Do you ever have one of those moments where you realize that you are just not the person you used to be? That somewhere along the way you have let things slide, your good habits have disappeared only to be replaced by bad, convenient habits? Do you look back and then look in the mirror and wonder "What the heck happened!?" This morning I had one of those moments. As I was working on my "Organize my Life" Bullet Journal I realized how many things I truly let go over the last 4 years...since becoming a mom. I consider myself very organized but have noticed that I am a little less organized that I would like to be which is causing me to feel very scattered. Before children eating healthy and working out was a way of life and easy to plan. Since becoming a wife having kids and now having 3 additional mouths to feed I find myself flying by the seat of my pants and choosing convenient over nourishing. When you have canned soup 3 nights in a row you know you are getting lazy. I have even noticed that the better part of my 2013 Budget Binder has been left blank. This is incredibly scarey since we had our second child and I am transitioning to working from home full time so that I can keep my kids with me until they head into school with the possibility of homeschooling. Having a successful Direct Sales business and working as an online health coach the money I bring in can change from week to week so it is very important to stay on top of finances...yet I have not. We won't even talk about the appearance of my house...we have been here a year and still have not completely decorated and organized it. It so desperately needs a revamp to boot. Then there is my outward appearance. Since 2008 I have moved 4 times & had 2 kids. During each move I purged the majority of clothes I felt no longer suited me or no longer fit. Since I have either been pregnant or in the process of shedding baby weight, I have no purchased anything new so my wardrobe needs a DESPERATE update. I used to love makeup, doing my hair, my nails were always painted and I LOVED the process of my skin care routine & home pampering. My on a good day I may have lip-gloss & mascara on, I typically let my hair air-dry & toss in a pony tail. My nails...well they tend to look a lot like Lindsey Lohan's used to, chipped and ragged. I am not even really sure what a bath is anymore.
