Just. Do. It!

I have this problem.
I am the QUEEN of procrastination.
Seriously.
I procrastinate like you've never seen anyone procrastinate before.
Just ask my husband.
In school, it was not the best quality to have, but I managed.
Oh that assignment is due at midnight? SUBMIT at 11:57 p.m. (true story)!
I like to cut it close. Wait until the last minute. Or last possible second!
But the problem is, sometimes things don't happen.
I set some really awesome goals.
I plan like it's my job.
And some things just don't happen!

So I set a new motto for myself.
Just do it!
(Thank you, Nike).

Oh you want to lose the rest of that baby weight plus a few lbs?
JUST DO IT.
So I started counting my calories & I feel great already. I am excited to be more active to get results!

Oh you want to REALLY start that photography business?
JUST DO IT!
This is a little more complicated, but I am working towards it. Doing something EVERY day to help me achieve that dream. 

Oh you want to be better at doing those little things that make the BIG difference?
JUST DO IT!
So I plan my days with a time set specifically for what I like to call "quiet time" (always during nap-time).
I read: scriptures, conference talks, photography books, good novels.
I write: thoughts & goals in my journal, and one things that makes me happy in my little green notebook.
I reflect: on what I am doing good & what I can do better. 

You get the gist, right?
These are all serious goals I have and I hate to say, but I have had them for a long time.
So just recently I set my motto & here I go.
I figured blogging about it made me more accountable to keep it up!:)

I can't wait to apply this to more goals I set & more dreams I have.
Because this procrastination queen is ready to retire the crown.
I just have to jump in and go for it, or my goals may never make it off paper.

And who wants a post without a picture?
These guys are my biggest fans & my best motivation. Love them.

I love this! About a year ago I instigated the life motto, "If not now, when?" It has totally changed the way I live life! I realized that everything I put off never got done, so I made a change to get on the ball and tackle my to-do lists. It's made me a much more productive person and I love that!

Awesome goal! You ARE an inspiration. And you have an adorable baby who is lucky to have you for his mom. :)
