Inspiration for the week: Week 24

Sometimes when I sit and think about the changes I want to make in my life and my home and how I want my life to be different and better, it is easy to get overwhelmed and give up and sit on the couch and eat a packet of chips.

But all I have to do is making little changes, every day do something small towards being a better person, living a healthier lifestyle, having a neater home.

I don't need to become a completely different person overnight.

And I think that is the difference between making a quick-fix change for now, and making a lifestyle change for ever.  These changes aren't just about ticking off new-years resolution, but about beinh a happier and healthier person, mentally and physically.

Everyday, if I do something that makes me happy or is work towards my goal, even just one thing ... one small thing, it is progress none the less.

Inspiration for the Week: Week 22

I love this quote so much.

No matter what my personal goal is for the day, week, month ... all I need to work on is being better than I was yesterday.

I am so printing this out and putting it everywhere.

As the end of the month approaches and I note that my house is still not organised and I still don't have a flat stomach and I still binge-eat chips all the time, all I have to so is remember that everyday I am working to being a slightly-better person than I was the day before.

I have started drinking 1 liter of water everyday (from 2 or 3 glasses a week) and I had only 1 glass of fizzy cooldrink the whole week. I have gotten back onto track with my exercise routine with the new crunch-squat challenge, and my aim is to everyday add a few more sets (once I have done it for the day, I am either in the mood to carry on working out or I at least know that I have done the bare-minimum for myself). My kitchen, bathroom and linen cupboard have all been organised.

And in my personal life, I have really been touched by how many people have been thinking and praying for me since the robbery.  Some people who I considered close friends, didn't even bother to ask me how I am. Other people who I didn't expect to hear from have been so kind. Perhaps this is a lesson for me, that I should focus on being a better friend in general.

All in all, I am so glad that I am slowly accomplishing my goals for the year.
