Tuesday Memory Tricks

   Sorry for not posting yesterday. I was sick all weekend. I am back to normal and feel like writing again! I have a hard time finding keys or remembering where I parked.  I figured out if I just make a point to look back and check to see exactly where I parked, it makes it easier for me to remember.  I also try to park beside a light pole or buggy cart.  This technique also helps me remember, especially if there is another vehicle that is just exactly like mine and it is possible. lol! For finding my keys, I usually try to put them in the same place and make that place a consistent place to put them. It is so easy to get distracted and remembering where you put things is difficult sometimes.  If you are like me, you would loose your head if it was not attached.  I am a fairly organized person but remembering something small like your keys is a doozy. I also have a difficult time with locking myself out of my car. Hey. I am sure that I am not the only one that has had to call a tow truck.
     A crafting project that I have been working on lately is labeling things.  Putting my items in certain bins and keeping them there.  I hate to be stressed especially when it only concerns finding a simple stamp for a card or a certain color of yarn for my crochet projects.  I am working on organizing my office drawers so that each item will have its own little place.  This project is not difficult, what is difficult is keeping" that item in its certain little place.  This time I am going to make a point to keep my items in their own little home so I can help my day flow easier.  There is nothing like searching for your glasses when they're setting on your face, but I am sure It has happened to more than one person.  It's kinda of like when the old garmin can't find where you need to go.  A GPS has to have the proper instructions to get you to the right destination.
    One last thing that I am working on concerning organization is a coupon binder.  At first, I tried to organize my coupons like they do on the show, "Extreme Coupons," but I found it a bit difficult and frustrating to carry that huge binder around with me everywhere.  I have found some shortcuts that work better for me.  Just because a certain celebrity says its the best way for them, does not mean you have to do it exactly like that.  Find a way that  is better for you , but stick to it, don't keep changing or you will  end up back in the same boat.  I guess the moral of this story is to keep things in the same place and make a point to keep the item in its happy home.  That is my memory Technique for today. #22qblessed#happyTuesday

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
