Smell the Roses!

Posted on the 05 March 2012 by Jessicavenoy @lovelyjesscuh
Last week of classes before Spring Break - alright...I can do this! As you know, today is Monday which means it's time for Smell the Roses.
You can find out what it is here if you don't already know :)

Last week's challenge was to think about a goal you've been wanting to meet and to do something toward conquering that goal. This challenge was hard for me because I had so many goals to choose from. I have so many things that I want to accomplish that sometimes I just get overwhelmed. 
I'm learning that taking small steps and taking each day as it comes is the key to not losing my mind though ;) This week I chose to pursue a goal that will eventually help me to reach the rest of my goals. 
My goal was to create a schedule so that I am not behind and always stuck playing catch up when it comes to work and school. That means not sitting on my computer browsing Pinterest/blogs for hours on end ;) I love you guys, but I've got to start being more productive! Ah! This also came with giving myself a...bedtime. Yep. No more staying up until 3 am scrambling to get everything finished! Okay now that it's been set, I actually have to follow through ;) I also cleaned up my desk and organized my cork boards to help with my new scheduling.
FYI: March 5-11 is National Sleep Awareness Week so this goal came at the perfect time.
Now that I've shared my bedtimes on the Internet - you guys have to keep me accountable!
Smell the Roses!

Another goal that I'm pursuing this week is to take more pictures. As a blogger, this is where I struggle the most. I always forget to capture what I'm doing. Maybe it's because I don't do much until the weekend, but still...I'm sure you guys would LOVE to see pictures of me at work and school right?! ;) I'm kidding. But I really am going to start taking more pictures throughout my days.
Did you work toward any goals this week? Grab a button, link up & tell me :)

This week's task: 
Thank 3 people that consistently impact your life in a positive way.
We interact with so many people each day and sometimes we take the people that are by our side through every circumstance for granted. You know the kind of people that I'm talking about. The ones that no matter how many dumb mistakes you've made, they're still there for you. Or the ones that believe in your dreams and goals when everyone else thinks you're crazy. The people that are there no matter what happens in life. Whether it's your parents, your boyfriend/husband, or a friend that has been there for as long as you remember, why don't you find a way to say thank you to them this week? I bet it would make them feel super appreciated :)
Then we can come back next week to link up and brag about the awesome people in our lives...yeah?!
I'm also linking up with Heather from Finding Beauty in the Ordinary for Cup 1/2 Full

Enjoy your Monday :)
