Wellness Wednesday

So this is the day that I have been the most hesitant about. Like many people out there, I don’t take the best care of myself. I used to be very active and engage in lots of physical activity and self care activities but that all has gone to the wayside over the past 9 years. I recently took the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” training through work and in that training there is a habit devoted to Wellness. I am recommitted to taking better care of myself by exercising, building stronger relationships with family/friends, taking time to recharge and solidify my relationship the my Heavenly Father.

To start off, this past weekend Des and I took the “Parenting with Love and Logic” course again. It was nice to revisit some the techniques that we once used but have since replaced with some of our old habits. It’s nice to be able to focus on helping Ben and Rachel solve their own problems rather then repeatedly “rescuing” them and solving it for them. I know the school uses the Love and Logic principles and I can see that Ben is liking the consistency between home and school.

Next up, I went for a run after work yesterday. I don’t like running very much especially in the cold, but I did it again today and I’m going to try to keep doing it or some other form of exercise every day.

It's just too easy to get off track hey? I too did love and logic, and 1,2,3 magic, and, and, you know what I mean. Now? We don't really use any of them. MAN! What a kick in the butt! Okay, I WILL get back on track! Thanks.
