Clean Slate Monday: A Fresh New Start!

REFLECTIONS: It's Clean Slate Monday! What does that mean?  That means that anything that once may have been a truth, as near as yesterday, is erased today.  It's a fresh start.  It's an opportunity to live life by design.  It's an opportunity to say "I am going to do things differently today and the past is irrelevant".  It's a hopeful place!  I've even decided to "clear the slate" mid week, and even mid day at times... but Monday is the most instinctual place for me to take a do-over!

I haven't been the nicest, mom/wife over the past few days.  Super grouchy.  I'm not taking my supplements, my sleep patterns are off, I'm not eating terribly but my diet is lacking lots of greens, and I'm literally flying by the seat of my pants.  This week I'm going to focus on getting back on track, and getting to a place where I feel good about the person I am and where the people around me feel loved and cared for.

Things I will do differently this week: 
Create and follow a schedule
Be prepared for the day, before my family wakes up
Take all of my supplements
Focus on 4 meals, 100 grams of protein and lots of nutrition veggies
Exercise daily
Do fun (hopefully free) activities with my daughter while my son is at school
Get out and do 2 things for myself that are fulfilling spiritually and emotionally

GRATITUDES:

-I am so grateful that the sun rises and we can begin again
-I am so grateful for spiritual teachings and perspective
-I am so grateful for amazon and grocery delivery- two modern day conveniences that I'm super dependent upon
-I am so grateful for my friends who are so incredibly supportive
-I am so grateful for the TONS of fun things that I get to do in life!
-I am so grateful for the inspiration and good feelings this song give me: Brand New Day
