Pressing on with Jesus

[girl81]

I hope to use this journal to help me stay focused and growing in all areas of my life (Physical, Spiritual, Social/Relational, Financial, Intellectual). I hope to reinforce into my mind and spirit that my life and every area of it needs to be used for God's Will.
I will update with goals for each soon.

Random thoughts I will organize as I go:

Goals:
LT= long term (life long)
MT= medium term, where I hope to be in a year
ST= short term, what I hope to have in place in a month (30 days to form a habit?), smart= specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely

Matthew 6:33 always my guide, my return to what matters.

Balance in all areas: Spiritual, Physical, Social, Career/Financail, Mental

SPIRITUAL:
LT: complete Christlikeness, a servant to all, unconditionally loving and forgiving to all people at all times
MT: more selfless
ST: get back into at least one weekly Bible study

Random venting:

I think I need a place where I can just vent my thoughts so I will be doing that here. I don't know what is wrong with me anymore. My moods are anxious and depressed more often than I'd like to admit and i'm angry at myself for that. I feel like my hunger cues are very off as well; I force myself to eat then don't trust that my body is digesting it. I am detoxing cigarettes right now so that is part of it I think. I need to be patient and mindful right now, focused on Jesus.

Goal of the week: CHANNEL ALL ENERGY THAT WOULD BE USED TO WORRY INTO LOVING MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. BE PROACTIVE AND GENEROUS.
