Last week I felt like my priorities were out of whack. Things that were important, but further down on my list, were slowly taking my time and energy away from the things that mattered most. I revisited my mission statement and created a visual to post in a place I visit everyday--my refrigerator. This helps me remember whats important (as well as the order of importance)...also making it pretty encourages me to look at it more!
If you need to create a mommy mission statement to help keep things in order I suggest you visit Inspired to Action. Seriously, this blog really does inspire me to action. Above is my priority list with an abridged version of my mission statement. I used scrapbook paper, glue, and a sharpie.
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Kendra-- having the visual has really helped.
ReplyDeleteI will have to make one for my house too :)
ReplyDeleteI was actually praying about this very subject this morning, because I too feel that my priorities aren't where they should be. I think that I'll make this a family project to do with the children this weekend. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteVernee,
ReplyDeleteThis would be a GREAT family project. Here's a link with a much prettier and elaborate one: http://thepleatedpoppy.com/2009/10/done/
Let me know how it works out!
this is awesome, perfect way to start a new year, for any day actually.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteI actually think I may post some of my 2011 goals in a similar way.
