.becoming active.

 

 

 

The title doesn’t really narrow anything down. I’ve been trying to write this post since December maybe? It has been toiling in my mind. The words spinning into circles not forming anything that made even a tiny bit of sense. I’ve been staring at this cursor blinking at me ever since I changed into my PJ’s after church and sat down at the computer. I’ve been ‘planning’ on becoming more active in all aspects of my life for a few months, but haven’t actual done the ‘active’ part, and it’s about time that that changes.

I’ve sat here tonight and accomplished pretty much everything that was on my plan last week, and wrote my new plan for next week.

I want to be more active in my life. Find and do those things that I love. Start loving my life, but more importantly – start living my life. I’ve lost about 40 pounds in the past year. Yes, that’s a good weight loss. No, it’s not as good as it could have been had I even applied myself with an ounce of the planning and preparing that I do/did.

I want to wake up and be perfect tomorrow but I know that isn’t going to happen – it’s only going to happen after many days, months, and years of applying myself & dedicating myself to myself every minute of everyday.

I want to be active in church, attending every Sunday. Reading and Studying the Gospel everyday – studying for Sunday School and Relief Society so I can get the most out of each lesson.

I want to be active in my neighborhood, serving those around me. Getting to know them – to love them for the people they are. I’ve never really enjoyed service but moving into a very service oriented ward I’m finally getting a thirst for it.

I want to become more active in my life. I want my life to mean something.

I want everyday that I awake to be lived the the best that it can – either doing something that I love and enjoy or helping others do things they love and enjoy.

I commit to become active in my life. Do everything that I can to make each day amazing.
