This printable is the perfect example of why I love creating printables. I believe in the power of WRITING THINGS DOWN. What I mean by that is, I believe in the power of thinking on paper, writing out your thoughts, goals, dreams. People who do this on a regular basis achieve FAR more than people who do not. I make printables to help people get out of their heads and gain clarity on what it is they want so that they can STOP DRIFTING, WAKE UP, and TAKE ACTION! Can you tell I'm a little passionate here?

This printable is designed to help you check in with yourself, see how you're doing, reconnect with your positive attitude and hash out some stuff you can do next.

POSITIVE SELF CHECK-IN PRINTABLE

I'm doing something fun for you guys. I'm going to gear my blog posts to covering whatever you guys want to learn more about. Here's a little picture I created showing the different things I do to simplify my life. I am ready to write an IN DEPTH blog post on whatever topic that YOU are interested in learning more about.

So leave a comment and tell me what you want to learn! Is it how to have a minimalist wardrobe? More info on building and using a life binder? How to develop routines?

I'll craft a fun and informative blog post with lots of pictures. 

Let me hear from you - comment below.

Breakfast

A homemade popover

Lunch

A cucumber chopped up and sprinkled with rice vinegar

Dinner

I made STUFFED EGGPLANT ROLLS!

Didn't eat alot today, but I find that the more nutritious I eat, the less hungry I am. And I bought local, fresh eggplants, cucumbers, okra, and tomatoes at the market on Tuesday, so my meals have been extra healthy lately.

Plus I just planted a DRAGON FRUIT plant so that I can get more of this yumminess:

Challenge update: Some people have asked me what kind of a diet I'm on, and right now, I'm just focused on eating as healthy as I can. So, if there is a choice between pancakes and bananas, I'll eat the bananas. I haven't been perfect - I've been snacking between meals, but I'm ok with that, because I'm not hung up on perfection, just steady progress.

As far as diets go, I am not into doing something temporary - I'm establishing a life-long way of eating for myself. What I'm moving towards is getting to the point where my meals are pretty minimalistic most of the time. So tonight for dinner, instead of having a plate with 10 different ingredients going on, I just have a bowl of chopped up avocado with a little lemon, salt and pepper. That's it.

And isn't the dragonfruit that I had for breakfast AMAZING! It's my first time eating it. I bought it from a friend who bought it from a lady selling them by the side of the road. They are really hard to grow and the plant only produces one fruit at this one time in the year. That one fruit was $6 and so worth it. It tastes a little like Kiwi but without the bitterness and it has a unique sweetness.

I need to find more...

I need to find a cardio video on youtube that isn't too long or strenuous. Any recommendations?

A Mango

Lunch

Challenge update: My taste for meat is declining. I just treat it as an added flavor now. For instance, I added a little ground beef to my eggplant lasagna. I'm eating alot of mango right now because their in season and TASTE LIKE THE FOOD OF THE GODS.

My exercise routine is non-existent, but by getting my eating habits to another level will definitely help me improve on the next thing.

I stopped by a fruit and vegetable stand and got all these fresh mangos and bananas!

Apple // Meal Bar

Challenge Update:

I haven't made perfect progress, but I can definitely say that knowing that I am doing this challenge and being held accountable to reporting my progress here has helped me be sooooo much more intentional about my eating habits. Usually I head out the door without breakfast, but now I'm getting really good at getting in a smoothie or an apple at least.
