Little Changes Making Big Impact In My Life

. Here I am, stuck in the tension of too much information, but wanting to stay informed at the same time

. Here I am, craving slowness and stillness and silence, but also needing to be connected for my career, family life and social life

. Here I am, wanting to fight for injustice I care about while also wanting to protect my own heart

. Here I am, wanting to be the healthiest version of my self, but yet tempted by what is fast and easy and convenient

. Here I am, in the middle, in all areas

. Here I am, wanting, needing, desperately seeking changes

. Here I am.

. I don't have the right answer.

. I don't have the magic formula.

. I can't abandon my responsibilities to do only the things I love all day.

The tension can be overwhelming. The confusion can be daunting. Moral dilemmas, life choices. The desire for change. It's just all too much.

What can I do to make this better? How can I stay sane and focused and helpful?

I think we should start small. I'm starting with the woman in the mirror. We must find ways to initiate change. Start somewhere. So here I am starting small.

. Waking up earlier in the morning than I use to so that I can do so much more in the day

. Meditate and say a prayer when I wake up

. Drinking a hot cup of hot lemonade and honey

. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day

. Exercising for an hour in the day and an hour more to jog

. Cancelling amazon prime

. Reading at least 3 books in a month

. Praying before going to bed

. Diffusing essential oils. I love the scent ocean breeze so much

. Removing clutter anywhere I can

. Taking our dog for walks

. Engaging in conversations about things bigger than me

. Unsubscribing to emails that try to sell me things

. Organizing my closet

. Donating clothes I have not worn in a year to charity

. Selecting one charity to donate money and support their cause

. Volunteering for a cause in the community

. Voicing out my opinion when needed

. Using the stairs instead of the lift

. Extending a small courtesy and watching the effect

. Doing a small change in my routine to make the day exciting

I am starting somewhere.

I am starting small. Starting with baby steps.

Will you?

XOXO,

Karen
