practiced in the morning, however, I just could not get up this morning.  I need to remember that at least I am doing it and hopefully some benefits will come of it. 
I bought a cleansing kit at a natural health food store in hopes that it may help me gain my energy back.  I am not sure how these things work...or even if they are safe to use, however, I am going to give it a try anyways and I shall see how long it lasts!  If it makes me feel really awful, I will stop doing it!  It sounds like the first 3 days are the worst so I will just take it easy. 
Okay so I guess I am off to bed now!   I will do my meditation tomorrow morning before I get into the shower so then I am more grounded prior to going to work. 
Signing off and thinking positive thoughts for tomorrow.  Sometimes being positive takes a lot of energy but this is important to me so I am going to try my best!  How do you stay positive?

Here I go again!

Ok...so I realize that I am very random with my posts and have not been using this as frequently as I thought I would.  So, I need to get back to my roots and remember the purpose of this blog.  Basically, I am not truly "happy" and have been feeling extremely unmotivated and confused about my purpose in life.  I originally started off saying that I would have a simple goal that I would like to achieve everyday.  I am realizing I had been setting several goals and that it has been taxing.   My career is currently very stressful and I have been bringing a lot of that stress home.  So, I have decided to start a new system.  I will set a "weekly" goal and post my progress as I am going.  Since stress is playing a bigger role then I would like in my life right now, my goal this week is to practice meditation once daily.  I will be doing the "Chopra 21-day Meditation challenge"  (again!). 

When I am stressed I tend to over think and instead of looking at one task at a time I become overwhelmed with everything I have to do...and as a result...I give up and do nothing at all!  As a result, I continue to fall behind in my career, housework, finances, etc.  So, with that said, this week I am going to set aside a half hour each day to "do something" whether it be sweep the floors, do laundry, finish my thank-you notes from my wedding, do some lesson planning or marking, etc.   I know it is only a half hour but it is more then I have been doing over the last couple of months.  The way I see it, if I make myself do it then at least I have accomplished something...and who knows, maybe I will spend more than half an hour doing it!  Either way, my goal is a half hour each day and I am not going to "beat myself up" if I quit as soon as the clock shows that a half hour is up!

Essentially, my goals this week will allow me to feel more grounded and feel like I am accomplishing something.  There are many more things that I would like to accomplish this week, but I need to start off small or I will become too overwhelmed which will defeat the purpose of this little "project".

Wish me luck!!
