Day 16~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something brave.

Mind: Conversation with; co-worker, children, spouse. Pause; think about what you like best about them. Yes I know sometimes that is a big challenge, be brave think positive about them.

Body: Stand tall and straight. Roll your shoulders and breathe deep. Exhale and reach for your toes. Stand up straight and tall find a new way to get your 10-15 or more minutes a day to exercise.  Be brave try something new, take a class, and look at an app for your phone that tracks your walk/bike ride or how much water you have consumed.

Spirit: What has helped you increase your sense of peace and wellbeing? How do you share your faith with others? How do you express your gratitude for all the goodness around you? Be brave find or express your spirituality. 

Take a moment to find some beauty or specialness of nature. This is ice on my car, love the patterns. 

Day 15 ~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something daring.

Mind: Think back to when you were 7 years old, someone asked you, ‘what do you want to-do or be when you grow up?’ Are you living that answer? Yes…good help someone else live/find theirs.

 No… When did that dream change? Can you make it happen? What do you want to be doing in 7 years? What skill can you learn now that will help you get there. Remember to be real…if you are a 50 year old, mom of 11, a dream of being a Chippendales dancer is not very probable. I dare you to dream. 

Body: Walk the long way to the store to buy more vegetables. Cruciferous Vegetables; broccoli, cabbage, kale,  bok choy and tatsoi, all contain nutrients that help protect you from cancer cells. Pick some up for an adventure in the kitchen this weekend. I dare to prevent. 

Spirit: Time to reflect on the week of daring. What things have you done since Saturday that you liked? A few moments and think about the word daring….look it up on Thesaurus.com daring. They have a visual Thesaurus that is crazy fun.  Reflect on the last two weeks…get ready for the next two weeks. I dare you to think. 

This week has been about challenging ourselves to move beyond where we are. To add a new activity, look at situations differently, find simple ways to experience life. 

Day 9 ~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something daring:
Mind: Are you by lingual? nope me either but there are great fee apps and amazing software to help you learn.
Body: this day add more water, drink less soda or coffee. Find an app on your smart phone that will help you track your ounces.
Spirit: Be of service to others. Make a donation to the food bank, help serve a meal at a shelter, find a family that is struggling and put a bag of grocery on the door step. Neighbors yard full of leaves, go rake it up. If you are not able to physical activities then write Christmas card for our service people.
This week we will look for ways to stretch us and move out side the comfort zone. This is about new experiences.
Blessings      

Day 5 ~Triad Challenge

Welcome to something meaningful.
Mind: Play your music very quiet today...listen carefully to the words. Concentrate on hearing the words. did you hear something different?
Body: Replace one soda today with water. Walk the long way around.
Spirit: Be forgiving and compassionate. You do not know the struggles others have. When we make mistakes and ask for forgiveness then give it. Let it go and move on.
Recall what you were taught in kindergarten, be nice, say you are sorry, share and everyone deserves to be loved.
Keeping this one super short: had two challenging appointments, one with an orthopedic for my knee, made it hurt crazy bad, the other was the Adult Committee Meeting for scouts lots of voices, lots of conversations all at the same time...Very hard on the brain...to much to process. Some of the biggest struggles are can not be seen. Be Kind.
Blessings

Day 3 ~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something meaningful: it is Sunday, the day a lot of people connect with religious community and participate in celebrations of faith and family.
Mind: try the crossword or Sudoku puzzle in the paper or pick up a puzzle book at the store when as you buy more vegetables than you did the week before. 
Body: park in the last spot on the row...the farthest from the door.  Drink 2 more glasses of water than you did yesterday.
Spirit: Family is special. We may not always like what they do, how they live the gift of this life. But they were given to you love and honor. As you see these people today think of what your world be without them. For some that may be a joyful thoughts...for most it would be sad...but for all of us our world would be different. The people we call family have a very large impact on us. Without them we would be different, and so would they....how do your family members help you be you...how do you help them be them. For our children how do we help them learn who they are?
Enjoy your family they are yours, given through love and intention.
