Energy!!!

Energy such an interesting word. Why did I pick this word. I was feeling deflated. I was feeling not there. Things weren't going the way I wanted them to go and I didn't know what I wanted to do... So Energy seemed to feel right. Now I have started a small business and I need to have lots of energy to keep up with my "mom" life, cooking cleaning and driving. Now I also had to add the job of looking for new customers and recruiting!! What ever was I thinking...

I know what I was thinking. I wanted more in life. I wanted to have a life for me. Something outside of being a mom, wife and household organizer. I really love what I do, I love the office job, I love the talking to people. and Yes I have energy for it all. I have no idea where this energy comes from it just comes. I love to do it all and I will  keep on going. If something is missed or late, it's ok There is always another day to get it done! Energy is such a funny word. Sometimes it takes energy to  make energy! Like when you exercise you feel so much more powerful afterwards and you keep going back to get that feeling. That is energy!  The fire that burns and burns, that is energy! The sun glowing that is energy! a body in motion wants to stay in motion! So true and what does it take? Energy!!

Keep your word, reflect on it. Think about it. Don't let it take you over, you make it into what you want. I make mine ENERGY!!!

Living with intention

I have heard/read that if you start your day with an intention things will go smoothly. Well I tried it. for a few days and it went surprisingly well!! I had a day of getting Avon catalogue handed out and that worked. I went beyond my intention. Getting things done, that was a tough one but I got things done.
I find I am one of those people who need eneery to get things done. And most of the time lately I don't have that. That is why Energy is my word for this year. I need to think of not the lack of it but what I do have. And how having energy makes more energy! What I want from my word this year is to be an positive energetic person. It's so much not just a word as it is a way of living!

Energy doesn't always mean dancing when your down, jumping when your tired. It's about living life to the fullest and getting things done! There are days I just want to lay down and sleep the day away! Lately a lot I don't know why but this month has been a sleepy one for me. I am trying to get yoga into my life again and walking so well!  Walking is going well, yoga is about once a week. I also want to stretch my Avon business and I have a few ideas to try. I need to have the energy to be there for my kids.  That is my priority!!

Right now to right this was even a struggle. What do I write? What do I what to protray? I have no idea. I am sitting here typing while I watch my daughter paint a painting on canvas. But at least we are together!!

Energy to be a MOM and Me all at the same time

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed being a mom. Today My daughter cried when she got to school. She just realized she wasn't signed up for art and only taking Violin. I don't want her to hate her violin so this afternoon I went and signed her up for Art classes. She just started the violin after the holidays and now to have her hate it. That is so not a good idea. Man But giving her two things was more than I had planned.
Today I feel like I have no energy. I am not sleeping at well. My husband says I'm snoring but I wake up feeling tired and then feel tired all day. I have no idea what is wrong. Someone suggested I excercise. But I need to have ENGERY to do that and it will give me more ENGERY. See that magical word comes up a lot.
This evening I have to drive my other daughter to her activities. Man I feel like a driver and not myself. This morning, I did spoil myself and went out for Breakfast with my girlfriends. It was soo nice. That is when I felt I was me and not someone else. I got to talk as freely as I wanted.
I did find I really need to find my excercise goal! I need to find the engery to do it.
I hope that with energy feeling the need to go better.

Engergy Art

I have been reading some blogs about word art and how people use it and post it and have it in their living rooms. I think I might like one of these! So I thought why not make one! I'm a digital Scrapbooker So this should come easy to me. I would think. LOL There are lots of great art out there. some are painted some are sketched some are letters put together from magazines! I think this is a great way to be inspired to see your word everyday!
 Yesterday was such a tiring day. I think it was because it was so dark and gloomy outside and we didn't turn on our lights until 3pm but it was miserable.  So I did some scrapbooking. Trying to get some pages done. It felt good. I got one done and a second one started.

I still need to incorporate excerise into my daily life. I havne't figured out how to do this yet. I just have to get out there. easier said then done. Especially when i'm one of these people who really need 9-10 hours of sleep. Getting up early or staying up late to get it done doesn't work for me.

Having Energy... Being Energy... Rubbing Energy

I believe if you are with someone for anytime at all you take some of their aura and they take some of yours. That is how we affect one another. I try to spend my time with someone I know who has the most energy I know of all people. She is single, has 9 international students and babysits 5 others and always has the time to say hello and have a conversation with anyone who walks by. 

I want to have some of what she has. 

I asked her once how she does it. She told me she is up at 5AM every morning. Reads the bible for an hour, excersices for one hour then showers. Then it's time to wake the students and make breakfast for everyone. Including some of the smaller children who come before school starts. 

Heck some mornings I can't drag myself out of bed. I want to grow up to be more like her. 

I started to shower every morning before breakfast. That seems to help. Maybe in a week I can start to wake a bit earlier and meditate before that shower. I bet that would help me to have energy.

Today I started to do the final planning of my DD 9th Birthday. Should be intersting. It's a mystery party. I just need to now start on deciding what the cake will look like. 

Jan 1 2014.  Full of lots of promise and lots of ideas. Where will this year lead me? Where will I go. 

I have lots of ideas, as most people do on this day. I hope too accomplish most. 

I sell Avon and want to achieve leadership by March!! 

I also want to do daily walks

I want to make Pilates a priority and fit it in 3 X weekly!!\

With all this I have a word to come up with to inspire me all year long!! A Single Word!! That can be hard and intimidating. I have found my word

ENERGY!!!!

I think this will fit perfectly into my plan. I want to do everything energetically. Otherwise why bother with it. I want to have energy to be all I can be or just take a rest to re-energize!! What else can I do. 

I thing having the energy by eating healthy and drinking healthy is the way to go. So this is my Word this year. We will see where this word leads me and I hope others will find it interesting this path I will take. !!
