Fight the Frump- Just Pick One Thing

I asked Twitter what to write about today. So many great ideas, and I will go through them as time goes on. But, I need to be kinda boring and nag y'all today. You know how the doctor tells you to sleep enough and drink water?

And what happens? Your eyes glaze over and you start thinking about what you will have for dinner and did you remember to call the preschool to tell them you were gonna be late?

No? Oh, maybe that's just me? Well, just in case you are like me, you need this friendly challenge.

Just pick one thing to do over the next week to take care of yourself. As Moms, we never do. We balance everyone's needs but ignore our own. So, this week, I grant you permission to do something nice for yourself!

Here are some ideas:

1) Take a walk everyday. NOT to 'lose weight' because that is too depressing. Just a walk to get some air and boost your mood. If you have a gaggle of kids, like me, it will tire them out. Hopefully!

2) If you are more Blissful than Domestic like me…don't clean at night, just put your feet up on the couch (with Hubby, if you have one around) and relax. The house will not get any worse over night and at least you had a good time at night.

3) Eat more soup. Because it is soup-er (giggle) filling and you get lots of veggies without having to eat them on purpose.

4) Wear new lipstick. Just because it is fun. Who doesn't love a cute lipstick? Instant lift!

5) Work really hard to have a complaint free week. When I complain and am miserable I make my kids miserable and we get stuck in a cycle of being miserable and it never ends. Only when I make myself stop being negative (because I am the adult, darnnit) can my kids change their attitudes. I am the mirror of the world to them.

6) For those of you who pray, make more time to pray. Seriously, it always makes you feel more centered and happy. And it's really hard to be a jerk when you just confessed your sins. I mean *I* can still be a jerk, so it is possible, but in general 'jerkiness' should be lessened. heh.

What am I doing? I am exercising every-darn-day. Walking, going to the gym and I may even start doing something about this belly 'situation' I have. I have no energy, seriously, zero. I guess working all day, drinking a pot of coffee and watching kids play in the yard from a comfy chair doesn't energize me. Who knew?

So, now you have to tell me what you are going to do this week. C'mon write it here, in the comments. Then next week, you have to tell everyone if you Picked One Thing and did it all week! If you want to grab that graphic to do a "Just Pick one thing" post, feel free! We'll hassle fuss at encourage each other.

Hey, you look more relaxed and happy already! {waggles eyebrows}
