100 Day Streak - And Other Resolutions

A week or so a go I was reading on a friends blog about a 100 day streak she was challenging herself to complete.  She has set goals (hers are all health related) that she must adhere to for 100 days.  The idea is to make these goals habits.  I latched right on to her idea...I love it.  I have always tried to set goals for myself at the beginning of each year - but have often felt discouraged when I mess up one week into it.  So, with that I have challenged myself to a 100 day streak.  Here is what it will look like....

Melissa's 100 Day Streak

* Study my scriptures for at least 20 minutes each day

* Go out of my way to serve someone each week (for the100 days) 

*Exercise at least 4 times per week for 30 minutes or more

*Eat only one dessert/treat per week (for the 100 days)

* No eating after 9pm

I also have a couple 'themes' that I want to focus on for this year.  Just things I want put a little more time into.  

-Focus on practicing more patience with myself, my children and others.

-Try to see, and make note, of the Lords Tender mercies in my life every day.  

“The Lord's tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ” (David A. Bednar, April 2005 general conference).



Here's to a new year!
