looking for motivation girls/guys!

I have been running all summer trying to keep the kids busy. There is no extra money these days for any sort of fancy camp or anything. And even when my son did so a week long science camp ( half day ) he was looking for something else to do within the same day! I love being off with them for the summer. It is exhausting though to be the cruise director! Thankfully we head to the beach every now and then and the kids have a nice group of friends who call them to play. My daughter started up with her competitive cheer, the kids are getting braces , we are reading to get back in the swing of things for school and well I think I am just tired!! This is no excuse I know!

The water felt great last week when I was drinking so much of it. I drank a decent amount but will drink more when I head upstairs now. I enjoy reading a lot and have two books that are inspirational to me. For some reason I feel as if I don't have enough time to do anything. This is not good and maybe/probably an excuse.

I meditated this morning for only 3 or 4 minutes and I have to say it helped for a pretty long time. I think I am going to try it again one more time this evening. I focused on something that I want more of in my life and just kept repeating the same three sentences. Calming....

I will definatly not exercise today for I am just too exhausted. I am going to head up now, drink some water and read hoping and wishing to calm the inner dialogue :)

I am thankful for so many things. I think I will list them right this very second before signing off:

  • My house
  • My children
  • the food in my refrigerator
  • my mother
  • my creative side
  • the gift to sing
  • God

    Much more but have to run. Hey- it's a start!

      Hi Elisa! Love your blog!! I am in the same boat with not having enough time. I make sure that I don't skip on my eating healthy and exercising because I know if I take good care of me that I will be a better person, wife, and Mom. Sounds like you are doing a great job, don't give up! Great job on meditating!

      I love drinking water, especially ice cold! I feel so good when I drink plenty of it. I sometimes add a wedge of lemon or apple to it.

      Keep up the great work! :)

      Thank you Michelle, I needed to hear this! I will drink water today and meditate. Can't figure what is stopping me from heading back to my walking. It's a weird immaturity thing ...an " I don't have to " kind of attitude. I will adjust it! :)
