Blogtober Day 2: Motivated Monday

Leave a comment
Are you wearing your positive pants?

Hi all! Happy Monday! Just like Monday is a state of mind, so is positivity. We all get to choose what our state of mind is when approaching any day or situation.

I deal with situations on most days in which I have to make the decision to put on my positive pants. It really helps the outcome be much better than my brain originally imagined. For example, I work in a pharmacy part-time. There is this one particular patient that is always grumpy and honestly a little nasty. After my first two encounters with him, I decided that I would be over the top nice to him in the future because I didn’t know what he might be going through. The next few times I saw him, I smiled big and very excitedly greeted him, thanked him for his visit, etc. After a few weeks had passed, I saw him exiting the pharmacy as I was enetering, and he smiled at me and waved! It was very touching and made my day!

Is there a specific day of the week or situation you are dealing with that you need to adjust your mindset? Are you choosing to wear your positivity pants today? I would love your input on this topic. How has changing your mindset/state of mind helped change the outcome of a particular situation?

Happy First Day of Fall!

Leave a comment

Good morning! I woke up to 63° weather this morning, so I’m enjoying my coffee outside! It is Florida, though, so it won’t last I’ll enjoy what I can.

I wanted to pop by with a quick update. I know I’ve been MIA. Anyone who knows me knows that I believe the more times you try, the better chance you have to succeed. It’s when you stop trying that you fail. With that said, I did restart healthier eating for weight loss on the 6th and am done 5lbs. I do plan to start posting my habit & goal tracking again soon and plan to participate in Blogtober again this year!

I am as determined as ever to reach my goal no matter how many times I have to try. I do plan to meet my weight goal by the end of 2023, though!

As always, I would love to hear from you! What are you working on? Do you have any end of year goals?

Be Peaceful,

July’s Journey!

Leave a comment

Hi all! I can’t believe it’s July already!

I hope 2023 is treating you all well! For me, it has been good, but very busy. I had to give myself grace in some areas so I didn’t get overwhelmed. Now that things seem like they are settling and I’m feeling more comfortable, it is time to restart my health journey!

Below is a peek at what I’m working on…

I decided to make monthly goals, break those goals into smaller steps, and only plan one week at a time. I can reevaluate each week to see what worked and what didn’t, then readjust accordingly.

How do you goal plan? How do you track your progress? I look forward to hearing from you and sharing July’s Journey with you!

Week 1……10-Week Challenge

Leave a comment

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

For week 1, I have been creating a rough draft of my daily schedule using this template.
Week 2, I will use this template to tweak and fine-tune my schedule.

During Week 2, I will also make 1 blog post and re-start my focus on food tracking & intake, aiming for Blue Dots 5 out of 7 days. Blue Dots are a Weight Watchers thing. You get a Blue Dot for eating in a healthy range.

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?

Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

No Excuse November Day 16: Wellness Wednesday

Leave a comment

Just stopping by to share my Habit Tracker! One more successful week down means one more week closer to my goals!

Habit Tracker Week 2!

A couple of days ago, I mentioned struggling with the time change. It’s dark more than it is light, which makes me sleepy. I restarted taking my vitamin D, and about mid-day I open the blinds; this has really seemed to help. I am not ready for bed at 6:30pm, the last 2 nights LOL. I also order a personal sunlight lamp, which I will start using tomorrow.

I would love to hear about your goals, habits, wellness challanges, wellness vitories, etc….

Be Peaceful,

No Excuse November Day 9: Wellness Wednesday

Leave a comment

What is your game plan to achieve Wellenss? Do you have specific Wellness goals?

In this past week, I shared my plan for No Excuse November in which I am working on specific habits that are steps to my long term goals!

Week one is complete, and I met what I set out to. I struggled a few times with the urge to make excuses for not completing my habits but then reminded myself that this was #NoExcuseNovember.

I am loving the earlier wake-up time! I get about 10 minutes to myself in the morning and am much less rushed!

When we learned about the 8 demisions of Wellness last month, we learned that all aspects of our lives are included in Wellness. Therefore all of our goals are Wellness goals!

I would love to hear what goals or habits you are working on and see how you are tracking.

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,

~Nettie
