I am Home

Hi, all-
Finding a balance in my life will most likely entail alot of time, but I think I'm up for it. D.D.'s message about moving along with purpose and intention in your life hit home with me. This has always been a difficult thing for me to do no matter what the circumstance. I lack perseverance and determination it seems. I find that in most things I attempt I rarely follow through.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, comments or replies.
Still seeking-
Jo

Jo,

I noticed, that like me, you are a Pisces. We tend to go in too many directions at once.

One of the ways to get yourself moving forward with intention is to write down three things that you wish to accomplish. Do not choose more than three or you will become overwhelmed. Then write down for each intention three ways in which you can meet that intention.
example: It is my intention to lose 10 pounds.
OK, how are you going to do so?

It is my intention to eat a well balanced healthy breakfast so I don't get hungry throughout the morning and snack on donuts, etc.

It is my intention to get in 20 minutes worth of aerobic exercise daily (it could simply be taking a brisk walk during your lunch break)

It is my intention to rid the house of all bad snack foods and have only healthy, calorie portioned snacks available.

There - you have a simple plan. It is written down. You can read it daily and decide how to stick to it. See how simple it can be.

So pick three and only three things and set your intention - then set your intentions on how you will accomplish this.

Let me know how you do. When you hit a roadblock - don't be upset with yourself....consider it a detour and get back on track.

I have positive feelings that you will accomplish your intention.

jo... i think we all struggle with this. however, the only way anything gets done is a simple decision. yes, i will. then it takes personal integrity to follow through with what you say. tell others about your decision as though it already is. it assists you in staying accountable for what you say as now, people expect it to be!

at our age, there's not alot of time before we are quite elderly, and do you really want to be sitting there telling your great grandchildren, i wish i had written that novel, i could have run a marathon, i wanted to make a difference... but i just couldn't get it together.

you do not lack motivation. it is in you already. do it or not. write it down, your dreams.... concrete timetable. it is doable! you have everything you need.

so jo, what are you really waiting for? our clocks are ticking! go for it, girl!

So Jo, you have heard from the two Dianas - go forth and be successful at all that you wish to accomplish - you can do whatever you want.
