Simplifying Spiritually

 Here are the first three spiritual items to work on:
  •  Be more positive.
  • Encourage rather than discipline.
  • Be patient and more relaxed.

I plan on improving these areas by waking up each morning and starting it off in peace (I get the first hour alone if I am up by my 5:00a target). During my morning I can visualize how today can be great, how today can impact the kids’ lives and what my real role is as a dad. Throughout the day I plan on taking 3 or 4 breaks to get outside for 10 minutes. Get outside and enjoy the peace of the country: the sounds, smells and beauty.

  • I will schedule 2 or 3 relaxation breaks for 5 minutes.
  • I will take a break from cell phones and computer. 
  • I will sit in quiet and breath deep.


After I feel that I have rebalanced by spiritual health, I can begin to enjoy everything more, but I need to improve myself first.
