Make a Change Monday - Week 9

Happy Monday!  It has been such a busy day so this post will be short and sweet!

Before the close of 2014, I signed up for a 52 week challenge that was based on making one small change per week to become a happier and healthier person. This is hosted by a "new to me" site I have been following called the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.  Click here to go to their challenge page, and check out their site for some other awesome stuff while you are there. This challenge is based off of the book "52 Small Changes: One Year to a Happier, Healthier You" written by Brett Blumenthal.

This week's change is to enjoy time alone!  This can be so difficult for us mothers as it seems our job never ends! But making time for ourselves is so important so we don't get burned out and grouchy!! Lol  

And let's face it, we really can fit in a half an hour per day for ourselves if we really take time to look over our schedule and think about the time we spend doing things that are not all that important!  Here are a few ways to spend your alone time:

• Reading
• Quiet time with God
• Exercise
• Take a nice walk
• Take a bath
• Sit on the porch and enjoy nature

So this week try to find a way to spend 30 minutes per day ON YOU!!!

So here is a summary of our weekly changes so far:

Week 1 - Drink half of your body weight in ounces everyday.

Week 2 - Get 7-8 hours of GOOD sleep each night.

Week 3 - Implement regular and routine activity into your lifestyle.

Week 4 - Keep a food journal.

Week 5 - Develop an optimistic outlook.

Week 6 - Take a multi-vitamin.

Week 7 - Keep the outside out. 

Week 8 - Eat your veggies.

Week 9 - Enjoy time alone.

By making one small change each week this year, we will be making huge steps towards becoming happier and healthier!

I am still on the search for more stories to share for Transformation Tuesday! If you would like a chance to tell your story, click here to fill out the form. I LOVE seeing all of the inspiration and we have to lift each other up! We are all in this together!

Sending you all love and healthy wishes!

Keep Losing,
