You just need to have the courage to eliminate everything that doesn’t directly feed what you really want. – James Clear
As a wife, mom, and educational leader, I feel like I need to be “on call” 24/7. It has been really difficult to take the time for myself to work out (1 hour each day), pause to eat mindfully, read, and go to bed early without feeling incredibly guilty. I keep reminding myself that I can only give to others when I am my best self…
01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 7/1000}
This challenge might be tougher than I realized. I did, however, eliminate several pairs of shoes this week (after one shoe broke while I was wearing it — I guess I got my money out of that pair!)
02: Organize the Attic
No trips into the attic this week.
03: Read 100 Books {Status: 2/100}
Reading is part of my daily routine, so I kept this goal. It’s a good one.
