Ack! I totally missed posting this last week. All the more reason to keep "focus" in the forefront. I have been so distracted and thrown off this week. My husband ended up needing to go in for four nights over the weekend. He's usually an 8-4, M-F sort of guy, so my understanding of the… Continue reading Focus
Tag: Word of the Week
Word of the Week: Persist
Persist is continue firmly or obstinately in an opinion or a course of action in spite of difficulty, opposition, or failure. So maybe starting all over again on these habits isn't so much a failure as an opportunity to practice persistence. An opportunity to get back up, brush myself off, try again. An opportunity to be strong.
Word of the Week: Tenacity
The word for this week is tenacity, which is the ability or quality of having a firm grip on something, being very determined, or continuing to exist. I don't really feel like I've got a grip on anything right now, but I am determined that my work should continue to exist, even if it is being completed a little more slowly than I would prefer.
Word of the Week: Joy
Welcome back! It has been a wild couple of months. But the nationwide closings have offered me one very important thing: TIME. With all our extra curricular cancelled and an end to obligations six (plus) days a week I have stepped back even from my online commitment to rest, really rest and focus on my… Continue reading Word of the Week: Joy
Word of the Week: Blessing
This week I want to focus on acknowledging my blessings. I'm still feeling the stress of all that is happening around us, I'm still running out of patience with some of my blessings, I'm still struggling--just like many of you are. Those are all valid things to be feeling right now, and I am someone… Continue reading Word of the Week: Blessing
Word of the Week: Gratitude
I'm going to launch right into April this week with a month focused on being thankful. I had initially planned to do gratitude in May as a halfway point to Thanksgiving, but right now it feel like I need this particular mindfulness practice right now. My kids are starting their third week at home with… Continue reading Word of the Week: Gratitude
Word of the Week: Prepare
This is not the post I was prepared to be writing this week. I was prepared to focus on celebrating my upcoming birthday, but I feel like I need a new focus now. The last few days have brought many, many, changes to all our lives. Here in Ohio schools are closed for the next… Continue reading Word of the Week: Prepare
Word of the Week: Grow
Growth: as humans we are always changing, but are we growing, maturing, improving? That's really the goal isn't it? As I approach my birthday this year I'm trying to take some time to celebrate all the ways I have grown in the last few years despite all the setbacks my brain wants to focus on.… Continue reading Word of the Week: Grow
Word of the Week: SELF
It’s my birthday month. Which seems like the perfect time to be focused on myself. All my words this month will be looking inward to my self worth, self growth, and inner joys. As I am sure you can imagine, a mom of five doesn’t get a whole lot of time to herself. Although with… Continue reading Word of the Week: SELF
Word of the Week: Heart
My last word for February is heart. And try as I might, my heart just isn't in this one. I'm tired. My husband has the flu. The kids are being wild. The dog is dying. This post is 100% habit because sometimes the motivation just isn't there. And that is ok because it will get… Continue reading Word of the Week: Heart
