I want to be an 180 pound (or less) financially secure active Christian women with a stable career that inspires good vibes and is stress free. I want to have a clean organized home of essentials only. I want to set daily priorities and cross them off the list by the end of each day. I want to have an active prayer life where I spend quality time in conversation with the Lord. I want to be an avid reader. I want to feel complete even in times when I am physically alone. I want to be in a steady committed relationship that is full of laughter but there is still room for tears together when it is warranted. I want to live a healthy life where I experiment with new vegetarian recipes sporadically but still includes Peanut Butter Snickers Pie from City Works every once in a while. I want to crave physical activity. I will start my day with a 30 minute workout Monday through Friday. I want to complete a Lovely Bodies 90 minute workout on Saturday mornings at least once a month. I want to talk to my counselor, Hope, on a monthly basis, I want to talk to my behavioral therapist, Tara, on a weekly basis, and I am going to add a trauma therapist in on a biweekly basis. I want to live by a daily cleaning routine. Bathrooms are on Mondays. Sundays are to reset for the week.

I have a lot of wants. Wait, are there a lot? Hmmm. They aren’t too much to want. I could want a million dollars too. Well, I do want a million dollars too. What I am trying to say is that I want a lot of things but I do not want too much. All of these things are completely doable. Consistently doable.

I have some very doable wants. I can do all that I want to do, but why don’t I?

XOXO

Lesson: Wants without actions are meaningless.

Question: What am I prepared to do on a daily basis to achieve the life that I want?
