Gaining clarity and changing bad habits



     These are my two reason's for wanting more, Raina:7 and Jada:2, I could not breath without these two!  I was told at age 26 by a well heard of fertility expert to quit wasting my money, that I could spend thousands more but would never get pregnant, due to my right ovary being the size of a pea, so I just decided that I wasn't going to go through the heart break, I decided that I was going to live my life the way I wanted to, as wild and as fast as I pleased, there were no kids depending on me, so what if I did shorten my lifespan by my eating and everything in between habits? I had no children that depended on me, or would be lost to a foster home without me, I was extremely young and dumb!
     I have read many things on changing one's habits, I have often thought I am going to do that, I really am! Only to get up later than I should the next day, light a cigerette, crack open a Diet Coke, skip breakfast, and most of the time lunch, then way over eat at night, I am talking about 2 or 3 bowls of cereal at one sitting!
 So this has lead to a very unhealthy me, my blood pressure has been 165/110 way to high, I have felt so bad, get sick all the time, every cold and flu that comes along I get.
     I have been absorbing everything I can on change, getting a direction in your life, gaining clarity, to getting up early, so far I have been very excited about the information that I have found as of late, it seems reasonable, its full of just down to earth common sense, so I have pretty much chosen the one's I am going to try first.
     I have been reading this stuff for years, and the one thing that I run into with just about every author, is WRITING DOWN YOUR GOALS this is something you find in almost every successful, healthy person's life, so I am going to take this one to heart, and just like they all advise, I am going to start out slow.
Just writing a few but important to me goals.
1. I get up early every morning, a set time that is not negotible ever!
2. I write my goals down and repeat them first thing upon rising and right before falling asleep at night.
3. I am focused on one route of making money from home, I focus on my blogs, keeping them in the same theme, and I work on it daily, taking my reader to heart, only producing posts that I feel completely in my heart, helps another person, my readers!
4. I take one hour daily to just learn, learn about blogging, learn about new ways of using ad's or affilate marketing, and I teach myself how to set up the blog, theme, rss feeds, monetizing, etc.....
5. I have a brand new home to do all of this in.
6. I have a brand new car that gets us around.
7 and I have a new cell phone that has amazing service everywhere!

Now the last three are long term goals, that I desperately need, my children need, (you know I could have an emergency leaving that amazing home, in that amazing home, and need my amazing cell phone)
but mainly its because this is new to me, I have never written goals down, so the article that I read said if you can't think of anything, write something, no matter if its I want a new cell phone write something. Then it went on to say that after a while of conditioning yourself to write goals, it would come much easier, so needless to say the list above is very likely to change.
The 1st four are the ones that are the most important to me this time, there's much more I will add as time goes, I need to conquer getting up early, then I will move on to more of my bad habits, like drinking way to much soda, getting way to much caffeine, which also according to the article causes racing thoughts.
     I have always said that I have a touch of ADHD, I can't seem to think on one thing for to long, my thoughts are scattered, I want to improve my clarity, and my direction in life, I am so tired of not knowing what I want to do or where i am headed, you just can't afford to be that way when you have precious children that totally depend on you to provide for them, I refuse to have my children scrapping by or thinking with the mentality that you have to scrap from payday to payday. I want them to know and befriend success, to have what they need and much of what they want, but the change has to start with mom, they need to see it played out in front of them to have some point of reference when they do face struggles, and know that if they are determined enough they can conquer any mountain. The faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain.
     So I ask you the reader to come along on this journey with me, I am sure some post won't be so pleasant, as with change we sometimes get scared, angry even, not wanting to change what we are so comfortable with, the norm as we know it.(which if you know my life you know its no where near normal,lol.)
     Please, Please leave me comments, tell me what you think, tell me anything you know on the subject, tell me anything that has helped you to change the bad habits into great ones, I want any advice you have, I want us to interact as much as possible, the more I know my readers the better content I can give, and I will tell you right up front, I don't keep little secrets, if I find something incredible that helps me to succeed or get ahead in this life, I am more than willing to share and help anyone improve their lives for the better!!
So come on folks, I need some comments and I need some feedback, tell me what I am doing wrong, or what you like, anything you feel I am ready to hear!
