Getting off the Couch

2012/02/04 Gayle 0

As promised, here is my Saturday update on my quest for average. But first let me inspire you with a commercial that you will see in tomorrows quest for the NFL Title: If that doesn’t inspire you to get off the couch and chase cars, nothing will Now back to me! On the first – I let the day slip away without walking (first day failure). I rallied on day two and scheduled time to walk after lunch. I walked 0.7 miles at a pleasant pace (Jenn and Marshall were kind enough to walk with me). Four months ago this would have been an easy task but it was no piece of cake for my first day. On day three my distance was the same and although I’ll The rest of the story

You are Never a Failure until You Stop Trying

It is hard for me to accept when something doesn’t work. I have an idea and I try to go from idea to reality and it doesn’t work! Soon I am feeling like a failure. It is easy to take a lack of success and label it as failure; when the reality isn’t failure but lack of success. Perhaps you have heard how Thomas Edison unsuccessfully tried over 6ooo times to create a light bulb. On one occasion a young journalist challenged Edison saying to him, “Mr. Edison, why do you keep trying to make light by using electricity when you have failed so many times? Don’t you know that gas lights are with us to stay?” To this Edison replied, “Young man, don’t you realize that I have not failed but have successfully discovered six thousand The rest of the story

Who are You?

Who are you? It is such a difficult question to answer. Am I am parent or a child? Am I a student or a teacher? Am I a friend or a foe? Who am I? Yesterday I attended a funeral service. As I sat in the service I thought about who she was. I thought of all the people in attendance and how she may have touched their lives. Perhaps, the idea of touching each others lives was fresh in my mind because I had the day before read a blog post by Cherry Woodburn ‘Learn About Your Hidden Superpower & Use It For Good’ where she talks about how we influence others in our every day lives. When someone stands before those you have influenced The rest of the story

What are you Doing Today to reach your Goal Tomorrow

I suffer from PROCRASTINATION, in an all caps kinda way. Unfortunately, the busier I am, the less I seem to be productive. Here are 8 of my favorite suggestions on how you can make your day more productive. Daily goals. Without a clear focus, it’s too easy to succumb to distractions. Set targets for each day in advance. Decide what you’ll do; then do it. Worst first. To defeat procrastination learn to tackle your most unpleasant task first thing in the morning instead of delaying it until later in the day. This small victory will set the tone for a very productive day. Peak times. Identify your peak cycles of productivity, and schedule your most important tasks for those times. Work on minor tasks during The rest of the story

Be Smart Implementing New Found Inspiration

2011/06/13 Gayle 0

After yesterdays blog post I was thinking about the things I am more grateful for in my life. So, I started a list. The first thing I wrote on my list was my health. It seemed liked a good place to start; without being healthy many things in life become much more difficult. With my new inspiration, I decided to start some yard tasks I have been avoiding. It felt great to see the progress of my labors and I was proud of my accomplishments at the end of the day. Then, after dinner it started. PAIN! I naturally thought, ‘oops, over did it’ but the pain was relentless. Nothing I could do seemed to relieve it. I considered that it may be a heart The rest of the story
