Three in Thirty

Week Three Review & Encouragement

Wow!  This month seems to have flown by.  I hope that you’re meeting your February goals with progress! I have accomplished two with ease.  One seems to be way more trouble that I thought.

1) The daily Proverbs has become automatic (yippee!).  I love starting out my day in the Word.  2) I’ve been able to post weekly and participate in blog hops.  I have really enjoyed visiting with everyone.  I always learn something new and fun.  It’s the third goal of getting to bed by 10:30pm that is proving to be quite the challenge.  I have been to bed before midnight only twice so far.  No matter what time I get into bed,  the little wheels in my head just keep turning and turning. I’m not ready to scrap this goal yet, though.

One encouraging quote that I love is from Winston Churchill:

“Success is going from one failure to the next without loosing your enthusiasm.”
Things don’t always work out or go as we had planned.  We make mistakes.  We goof up. We miss the mark.  It’s okay. Keep your enthusiasm. Take a deep breath, smile big, and KEEP TRYING.

  1. AMEN! Love your ending.

  2. I share the same LOVE, starting my day in the Word! Keep working on #2 – maybe try to ease it back by 15 minutes each week, just a suggestion. =)

    Take a deep breath, smile BIG and keep trying…press on!! That IS what’s important. Loved reading your update, thank you. =)

    Keeping it Personal,

  3. do you read in bed?
    I find it really helps me relax 🙂

    keep up the good work

  4. Two out of three is pretty good already. The only way I would get myself to bed that early every night would be to set a series of alarms so I could let myself know every 15 minutes of the last hour how much more time I had.

  5. Hitting 2 out of 3 consistantly is awesome!! Do you have an evening routine? Perhaps that might help?!?

  6. Good job on what’s already been accomplished! As for #3, that is something that will happen with time. I used to stay up until at least 11 pm every night, then up early. It has taken me a year just to work my way to being in bed at 8 pm. Sometimes I lay there until 9 because I can’t go to sleep, but I try to stay still and purposefully quiet my mind with prayer or a book.

    Just wanted to encourage you not to give up on this goal. It’s an important one, and one that I believe you’ll be thankful you stuck to later on, when you’re getting more sleep. 😉

  7. I needed that pep talk!
