I had an extremely difficult time getting going today. Anorah woke up at 5:30am and my body was not ready for that! I was so tired that I convinced myself that I needed a day off. No getting dressed, no doing the dishes, and no shining the sink.
pI made it through most of the day feeling ok with my decision. When Anorah went down for her 2nd nap I started to hear those pesky voices. They said things like, "You are so lazy.""you deserve to be lazy." And then I started to feel guilty.
It got to the point that there was nothing of interest on the internet and no more TV to be watched. So I decided that I would start a load of laundry. After doing that I thought, "I deserve to bless my home today and my family deserves to live in a blessed home." So I decided to do the dishes and shine my sink. After that I spent some time decluttering the big kitchen counter, and cleaned up Anorah's toys.
When Anorah woke up I realized that I stunk and looked awful. So I took a shower and did my hair and makeup. Right after that I got a call from our good friends interested in an inpromtu get together. I was able to say yes without hesitating! I was dressed and clean and the main areas of my home were also. What a wonderful feeling! And now I'm going to be rewarded by good friends, good conversation, maybe a game, and pizza! What a wonderful surprise!
I've never stuck with any self improvement plan for longer than a few days, I realized I've made it a week. I'm feeling very good about myself and my home. I'm still a work in progress, which is great, and I look forward to continuing my work!
