I am reading 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life as part of my goals for 2014 and I'm sharing insights from
each day's readings. If you want to catch up on my progress, read Day 1.
Day 2:
Developing discipline doesn't happen overnight. It is a process. Crystal reminds everyone that in order for the changes to stick, they need to be gradual. This is something that I've learned with losing weight and now need to implement it in other areas of my life.
Practical Application: Choose one simple thing that I can change today, then follow through with this change for a week. It needs to be just one simple thing. I picked cleaning up my kitchen before going to bed. Being I make a lot of our meals from scratch, I usually have a decent pile of dishes at the end of the day. I have always struggled with just doing them instead of sitting and relaxing after dinner. Then I wake up to a dirty kitchen in the morning putting me behind before I've even gotten started with my day. I will say that I have gone to bed with a clean kitchen for the last 4 nights, which I think might just be a record, and I like it. I've also started having one of my older kids help at least once a week. :)
Mega Project Progress: I was able to get 3 more mending projects done, and I threw away 3 projects that, upon further inspection, were beyond repair. My hubby is happy that some of my clutter is starting to disappear. :)
As a busy wife, small business owner, and mother of 4 small children, I develop weekly menus to help keep myself on track. I started this blog as a way to share these menus (and some of my favorite recipes) with other busy cooks. Since my first post it has evolved into a discussion of not only food but other aspects of life. Check out my tips, recipes, and, of course, my weekly menus. I hope they are a help as you manage your own home (and life).
