Things have been getting so crazy! In my last post I mentioned that my husband and I had decided to move (we were thinking July 7th when our contract ends), and since then he got a job in Utah and is actually starting today! In other words, we are moving a lot sooner than a month from now. In the meantime I've been cleaning and packing like a mad woman so we can get everything done by the end of this week so that when we have a place we can just grab stuff and go.
I was able to have a little bit of fun though and my husband and I went to a family reunion at Lake Powell. It was so much fun and we got to play the whole time swimming, hiking, boating, and all other things water related. It was a much needed break from our everyday stresses and routines. I even learned that I can swim much farther than I realized I could! My whole family thought I was crazy for swimming as far as I did, but I had a blast! Talk about a good workout!
This past couple of weeks as I've been cleaning and packing I've been thinking a lot about how much we as humans tend to hang on to unnecessary junk in our lives. Physical things have been a more prominent thing (I didn't know 2 people could have so much stuff!!!), but as I was thinking about what to post my mind went more towards the unhealthy habits that we just can't seem to let go of. And those could be anything; from the junk food we just can't stop eating to not wanting to get off the couch and get outdoors to shaming our bodies and not appreciating ourselves and the amazing things we can do.
There are so many things we "clutter" our lives and bodies with and it unnecessarily weighs us down from doing what we really want to do. Things become more and more overwhelming and harder and harder to get out of our lives that we sometimes imprison ourselves and preventing our potential to become who we want to be. With this in mind, my challenge this week is to "declutter" your life in one way. It can be within your environment or within yourself, but find one thing that you don't really need and free yourself of that thing. Let me know how it goes in the comments!
