Weekly Review: 12/5/2015

A recurring topic during the '5 AM Miracle' podcast is the idea of a weekly review.  Time where you reflect, check your progress and plan for the next week.  Having a review process in place is not something I have done before and I think this process can help me stay motivate, focus and continue to grow.  These are the areas I want to reflect and focus on this year. 

Fitness

Spiritual

Personal Development

Professional

Personal (relationships/family/friends)

Happiness: Day 1

Monday, December 1, 2015

Last week I stumbled upon a blog post by Hugh McDonald (Hughtheteacher).  He talks about a 100 Day Happiness Challenge one of his friends challenged him to.  I am not sure if I will complete a 100 days, but I know that everyday where I focus on the positives is a day in the right direction.  I had intended to begin this journey last week, but I never scheduled it, so it never happened.  Today is December 1st, so it seems like the perfect time to start a new challenge.  The holiday season is even busier than normal life and it can be easy to overlook the wonderful blessings and sources of happiness in our lives.  Keeping track of the things I have gratitude for and the sources of my happiness are two ways to combat the daily stress of life.


Today I am thankful for my husband.  He is a constant source of encouragement, laughter, information (mostly random and useless), updated weather reports and he continually deals with my sleep derivation crankiness, which I am grateful for everyday

This may be taking the easy way out for day one, but he is a true blessing in my life and someone I need to be more intentional about thanking and being thankful for.  I truly believe we can never tell our loved ones how much we care and love for them too much.  The most important people in our lives need to be told this often.
