I follow Flylady and post on the facebook page which is great for encouragement and a laugh!<br /><br />I eat organic, I attend Ballet and POinte (and try once a week to hit a date with Darcey Bussell and her Pilates DVD!) BUT, I work hard, procrastinate about housework (coz it all needs doing TODAY and today isn't long enough, so I worry about where to start and disable myself with stress!!) I spend too long on the computer (Pinterest mostly!! And reading blogs...oooops!) I want fresh air, laughs, a calm home, fun with my family......I'm with you!<br /><br />Let's get to it!!!<br /><br />Good wishes for change xxxNorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429295648611032746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846470566746088487.post-60616020201157348012014-05-14T05:36:25.748-05:002014-05-14T05:36:25.748-05:00oh i hear you on every single point!!!

And clean my house more often as it does give me peace when it is nice and tidy! <br />About 1,5 years ago I started to quilt seriously and that has given me such an creative outlet that I feel much much better than before. The binge eating has almost disappeared as I can not eat and sew at the same time, ha ha! Dirty fingers! I watch less tv than ever before, and get more done in the sewing room. I still have trouble with getting my house in order as sewing is definitely more fun than housekeeping! :-)<br />I will try to follow along with you and maybe (?) get some exercise outdoors?!<br />ipatchandquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982452075020986135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846470566746088487.post-21075040413653230892014-05-13T19:20:47.029-05:002014-05-13T19:20:47.029-05:00Why not Spring resolutions?

Kudos for working that out and deciding to grab it and shake it up to your advantage. <br /><br />Getting up early is my absolute saviour in managing my insane life. I have a whole hour to myself in the mornings , and I plan my day , work out what I want to achieve for the day , and generally faff about. It’s wonderful!<br /><br />Good Luck with your less stressful life. I think sometimes we all run around like blue arsed flies so much we forget to actually live in the moment. <br />Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846470566746088487.post-84437520267988106832014-05-12T15:07:04.568-05:002014-05-12T15:07:04.568-05:00Wise words.

I read a great quote on pinterest earlier: "Learn to say 'No' without explaining yourself." I think it's a female trait to want to please people so we take on too much and sometimes it's hard to say 'no' and when we do we feel we need to justify it.Isisjemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639503578526424947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846470566746088487.post-67952404671158746672014-05-12T14:24:41.344-05:002014-05-12T14:24:41.344-05:00Check, check, and check.
