A New Journey

It's been a long time since I've posted, but this summer will be different! I am going to be posting about my journey to becoming a highly effective person, through the 7 habits! I will explain more as I go. The first habit is being Proactive! I feel being proactive is looking at the positives and keeping your cool in hard situations. It is knowing that you have control of your thoughts, actions, and responses. I want to be proactive and not reactive. This will be hard, but I am determined to be better! I want to take this journey to be a better wife, teacher, sister, daughter, and just a better person all around.

Day one of my Journey (Today!)

I woke up sick last night. I had a fever and threw up. I hate throwing up! I am a baby when it comes to that. As I was throwing up over the toilet, Coll came in and helped hold my hair. He also went and got me water and helped me get comfortable on the couch. I felt really bad because I was keeping him up, but he was so sweet to help me.

When I first woke up I was so mad! I realized I was being reactive instead of proactive. I find it hard to be proactive when I'm sick, but I know I can! How I am going to be proactive today:

• Watch classic Disney movies to lighten the mood
• Work on anything I can on my computer (lesson plans! This will help me get ahead in the long run, which is another habit, Keeping the End in Mind)
• Be thankful I am not teaching because substitute plans are  pain in the butt!! At least I get to just lay here and not stress about what my students will be doing today.
• I will thank Coll for everything and tell him how much I love him! He is bringing me back a drink and some crackers. I'm glad I have someone who will take care of me!

There are ways to be proactive while sick! I don't think I will be able to be so proactive if I'm sick tomorrow. Being sick on your day of birth is no fun in my book!

More to come on my journey to being the best I can be!
