Getting back up when things have slipped can be so hard. FlyLady is such an inspiration. Her most loving words, included in every message from her are,

“You are not behind! I don’t want you to try to catch up; I just want you to jump in where we are. O.K.?”

Do you know how wonderful that concept is? If there’s anyone out there who gets overwhelmed, who has suffered from depression, who is a procrastinator…this message can be for you too.

Just jump in. There’s no score card. There’s no grade at the end of the semester that you have to kill yourself to recover. Just jump in. Today. Right now. Right here.

And for those of us who have some “Body Clutter” to lose, the same goes. Waiting until tomorrow to start something good for yourself will never get it accomplished. Whether it’s going to bed right now ’cause it’s late and you need sleep, or whether it’s taking a walk around the block to give your lungs and heart a little bit of exercise, there is no time like the present!!

Just do it! Jump!

I did it!!!

Nothing to say

Yes, I have nothing to say, and yet here I am. This is more a post to see if the “priming the pump” philosophy works… Maybe if I post once it will give me something to post about again later…

Ooh! I know! There’s this cool product we’re testing for work and it’s really kind of fun! It’s called MindManager Pro. Of course, it’s a geeky sort of fun, but, well, you know…

Later.

The power of choice

I was journaling this evening. Furiously. It has been a rough couple of days. Some people in my life have been fighting. I am a peacemaker by nature, but I have done everything in my power to stay out of the fight this time.

It has really hit me hard. I spent the entire day today angry. Part of it is because I am isolated here at home from other adult conversation. The other part is because I felt attacked. I was being included in the fight whether I liked it or not.

So I pouted, and ate, and paced, and all sorts of not-so-healthy things that I seem to do when I’m upset.

So I journaled. That was the first healthy step I took.

Ok, to my point. I realized that as angry as I was, and as victimized as I felt, I was allowing it to happen. I was allowing the “yuck” that these people were flinging, into my home, into my mind and into my heart. That is WRONG.

I was allowing it to happen. I was sitting back, choking down my anger and frustration, and basically abusing myself (the food, the tension, etc.)

No more. I have the power of choice. I have the power to choose peace. I have the power to choose to let God handle their lives, and keep His calm and love and peace in my life.

I so choose.

What else can I not do today?

Ok, I have become the queen of procrastination. I am a reasonably intelligent woman. I have my Bachelors Degree in Accounting. I am capable of doing our taxes.

But I don’t want to.

But neither do I want us to pay over $200 to someone else to do it. It’s not like we’ve lived this overly complicated financial life. Our biggest change is J5.

For two weeks straight I’ve told myself I would just sit down an DO them. Just read through the booklet and put the numbers where they need to be.

And here I sit, blogging about it while the forms sit spread across my desk in front of me. Blog, blog, blog. I am going to put J5 down for his nap, set my timer in true Fly fashion, and work on them for 15 minutes. I can do this.

I really can.

Really.
