It's become very clear to me that I am not the best at following through with my plans. This blog was supposed to be about my journey to become the person I know is lurking below the surface... the only problem is, there are little things I do to sabatoge myself. So, I'm creating the Sarah Dare, or as I call it, the "Be It Resolved Dare"... not to be confused with the Love Dare. Each day, I'm going to reflect on one smallish thing I do that cripples my attempt to grow into myself. Then, for the next 24 hours, I will be conscious of when and why I do the act I want to change. Each day, I'll add something new, continuing with the change from the days before, but making a more concerted effort to change the way I respond to life. I suppose some days will be more environmental, like don't go to bed with a dirty kitchen sink, and others, like today's are things that make each day more stressful than they need to be and eat away at the relationship.
So today, Be It Resolved that I will find other ways to communicate with my family other than yelling. First, it doesn't really get them to do what I need them to do and it creates a home that is not in harmony with the way I want to raise my children. There is a calm me waiting to be unleashed... just wait and see!
