One
One week in of this intentional living even though I took a few days to actually write it, speak it and accept it as my challenge and now I know. I already can see why. Because as I have leaned into this new word and allowed it to penetrate my thoughts and my actions, I am seeing all that is so unintentional.
Unintentional because I have permitted the day to get away from me. I am no longer blaming anyone or thing other than myself. Not the kids, not phone calls or too much on my plate because really, it is MY plate. Excuses can most certainly be made. The true issue is and I will admit here that I get distracted, even procrastinate. ugh.
I waste time..........time I could be intentional and on purpose and make that moment mean something.
Life will happen, days get undone by a mere phone call, a hurt child, or a headache. I know this. Change is simply inevitable and I choose to accept it, roll with it and perhaps welcome it......... I am learning that when I am making that choice. I am being intentional. And that is where the growth sparks inside of me.
So yes, I am in training. And it is hard work battling against the excuses and the truth really that I still need to learn.
One week of intentional and seeing all that is unintentional could well, be decidedly discouraging.
I am just choosing for it not to be.
