Day 26

I am finished with my 10 things for the day! I seem to get done around the same time no matter how early I try to start. 74 more days to go. That does not seem like too many any more. My 10 things a day feels like it has become a habit now. I am not sure what I will do once I reach my 100 days.

I am still using the computer program for my Spanish. I enjoy it more and it is kind of funny when you get something wrong and they say no and shake their head at you. I feel like I am catching on quicker with the program. I am learning new things on the piano and I am not feeling bored with it anymore. I am still learning algebra and still reading my book. I did some decorating today and I even matched up outfits in my closet and hung matching necklaces and bracelets with them. It makes it easier in the morning when I am feeling pokey. Which is pretty much every morning. I did a lot of organizing today. My kitchen is almost completely done.

When I created this little experiment a month ago I thought I would basically get a little more organized which would take a little stress off and it would help me not feel so overwhelmed since I am not so good at managing my time sometimes and I try to cram too much in and then end up feeling physically miserable and I also thought I would try to do a few things I wanted to do and never stuck with.

For me this has ended up being so much more than that and it has taken me by surprise . Yes, I am getting really organized which definitely has taken away that feeling of being overwhelmed. I have learned it is okay to take small steps and I am finding  that I can reach my goals because I don't get worn out, discouraged, and give up. It is manageable and I can keep going and because I am not burning myself out I am finding I even have time to do other things.

 But to me the biggest thing of all is I don't hear those lies in my head anymore that I have listened to my entire life. When I would get worn out and feel discouraged  I would hear them play over and over in my mind and I would believe them. I would hear you will never make it, don't get your hopes up, don't waste your time you will never be able to do anything else, you will never be able to do this, you are going to turn out just like that, don't count your chicken's before they hatch and many other things I will not write on here. In your heart you know it can't be true because scripture tells us we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, but often there is a war between the heart and the mind and unfortunately things we had heard for so long seem to be etched into our mind. There is power in our words. It is so important that we choose our words carefully.
