I Want to Get Better

Good morning.

I don’t know why, but I woke up feeling a bit frazzled in certain areas of my life. Here’s where my head is at …

1. I want to improve my fitness. Jules and I have a great workout routine, but I haven’t been paying much attention to cardio and my diet has been less disciplined than usual. I always have to be careful here because I can get obsessive, but in my heart I know I could be doing better.

2. The podcast. This is the first month that our podcast numbers fell and I know it’s because I am not promoting it and giving it the attention it deserves. This month, I am going to focus on promoting the pod more.

3. Outdoor time. We live right next to a beautiful lake that has a stunning view of the mountains. You would think I would be going on more walks now that I live here, but I’ve been going on fewer. I have to keep my walks a priority.

4. Family time. My dad was in town this week and it made me realize that I haven’t been doing a good enough job of calling my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, and my grandmothers. It’s hard. With the kiddos, the days just fly by.

5. Less coffee. Let’s get something straight. I LOVE coffee. I will never give up coffee. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t party, I don’t drink soda. Coffee is all I have left. BUT, I currently drink 1 1/2 cups in the morning and then another cup in the afternoon. I am going to replace my afternoon coffee with an afternoon green tea. I think that might help my jitters a bit. :)

6. Writing. I simply feel better when I write and read in the morning. Every morning I wake up and INSTANTLY get this rush of adrenaline to get to work. I’m happy because I am so excited about my work right now, but I need time to let my brain calibrate and fill my mind with positivity in the mornings.

That’s all I can think of for now.
