Improving Life - Week 1

Week 1 of my life cleanse has gone well. I'm concentrating a lot on how I want life to be and what kind of people I want to surround myself with. Im looking forward to another week of improving how I live. I'm slowly changing the way I eat and emptyig my cupboards of the things I don't want.

I also would like to challenge myself monthly with goals to create new habits. This month is going to be about speaking and sharing. I'd like to be more conscious of the personal things I share with people. I don't believe it's wise to share what's really important to you except with maybe 1 or 2 of your closest companions. Too often we are judged for what we think, say, feel, do etc. I have come to understand that it can do more harm than good to share your deepest thoughts with others. Many people experience similar feelings but the experiences that get us there are usually very different and people generally aren't receptive to other people's experiences.

I'm aware of how negative our language has become, and swearing is now a common part of every day communication.  I'm not particularly ok with this and am going to try to change it on a personal level.

For some side changes, I'm not currently using credit cards because I want to pay off my debt. I also am no longer eating meat unless I know if comes from a reputable amd safe farm where chemicals are not used and they are treated well and living in a natural environment.  Similarly with veggies and fruit I'm going to try organic or chemical free. Id like to be gmo and gluten free while being totally vegan also. This is a work in progress.

Im excited to see how well I can do this month :)

Simplfying Life

What a beautiful day.

Today I have the clarity to write down some goals on what I want my life to look like. I'm very excited to be sharing a new project with my mom. Our goal is to simplify life and live with what we need. No more impulse purchases, buying things that aren't needed etc. I plan to downsize and sell some of the things that aren't serving any purpose in my home, as these things take up space and create clutter. I want to have a simple, easy routine to follow which will make life a lot easier. I don't like coming home to a lot of responsibility, different bank accounts and memberships to websites and stores.....this all creates mind clutter for me, and stresses me out.

I'm very excited to be sharing this project with my mom. It's really great that we can connect and share the experience of improving and simplifying our lives.

On a side note, I have plans to re-do my blog, and simplify that also. I'm excited to get working on these things! After all, most people live a life where they would be happier if many changes were made. So, why not make those changes and live an amazing life? I'm determined and on a mission, life can be amazing all the time!
