Don't talk about it, BE about it!

Typical Monday over here! Mondays (for me atleast) tend to be a take care of business day.

Annie's Monday pass on tips:

#1. TO DO lists!!

And I'm not talking about a mental "what do I need to do" kind of thing. I'm talking about a literal piece of good ole notebook paper, hand written list, with a spot to put a check mark when completed. =) I find this works wonders for me. I make mine with 2 columns, NEEDS & TO DO. There is something very fulfilling when I place that check mark next to it. (with a red pen of course) The list also comes in handy when you quickly think of something. If I don't write it down, it can quickly be forgotten.

#2 Expectations are a GOOD thing!

Alot of times people hear the word, "expectation" and instantly feel pressure or scared. It does not have to be like that at all. Expectations hold a person accountable to succeed! (Another feel good when you check it off with your red pen)

This morning I worked on my to do list and made a {hand written} expectation calendar. It looks like a typical page out of a monthly wall calendar. On each day of the month I listed 3 things for me to check off:

1. Water
2. Vitamin
3. Exercise

My #1- Water. I have a cool water jug with this built in straw thingy that holds about a gallon of water. Ever since I bought this jug I am able to drink tons of water, easily!

My #2- Vitamin. This expectation is a recent supplement I purchased. It is called Vitex (Agnus-Castus) chasetree berry. It is an herb to promote female balance and health. Also it is cheap! $3.89 a bottle. I read a great article about it in a magazine and decided to try it!

My #3- Exercise. This expectation is pretty cut and dry. Get off my butt and move! Lol
