A Ten Two-Letter Sentence

Image
Today I want you to live by a 10 two-letter word sentence.   I think that most of us put the responsibility for things on someone else -- a coworker, supervisor, friend, spouse, child, parent.... but just for today live by these words: if it is to be it is up to me. ********** Welcome to Baby Steps Out.  This is a blog dedicated to helping you get out of a bad place by taking small steps.  It offers a challenge that can be done in less than 5 minutes each day.   The  introduction can be found here.

What are you worried about?

Image
Today it's time to throw away (or put in God's hands) one thing you are worried about that you can't do anything about on this very day. If you have anxiety about lots of things, pick one. Then tell God just for today that He can handle it -- or if you don't beleve He exists, simply throw it away for the day. If the thought comes back into your mind, refuse to dwell on it. In fact, pick one positive thing you can replace it with. Get how it goes? Replace the anxiety with a positive thought just for today and see how it goes. ********** Welcome to Baby Steps Out.  This is a blog dedicated to helping you get out of a bad place by taking small steps.  It offers a challenge that can be done in less than 5 minutes each day.   The  introduction can be found here.

Take that first step....

Image
Today is the day to take a first step towards feeling better physically. Make one change in your diet or add even five minutes of exercise to your routine. In my experience, most people who are struggling aren't doing well with this area of life. So, one small change. Drink too much pop? Too much alcohol? Eat too much sugar? Choose one thing to go without today and see if you feel better. Or get moving -- three or four trips up and down the stairs til your heart rate gets up. An endorphin high is a really nice thing -- try to achieve one today! That was day 24. ********** Welcome to Baby Steps Out.  This is a blog dedicated to helping you get out of a bad place by taking small steps.  It offers a challenge that can be done in less than 5 minutes each day.   The  introduction can be found here.

Seeing Progress?

Today we are going to spend a minute thinking about progress over the last 23 days. Think about how you felt 23 days ago. Think about how you feel today. Do you have more hope? More energy? More enthusiasm for life? Or are you still stuck? If you're not seeing an improvement maybe you need to go back through the first 22 challenges and try some of them again. :-) That is Day 23's challenge. ******** Welcome to Baby Steps Out.  This is a blog dedicated to helping you get out of a bad place by taking small steps.  It offers a challenge that can be done in less than 5 minutes each day.   The  introduction can be found here.
