Day 25

I am struggling today because I feel like I am stretched very thin right now. I know it’s going to change soon, so I have to stay focused and positive and just do what I need to do. I went to a really cool seminar today about balancing life and work. The lecture was geared more towards setting goals. It was awesome because this woman, who was really successful and very inspiring, was lecturing on things that my follow through club and I are doing. She was saying that goals are not pass or fail, which I completely agree with. They are important because they help you make decisions that get you further than you want to be. I wish I had the energy to really go into this topic because it was exactly where I am in my life right now. I have known for a long time what I want my life to look like but I’ve put it off because of fear. However, I am now actually doing and not just thinking or talking about it. There is so much power in baby steps.

On an eating note. I had a shit-eating day because I couldn’t resist finger food junk. I blew almost all my weekly points in one day. However, I tracked it! I may have even over estimated. I am not, I repeat, I am not going to beat myself up about it. In fact, I am going to say horray Theresa for still being mindful. I am going to say Horray Theresa for trying everyday to be better.

Tomorrow I am going to body conditioning which is like the hardest class I take. I will also do some reading on my second business. I never mentioned this but I started a small business to supplement my income when I become a full time actress. I’ve been working on it for a year and now I have a lot of paperwork I need to fill out.

This is random but isn't our President just so damn awesome?!

  2. Thanks for sharing what you learned! I have to remember that it's not pass/fail. I'm such a perfectionist that often times I won't try something because I know it won't be perfect, i.e. FAIL! Good for you for tracking! Tracking is hardest when you know the results are going to be, uh, over points. I love our President, too! Brilliant and handsome!!

  3. I like the statement "There is so much power in baby steps." I'm not always so good at acknowledging baby steps in my own life. I always want bigger and better results. But making lots of small changes quickly result in a complete change. Good work Taree!
