Taking my own Advice

The weekend has been a good time to slow down. In doing so, I realized a few days ago that I needed to remember those little “promises” I made. How did I realize this? With the help of a few blogger friends.
Last Tuesday I posted this on my Facebook Wall:
I will do this today! "Instead of focusing on a to-do list today, create a “to enjoy” list and check those things off instead."
Then come Wednesday, my good friend Heather posted THIS amazing post about making an Enjoy List. She posted it on Facebook too!

After my Friday post, my other good friend Kalli left me this comment.

“so sorry you had a tough week girl!  hang in and yes read some of YOUR posts.....they are very uplifting for sure.”

And that’s when it hit me. HARD! I thought to myself….

“Lindsay, wake up and practice what you preach, take your own advice, switch your FOCUS!”

Okay okay, I hear ya! And I can’t thank these ladies enough for making me realize that this weekend. Today I will remember my PROMISES and start making my ENJOY LIST!

This week I Enjoyed….

I feel as if I could go on forever with this list. All those little things really do add up. I’m sure glad I finally decided to take my own advice, it made for a very ENJOYABLE weekend.

What's the best advice you ever taken? Did you make your enjoy list?
Do it now if not!
Cheers,
