Though the first post on this topic, I started this new journey to uplift the BODY, SPIRIT and MIND at the beginning of the year.
Thus far, I have brought several things into my space as I meander down this path of becoming a NEW ME in this NEW YEAR.
UPLIFT THE BODY
I am grateful for a strong support team of likeminded FAMILY MEMBERS, FITBIT FRIENDS, and FELLOW FACEBOOK 70 DAY CHALLENGERS who strive to follow a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE regimen. I interact with one or more of them on a daily basis. This keeps me informed, motivated, inspired and challenged to stay on track in my efforts to UPLIFT THE BODY.
I have a FITBIT and 70 DAY CHALLENGE goal of 10,000 steps daily and, with few exceptions, met and/or exceeded this goal.
UPLIFT THE SPIRIT
To uplift the SPIRIT, I confiscated Hubby’s abandoned and ignored MAN ROOM to create a space, for me, to BE IN STILLNESS and MEDITATE.
In the pre-dawn hours, I retreat to the SERENITY ROOM. It is the place, for me, to build the solid foundation, which always seem to sustain me throughout the day.
UPLIFT THE MIND
Always open to learning something new, I agreed to go to a WATER COLOR PAINTING CLASS with the 25-year-old granddaughter. I enjoyed the quality time spent with my MINI ME, but made the CHOICE to not return for a third class.
I am grateful that the NEW ME felt empowered enough to walk away, without carrying the burden of guilt, to something that no longer served to UPLIFT THE MIND.
However, I plan to keep the two partially-finished pieces as a reminder of a wonderful bonding experience with my MINI ME.
Good for you. You have made so many positive changes and are greeting all those changes with thankfulness. Love it.

I love everything about your “program”, especially the part where you empower yourself to walk away from something that you try and realize it’s just not for you. Wise woman!

Though still a work-in-progress, it’s getting easier everyday to “let go” guiltlessly.

It is so encouraging to read that you are re-inventing yourself for the next part of your journey on God’s green earth. Congratulations on meeting and exceeding your walking goals, as well as allowing yourself to walk away from something that doesn’t fit with the person you are becoming. This was a great post to share today.
