Make Me Better Monday-A Pledge

I really enjoy making these pledges to myself every week. Like I've said before, it almost feels like I'm giving myself some serious accountability. And believe it or not, my weeks have gone slightly better. Last week, I made it to Thursday before I felt crummy about myself, my mothering and my wife-ing. That's gotta be a record! So I want to keep up momentum, thus another pledge! I also changed the title of these posts....what can I say, I'm a sucker for alliteration.

*I pledge to accept things that I cannot change.

*But I also pledge to stand up for how I''m feeling and voice what I truly believe when it really matters.

*Just like last week, I pledge to drink more water, but I also pledge to eat more fruits and veggies.

*I pledge to finish my book 'The Help' and move onto another 'Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet'. I love reading now and I feel like I'm really broadening my mind and building my intellect a little bit.

*I pledge to 'unplug on Thursday. No TV, no computer, not texting and being very selective of phone calls that I answer.

*I pledge to keep up the cleaning regimen that I started a few weeks ago. It seems to be working!

*I pledge more compassion to everyone!

*I pledge to call my family this week.

I'm well on my way to becoming a better, more compassionate, more thoughtful me!
