I created a visual list to hang up as a reminder of all the things that I want to accomplish every day. Things that I want to do and need to do, but often forget or that get pushed aside.
My Daily Intentions:
- Begin each morning with hydration & supplements (1 glass of room temperature water + FCLO + probiotic)
- Pray & Praise God before anything else
- Enjoy a green smoothie
- Have a "plan of attack" or list to accomplish, but be okay with altering part or all of it when the kids need you
- Breathe Deeply
- Go outside and play
- Drink the homemade broth, it's good for you
- Leave your cell phone where you can hear it, but you can't see it
- Do 30 minutes of physical activity (whether it's chasing a toddler up the stairs or going to the gym)
- Spend 20 minutes preparing for tomorrow
- Go to bed before midnight. Seriously.
I got this idea from my friend Annette on Instagram. Some are health related, some are spiritual related, other are parenting related. As some become second nature and I think of more, I'll update it.
What things would be on your list? Will you make one and post it somewhere intentional as a reminder?

God bless!
Good list and I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteI need to do this! I have to give some more thought to what I'd put on my list, but I definitely need to spend more time doing daily Bible devotions, going to the gym, and just having the right attitude overall.
ReplyDeleteHello, I just recently started following your blog. I have a question...Are you asking the question above for us to just think about or would you really like us to answer it on a reply. I enjoy your blog and wouldn't mind answering these kinds of questions, but was wondering what you prefer. Thanks and God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to answer!
DeleteI use this blog as a place to share experiences, learn from others with common goals, and establish accountability - for myself and those who read/comment!
Thanks for following!
I love the accountability and having a my day laid out, the high importance first of course. I love the things you have included also!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the visual reminder helps, doesn't it? Great idea, Beth.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know what goes into the smoothie as well as the broth...
Hello, friend!
DeleteI'm planning to post about them after 31 days is finished :)
Then I guess I'll stick around ;)
DeleteI hope you do! I enjoy having you here!
DeleteGreat intentions. I love how breathing deeply is on there. I have a list, some days I get there sometimes I don't. Playing outside with the girls is one of mine that I skip over too often.
ReplyDeleteWonderful list! I could certainly use something like this in my life! And I pretty much could use your exact list plus or minus a few things. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat points. Love the tip about the cell phone and prepping for the next day. I need to do both more often!
ReplyDeleteGreat list....I probably need to do something more than just a check list of have-to's each day.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Just the inspiration I needed!
ReplyDeleteYes! These are so simple and great. Why don't I do them?! I need to pin this on my wall too! (Online and IRL :) )
ReplyDeleteI always make sure that we disconnect with technology when we eat meals. I want to fully engage with my family rather than answer calls or texts.
ReplyDeleteI love that, Tracey! That's a very important one for us as well. Thank you for sharing!
DeleteI was nodding my head with each one! Then I got to the last one and laughed. I tell myself that every night! "Go to bed. No, seriously, go to bed. GO TO BED!!!" LOL!!! Maybe tonight will be the night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to remember to pray and praise God first. It's so easy to get caught up in the business of the day!

Love this Beth! Great how you Layed it all out to hang in your home. It is a great way to make things permanent.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I need to do this!! I have been trying to have a green smoothie daily also. :) just found your series and have enjoyed reading through a lot of your posts!! So glad to see in the comments that you will be sharing about the broth, I am interested to hear about that.
ReplyDeletemy day begins with reading the Bible, Spurgeon and then listen to Michael Youceff and Alistair Begg. Then it's barn chores and hustling into the day.
ReplyDeletemy list hardly ever changes from day to day.
Good list! I find that if I write things down, I get them done. If I don't plan or write it out, it won't get done!

I blogged about it here and linked back. Thanks for the great inspiration!
