What would my best self would be? I originally was just going to write a sample list but that would mean I could not do some things so as silly as some of them are...here they are.
Each day my best self...
chooses not to bite my nails. enjoys being single. journals or blogs. reads a little bit of "Eat, Pray, Love". picks up my spaces. spends time being creative. spends time exercising before work. eats healthy food. follows a budget. parks in the furthest parking spot. stays positive. eats meals at real tables! keeps financial and food logs. gets to work by 8:30am. puts myself before work. finishes eating before 7:59pm. eats breakfast. flosses. washes my face...twice. takes a quick walk at lunch. takes my multivitamin. prays.
Each week my best self...
attends church. takes sunday off. calls at least one friend. calls at least one sister. goes out socially at least one night. balances my checkbook. works past dinner only one night. loses a few pounds. files my nails so i won't want to bite them. sleeps in until 10am on Saturday.
At the end of Lent my best self will have...
made and followed a budget. lost 15 pounds. filed my taxes. kept my car clean. finished my card portfolio. organized my life's paperwork.
I think it will take time to remember each thing my best self does everyday but I carry a list with me and I know what the biggest items are to focus on. I figure if I start with the big ones (exercise, healthy eating and a better budget) the smaller ones will fall in time. My main goal is to just keep focused and give myself the opportunity for success instead of talking myself into failure.
