I joined The Minimal Mom's membership group because I love Dawn and her family and her videos make me happy. Today I realized that I could share some things I'm doing there and maybe it would help some of you and increase your happiness too.
Today we were to "decide once" on three things (a concept Dawn got from the "Lazy Genius Way" book and that I've been using for many years to make my life (with a host of health challenges) easier).
This list was just what came to mind when I brainstormed after watching Dawn's video this morning. I know there's more. If you want me to keep a running list and do a follow up post with the habits that aren't here, just let me know. They're just in the order that they came to mind, not in the order that they happen.
1) I have the same breakfast every day (kale berry shake in summer; hot blueberry bowl in winter)
2) I have leftovers for lunch (so dinner includes making enough for there to be leftovers)
3) I do my planned Bible reading before I let myself do anything else online
4) I walk outside every day that I'm able
5) I do goal reading before pleasure reading
6) Monday's dinner is usually a simple one-pot meal (soup, stew, chili, curry)
7) I only buy clothing made of natural fabric (except swimsuits, sports wear, etc. where it's not practical)
8) I stopped wearing makeup except for fancy pictures
9) I stopped highlighting my hair
10) My husband cuts my hair
11) I have specific morning and evening routines that I follow, resting as needed for my health
12) I go outside and watch the sunset each night that I'm able
13) I pray, listen to positive things or sing when doing housework (aka "home blessing", thank you FlyLady)
13) As a gift to the Lord, I call someone who is lonely every day that I'm able
14) I do a load of laundry every day that I'm able
15) We change the sheets on Saturdays
16) I write out Christmas cards (a few a day) starting the day after Thanksgiving
17) I spend the last week of the year closing it out and preparing for a great start to the next year.
18) I aim to live in a "beautiful state" (thank you, Tony Robbins!), which is basically an empowered emotional state, zapping myself out of dis-empowering moods as soon as possible after recognizing that I'm in them (I did this before Tony Robbins' beautiful state training but without his 90-second time limit and nice title. The name "beautiful states" resonates with me and helps me get back to a positive place faster).
19) I tithe every month that I have income
20) Bible study and prayer time are my first sit-down activities of the day
21) God is my #1 priority for eternity
22) My husband is my #1 human priority
Thank you for visiting! I hope at least one of these helped or inspired you in some way.
May God bless you!
