28 février 212 Principle #4 - FOCUSHey everyone! Well, we're FINALLY back to school (well, all that are of that age!) & my goal is to get this house back into shape! We had 10 kids here all day yesterday & several trips in & out to play in the snow (oh how I LOVE that whole "dress/undress" process ... NOT!). Anyway, we survived & it really was fun having everyone home! Ray has conferences tonight & then a football "coaching thing" at the H.S. tonight (they have all of next year's team come together to play basketball w/coaches & just "hang out & have fun" ... they stay until after midnight!). Luckily, Ray has tomorrow off, since he's got conferences late tonight, so he's giving me the "day off" tomorrow & staying home w/our kids & our "daycare" kids. I'm planning to do some shopping for our daughter's b-day on Sun. & then maybe just crash at my mom's for the afternoon & read/nap, since our weekend is going to be really busy! I am SOOOO blessed that Ray is such a "hands on" dad & so thoughtful to recognize when I need a "break"! He's the BEST!
So, our 212 principle today is FOCUS & what a GREAT thing to think about! The video defines 212 Focus as "having a simple, clearly defined goal can capture the imagination & inspire passion. It can cut through the fog, like a beacon in the night." What is YOUR focus in this journey? Have you made it simple & compelling, or have you created a complex, nearly impossible goal to attain?
As we move into the reality of this lifestyle change, it is CRUCIAL that we keep the FOCUS of our journey in sight! We must be willing to strip away ALL distractions & challenges, so we can truly FOCUS on what we are working toward! In our BUSY lives, it is SO EASY to get "sidetracked" into doing a MILLION other things each day (trust me, my life is MADE UP of nothing but distractions!
 ), but it is when we put in that EXTRA DEGREE of EFFORT that we pull ourselves BACK into "FOCUS" & do what we said we'd do ... NO MATTER WHAT (which is why I'm finding myself working out at the END of a VERY LONG day more times than I'd like ... never in a MILLION YEARS would I have thought I'd be WILLINGLY heading to my basement to exercise for an HOUR or more at 8pm or later!!) Some days, that extra effort might SEEM impossible, but I URGE YOU to not throw in the towel COMPLETELY. Simply admit that you can't do an ENTIRE workout, but you CAN spend 10 min. running up & down your stairs (or doing crunches, or walking your dog, or SOME TYPE of physical activity!). If you're pulled away from the meals you had all PLANNED OUT, then make the BEST of the situation & stay FOCUSED on making the BEST choices you can & move on! I'm not saying it's easy & some days, you just won't be able to pull it off; however, it's the BIG PICTURE FOCUS that will keep you ON TRACK & moving toward your goal that you must ALWAYS keep in mind!!To me, 212 FOCUS doesn't mean you barrel toward your goal to the EXCLUSION of all else, it means that you find a way to navigate the daily challenges in a way that keeps you ON TRACK toward your goals! It isn't always easy, but the 212 ATTITUDE, KINDNESS & BELIEF that you have cultivated will be the tools you can draw on to really keep you FOCUSED on that EXCITING goal you have set for yourself!
Today, I challenge you to re-commit to moving with PASSION & PURPOSE toward what you deserve & we will all be CELEBRATING your arrival in no time at all!!!
 Take care, everyone & until next time .... drink some water, move a little & SMILE!
