So, just in case anyone is noticing- it’s February! Where did January go??!! I feel like I just finished Green Drink Commitments 2012 series and here it is the second month of this opportunistic year!

Just in case you were wanting in on the action- it’s never too late to make a “Commitment”. In my 4th grade classroom, we make and break commitments all of the time. That’s the point. You keep it at the forefront of your day, but if you mess up (or “whoops” as I call it,) there’s tomorrow to start fresh with clarity. The KEY is to remind yourself of your commitment(s) daily so that you are convicted of stagnance or complacency.

My 2012 Commitments Update:

Physical-  Daily “Holy Yoga”– YES- so far I have done well with this. I have had several “whoops” days, but by setting my goal high (6 days a week- rest on Sundays,) I have practiced yoga 4-5 days a week in the last month. I am intentional about this becoming a ritual, not a forced goal.

So, my revised commitment, realistically is that I will practice yoga 4-5 days a week, increasing my stretch each day and learning new poses each week.

Nutritional- Budwig Protocol consistent and increased juicing. – YES and NO- I have done fine with the Cottage Cheese/ Flaxseed Oil (and in fact have increased the frequency to 5 days weekly from 4) but my juicing has been so-so. Last weekend I juiced Cucumber Beet Juice but that’s been the only juicing so far.

So, my revised commitment would be to juice once on the weekends for now, when I have time to clean up!

Educational- Read “Relearning to See: Improve Your Eyesight Naturally!” and apply. YES- and I am loving this book! More on it later as I get better at the techniques is teaches, but I have made this commitment!

Relational- Focus on 1-2 Friends and connect with one friend a week, forgive myself for not writing thank-you notes and calling or emailing instead.  NO and YES on this one. I still struggle with making time for friends, but I have done better. Not sure if I made my once a week quota every week, but I am being intentional about it when I am thinking about this commitment! I am doing a splendid job in thanking people in my prefered way!

Financial- Purchases only from Debit card. Give 10% of my income away. Sorta yes and Big YES. I’ll save you the nitty gritty of my finances, but since we’re the judge on our own commitment, I would vote YES on this one.

Emotional/ Spiritual- Pray for Confidence and Boldness for myself. Relax my guilt. NO and YES. Wow, I actually have been so focused on my physical commitment that this one has evolved without me knowing. I have not prayed for boldness and confidence like I hoped to, but events in my life have occured where I practice them more than ever.

Lately, I have found myself speaking or emailing with others who are newly fighting their cancer with holistic or alternative methods. I must project confidence and boldness when doing this. I am so thankful to have had the experience of beating cancer in the way I did so I can help others doing the same. My prayer lately is to be USED to help and encourage others in their healing journey.

How are you all doing?!! As you can see, sometimes you can only focus on one commitment at a time. Thank goodness we have a whole year for these! Take a minute to jot down how you are doing in the comments section! Keep up with your commitments and you can’t help but see AWESOME change! (:
