5 things to keep you feeling empowered

Sea Greens now has a companion website.  I have been "getting empowered" by learning to build a wordpress website.  The new one is www.enrichmymind.com.  And while this site is in its infant stages, I have big dreams to connect with 1500  regular readers or more by 7/28/11.   I am sooooo proud that I actually did it myself.  Yeah, I know it needs help to be beautified. Design is not my thing but I have enough sense to find someone who has this skill ;d).

Not only did I take a class from Adria over at www.freshworkshops.com to  learn how to understand the back-end dashboard and how to install wordpress.  But I  learned I could go to www.wordpress.org  or www. odesk.com to hire a contractor to take it to the next level.  Soon I will be hiring a virtual assistant to help manage the site better.

The most important thing about this process has been a reminder that I can still make things happen. Life and all of its routines have the tendency to wear us down and make you think the best you can do is  "hold things together" the way they are. When what I am learning does not establish itself tangibly, I start to feeling weak.  So here are a few things that will help work against this type of logjam and malaise.

1. learn something you thought you couldn't learn (like swimming)
   
2. exercise 1 time per week more than you planned 
3. take two quiet times for yourself of 5-12 minutes each day
4. work at whatever you consider " your"  work  daily
5. sleep even if it's broken sleep.... get up until you can go back to sleep.
6. schedule relaxation into your calendar

I said 5 but I think I could go on. What do you do to keep it moving?
