A NEW MONTH, A NEW ME: I AM DISCIPLINED!

February 3, 2025

January came in like a wrecking ball!

I had all these plans to get disciplined this year and was excited to see my progress for January. But then life threw some curve balls at us and I was BARELY disciplined at all! Everything fell apart. I was starting to get big anxiety because I felt like I was a month behind. Everything bad seemed to be happening.

If you didn't see my last blog, let me catch you up real quick on January:

family member fell and broker her hip - Jan 4th
same family member had surgery on my birthday - Jan 6th
same family member transferred to rehab facility 45 mins away - Jan 8th
travel every day for 9 days straight to see family member
beyond exhausted and trying to hold it all together - huge family meltdown - Jan 12
spent 15 extremely painful hours passing a kidney stone - Jan 18th
grandkids come back home sick - Jan 24th (50/50 custody with their fathers)
I get sick - Jan 27th
my mom and sister come down with COVID. My grandchildren, daughter and myself are negative. - Jan 30th (we all live together)

January's lesson was "how do you stay disciplined when life throws you curve balls?"

So here we are, a new month. New hope, new expectations, new found determination.

I can go into February with new hope that I can be disciplined because I recently saw a quote that really turned my perspective around regarding Janauary. The quote was "what if everything is falling apart to come together in a way you can't even guess?" - author unkown.

1 Corinthians 2:9 immediately came to my mind when I read that quote.

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined,

what God has prepared for those who love him."

So I made my plan for the week: business and personal. I wrote down the habits I want to be disciplined in this week. I am confident I can do it. I will report back next week on how I did. Hopefully the fact that I am documenting my journey throughout this year, through this blog, will hold me more accountable to do what I say I am going to do!

My habits for this week:

read my Bible every day (going through the four gospels)
drink Happy Juice every day
drink my juice shot every day with added oregano oil and black seed oil
drink 40 oz water every day (will eventually increase to 80 oz a day)
do some form of exercise every day (at least 30 mins/day)
do my facial care every night
castro oil pack every night
follow nightly meal plan
weekly fast on Wednesday
stick to budget
read and give feedback in focus group for a dating book I am reading

So there is it. A new month, a new me!
