“March Madness” has begun at my school. If anyone has had children in public schools under “No Child Left Behind,” then you know what I mean: STANDARDIZED TESTING! And the crunch to prepare 25 children to show what they learned throughout 8 months of a school year- on ONE test.

“No Child Left Behind”  could have also been named “No Teacher Left Behind,” because that’s how I feel today. BE-HIND…and overwhelmed.

Yesterday afternoon I realized it was time to change the month on my board today- I have a laminated “MARCH” with a smiley and rainbow coming off of it into a pot of gold- which also has a smiley face on it. I wish March made me feel smiley! I really will write about my commitments today…eventually.

So it is time for my March Commitment Reflection:

Physical- Daily “Holy Yoga”– Last month I did decently with this, but have become much better at telling myself “I will exercise for 15 minutes!” Most days I go longer. Some days I have been just putting on my shoes and running like Forrest. I have been “getting in” Holy Yoga when I can, but the key is making sure my daughter is in bed on time. I miss her while being at work all day…and it doesn’t always happen. <sigh>

Nutritional- Budwig Protocol consistent and increased juicing. – Juicing? CHECK, Once a week like my commitment said. Budwig? CHECK! (:

Educational- Read “Relearning to See: Improve Your Eyesight Naturally!” and apply.  Continuing to love “Relearning to See” and wear my glasses less which has been liberating…but I still have 20/200 vision (which I have learned means that I can only see at 20 feet what a person with “normal sight” can see at 200 feet.) Lovely!

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.  This one has been tough, but I have been trying. Changing grades this year has kept me very busy and working 10 hour days or more at school everyday. This weekend I will see 2 of my wonderful friends!

Financial- Purchases only from Debit card. Give 10% of my income away.  YES!

Emotional/ Spiritual- Pray for Confidence and Boldness for myself. Relax my guilt.  This one should always be evolving. Lately I have had to really check myself with complaining. That one will really deplete your energy and your optimism. I had to make a list at school with advice (to myself) for when I feel stressed. Praying through it and humbling myself before God, asking for his help has been the BEST for ridding myself of this nasty heart issue.

See you back for another update in April! (:
