I Am Worth It!

I AM Worth It! 

Motivation Monday

This year I am making a number of life style changes

and

I began with this thought.

I am worth it.

I am worth the time it will take.

I am worth the effort.

I am worth the struggle.

I am worth being dedicated.

I am worth it all.

I will be writing a motivational post every Monday.

I currently am working on

Weight loss

Muscle tone

Organization

Improving my art

Growing my business

and most importantly,

Feeding my spirit.

Success!

  On the business realm,

This painting went to its forever home last week.

Thank you so much Meredith.

This painting was part of a 30 paintings in 30 days challenge

I did a year or so ago.

Since I shut down my website and don't have all my work listed anywhere else, yet, 

she had to really search hard to find it.

I am so grateful!

On the weight loss front,

I've been participating in an 8-week online challenge with my daughter-in-law Angela.

The first several weeks we were on vacation and I was not very successful in the weight loss.  I did get my exercise in daily, so that was a plus, but it would have been easy to just chuck it and continue on with my old habits.  

We report our weight loss on Monday morning,

so when I stepped on the scale this morning,

I almost held my breath.

Finally,

a decent weight loss for all my hard work.

4 1/2 lbs gone for a total of 7 so far.

On the organization front,

I laid out a plan for the year of purging

 a different room every month. 

I started with the room that needs the most help

and usually gets the least,

our bedroom.

I went through every drawer, my armoire and my closet

and I purged all sorts of stuff.

I have lots of catch all surfaces in my room,

and they are all clean, 

right now.

I'm working on forming new habits to keep it that way.

I'm telling you all this,

for the one thing that is critical in forming new habits,

and making life style changes is

Accountability!

So now you know!

Post in the comments things you are working on changing.

We'll be your support group.

Check back in next Monday,

for more motivation. 

  

I have added a new tab on my blog on available paintings and I am adding more all the time. 

UPDATE - 2021

I have worked on many of those same goals but 2020 saw me make real headway in most if not all of them.  I have lost 30 pounds over the last year and I'm pretty happy about that.  We've moved so all that downsizing and purging really came in handy.  My home is much smaller and we've gotten rid of loads of "stuff" so things are better on that front as well.  

I've been painting and teaching a lot.  I would love to have you join me.
