No Excuse November Day 3: Think about it Thursday

Leave a comment

Today is the day! No Excuse! Just Start!

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. – Theodore Roosevelt

Sometimes, we overcomplicate things which inturn causes us to procrastinate or worse…… Never start! What is something you want to do but have talked yourself out of? What is a small step you can take to just start? Think about it?

I always wanted to blog and/or vlog but would always convince myself not to, or when I did try, I would give up too easily. I finally realized that if it was something I wanted to do, then I should just do it and commit to it. I set a date, came up with a plan, and then just started! I proved to me that I could!

No Excuse November Day 2: Wellness Wednesday

Leave a comment

During Blogtober, we learned about the 8 deminsions of wellness: intellectual, emotional, physical, social, occupational, spiritual, environmental, and financial. We also saw how many of them overlap each other. For No Excuse November, we will share things we are doing or could do to get us towards our wellness goals.

Currently, my main deminsions of focus are intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual. What deminsions are you currently focused on or planning to focus on?

Something I am doing towards my intellectual wellness is my CEs for my pharmacy tech license. I do not currently work in that field; I worked hard for that license and would like to maintain it. Something I look forward to doing is the WordPress courses, to learn how to build this site and grow my audience.

I would love to hear what you are doing to focus on your wellness!

Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 26: Wellness Wednesday

Leave a comment

During the month of October, we are focusing on two deminsions of wellness each wednesday. Last week, we focused on the occupational and spiritual deminsions. Our final week will be environmental and financial.

Enviromental: Your wellness as it relates to natural resources and environmental preservation.

Financial: Knowledge, planning, and managing financies.

I am sure there are lots of things we can do to promote wellness in both of these deminsions. For environmental, we do recycle and make efforts not to waste resources. As far as financial, I believe in budgets and trying to plan ahead for things. I feel like these are probably the two deminsions that I need to put more focus on.

What do you do to support/promote your environmental and financial wellness? What demisions do you think you need to put more focus on?

Be Peaceful,

Coming Soon……….. No Excuse November

Leave a comment

I can’t believe Blogtober is almost over, only one week left! When I decided to participate in Blogtober, I was nervous about keeping up with it. It seemed fun and exciting to make a new post every day, but it also seemed like it might be too much for me. I learned quickly that I could do it as long as I didn’t allow myself to make excuses not to.

Blogtober taught me that I could commit to something as long as I broke it down into small pieces, planned, scheduled time to work on it, and allowed myself No Excuses! This gave me the idea for No Excuse November.

During No Excuse November, I will continue some of my current daily posts, but I will also add some goals and the steps I will take to achieve. One of my goals is to develop better routines and escpecelly for wake up and bedtime. I will provide more detail as we approach November, but here is a sneak peek…….an earlier wake-up time is in my future

I would love to hear your gaols and small steps you can make to achieve them, and please be sure to comment with your favorite daily theme.

Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 25: Tasty Tuesday

Hi all,

As promised on Step It Up Sunday, my favorite meal from the first week of Blue Apron was the Ginger Pork Meatballs. I have included a link to the recipe on their website in the picture caption.

Simple steps we can take while preparing for the week to take it to the next level……..

I recently got an amazing deal to try Blue Apron ($119 off the first 5 boxes plus a $200 gift card that would come before the 3rd box ships). I have always wanted to try Blue Apron, but the price kept me away. This special made it resonable and kept us from eating out because we had special meals to look forward to.

These are the meals we got in our first box; the smaller picture shows what they actually looked like once I prepared them.

I will let you know my favorite on Tasty Tuesday. All three meals really leveled up our week!

Have you ever tried a meal delivery service? If so, which one? Do you feel it helped level up your week?

Blogtober Day 19: Wellness Wednesday

During the month of October, we are focusing on two deminsions of wellness each wednesday. Last week, we focused on the physical and social deminsions. This week will be occupational and spiritual.

Occupational: personal satisfaction in your job/career.

Spiritual: the search for purpose and meaning in life, knowing which resources to use to cope with everyday life, values, and beliefs

For me occupationally I think having work life balance helps me to be a better employee and more satisfied with my job. I think prayer, self reflection, and spending time in nature really help my spiritual wellness.

What about you, what are some things that have, do, or will help you achieve occupational and spiritual wellness?

Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 16: Step It Up Sunday

Simple steps we can take while preparing for the week to take it to the next level……..

I am not a big meal planner or meal prepper. I do like to have an idea of a couple meals I might make through the week but no concret days.

Something I do like to do to step up my week is either buy pre-preped veggies or pre-prep fresh veggies for the week.

Example: I typycally buy frozen tri-pepper and onion mix, large packages of fresh spinach, and zuchinni that I will cut up* so it’ll be ready to use.

What are some smal steps you take to level up your week?

Be Peaceful,
