Day 5 One thing at a time

Multi-tasking is a wonderful thing.... until you multi-task your personal life away. I do it all the time, work on a project while talking on the phone, or half listening to someone while planning the rest of my day in my head. My worst habit is watching TV while someone is talking to me. Yes i admit it, very bad!!



Today's Simple abundance lesson: being present in the moment, and taking one thing at a time.



I know I miss out on wonderful moments by not being present. How can fix this? I guess #1 would be to turn off the TV when my husband wants to have a conversation with me. I am so blessed with a husband who wants to have conversations with me and I waste it. I need to enjoy life and smell the roses, not rush into the next moment.



My promise: I will try to do one thing at a time and live in the moment, and give my loved ones 100% of my attention.



Journey to God lesson: "must sorrow travel with us? Yes, with sorrow you will know true joy"



Wow how powerful is this? I have a lot of sorrow from my past and sorrow in my present. If you didn't have rough times how would you appreciate the wonderful times? I need to remember this when i get my "woe is me" attitude. I have so much disappointment and hurt in my past; wasted time, failed romances, lost friends, and wasted opportunities. I feel these in my core, i grieve and i have let them hold me back and occupy too much time in my thoughts.



My promise: Give my disappointments to God, put them away only to use to realize how wonderful my life is now.



My prayer: Father please take my hand on this journey, guide me, teach me, and please be patient with me as i learn to change and b more like you. Keep me strong when my old ways surface. Please help me leave my past at your feet when i am ready to release it. thank you for the blessings you have bestowed upon me.

Working on positivity- and this has been hard, there is so much negativity especially at work, it is so hard not to jump in the conversation with my own complaints. I will try harder!
