Spending Time is Precious #2

I am one of those people who has their finger in so many pies, that even though they know they have no fingers left they will still buy more pies.  Confused? Me too. 

 

This week, I really want to focus on a couple of things and do them well.  I have so much going on and a to-do list as long as my leg.  But I realise nothing will get done if I do not stop buying pies. 

 

 

Quality over quantity.

 

I will be picking three important tasks to start and finish during this week.  One of them will definitely be coursework, another will be to select a book and finish it before moving on to another - I usually read 2/3 books at a time- but I am not sure what the last task will be.  Everything else will have to wait until next week.  It will be interesting to see how swiftly my chosen task get done while I am not directing my attention to anything else.

 

I have also made up my mind to use my phone less this week.  I have deleted a couple of time consuming apps and turned the phone on silent; in the evening I put my calls on divert while I am studying. 

 

So let's see how this goes!  I am actually looking forward to this.  Hopefully in doing less my mind ill be less cluttered and overactive.

 

Any ideas of how I can ensure my attention span does not sway from the tasks at hand?  Any ideas welcome!

Have a wonderful week everyone xxx

 

P.S The pies are cherry flavour.

 

 

Let's have a blessed week!

Happy Monday!!! 

 

 

How is your day going today?  Has anything exciting happened?  What have you achieved? 
As I eat my cheese bagel and read over my email from Inner Space it got me thinking... Are we happy with dissatisfied with circumstances or ourselves?

Last night I took my mind away to a sunny beach, with white sand and palm trees.  College is stressful sometimes and the work load is heavy.  But if I went on holiday wouldn't the stress just be removed temporarily?  Wouldn't it be here when I got back?  So how can it be my circumstances that are the cause of my stress.  Holidays do not cure stress.

This morning's email was entitled 'The Way Things are'.  It asked, after we change things around in our lives, how soon are we discontent again?  The most effective way to conquer discontentment is to start with contentment.  Creating contentment with our current circumstances; the way things are arranged and our routine at this current moment.  Only then can we think about making changes to what we are not happy with. 

So that's what this weeks goal is!

Goal- Becoming content with my current position in life.  Inner satisfaction.

Positive Thought- Being thankful for my current position in life.  I think I will make a list of all the things I am experiencing in my life and why I should be thankful for them.  What do those situations mean? And what new circumstances will follow?


You can sign for a Thought for Today email over at Inner Space.  Their emails are beautiful and really give you food for thought.  I fully recommend!

Have a blessed week everyone. Much love xx Peach.

Let's have a blessed week!

Happy Monday!

Another start to, another week (although, I am sure we are all still in Easter weekend mode).  As I get ready to get stuck into my last few weeks at college.  I'm contemplating how the academic year has gone , and how the next few weeks will pan out.  While this year has been a real learning curve for me, I am really, really looking forward to completing the year (academically).  Access courses are definitely not for the faint-hearted!

With that in mind, here is my goal and positive thought for the week.

Goal- Put 150% effort into the last of my assignments.

Positive thought- Spend ten minutes each morning reciting positive affirmations about the day ahead.  How can I get what I want from my day without putting it to the Universe?  If I don't dictate what I want through words, my subconscious thoughts and reactions will...this may or may not be a good thing.

What is your goal this week?  What thoughts are going to enhance your life while you go about your daily doings?  Let me know how your week goes :)

Lots of love. Peach x
