your

We All Need a Little KickstartA little boost.

A little push.

A little motivation to keep moving forward after the hustle and bustle of

the holiday season.

If your family is like mine, not likely to turn down a good meal and

tasty treats, then you may be thinking about weaning off carbs or sugar.

Maybe you've thought for a while about hitting the gym again, but

figured it could wait until the new year. Maybe Christmas has left your

bank account a little leaner and your waist a little wider.

Maybe you would like to create new habits in your home, to be more

organized and not have so much clutter. Or as the year ends, you may

have personal goals like making more time to read or learning a new

hobby. Maybe you've been thinking about reviving time with God and

getting back into a regular quiet time.

At Practical Family, we love to encourage busy moms and dads to

build healthy homes from the inside out. The four categories of health

we focus on are:Physical

Mental

Emotional

Spiritual

Care for your body through

movement, nutrition, & rest.

Invest time to learn new things &

confidently grow in wisdom.

Reflect on personal behavior &

evaluate relationship patterns.

Give every area of life to God, get

to know Him better and pray for

guidance, discernment & peace.

Whatever your reason, you know that something needs to change,

so let's take these first few steps together by recognizing the areas of

need, and the obstacle that often holds us back.

Not Another To Do ListWe tend to put too much emphasis on beginnings, and not enough on the

follow-through. We tend to quit when the result isn't perfect. This will be the

number one most self-defeating mindset on a journey to kickstarting your life:

giving up on the workout when you miss a day or two. Giving up on the

budget when you miss a receipt or two. Giving up on de-cluttering when the

mound seems insurmountable.

Don’t let a perfectionistic mindset convince you that any effort

isn't good enough. Continuing to function in this mindset will

hold you back from living a whole and healthy life, from making

necessary changes away from toxic people or circumstances, or

learning to adapt to the ever-changing tides of life.

At first glance, this list of practical tips may come off as a "to do" list, but it's

really not. Think of it more as a gentle nudge, ideas to get you started. By no

means must you feel obligated to complete all ten, because that may feed an

old habit of striving for perfection. That's not what we're going for here.

Instead, we're looking for little changes, little goals over little amounts of time

is the key. In fact, my experience as a professional starter can testify that

success does not come from starting, but finishing. Make it your goal to start

and finish one thing on this list completely, and work your way down on the

others. Some may come easier to you than others, and that's great!

That's finding your strength and running with it. Do what you do

best, take time to work on the rest, and don't wait around for

applause from others - they're trying to work out their own

stuff anyway.

How to Use this Workbook

In this workbook, you will find a Plan It Out page after each tip, which will

help to engage your personal goals. Some questions will ask how you

will reward yourself for finishing certain tasks.

As we learn to be self-motivated, creating little

checkpoints for ourselves makes progress seem

more attainable. It's not like getting a trophy for

every little thing, but to practice being intrinsically

driven instead of depending on outside motivators (like

trophies) and "good jobs" from people that may likely

never come. The goal is to practice propelling forward,

to focus on the goal by creating breadcrumbs along the

way.

Some fun reward examples could be as simple as a short

break, a tasty treat, an episode of your favorite show, or

basically anything else more attractive than focusing to finish

a task. Build the habit of delaying gratification to finish instead

of being compulsively distracted, and kickstart your success.

So what is your "why?" Why do you want to change some

some of your habits today to live a healthier life? Keep

that in the forefront of your mind, write it down or take

a picture and place in front of you every day. Start

making small changes to hit your goals and live a life that

honors God & His purpose for your life.

Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress. Working hard for

something we love is called passion." -Simon Sinek

Live With Less1

Tackle one area of your home at a time, maybe one area per day or

week, and rack up small goals you can be proud of. Reward yourself with

a small treat after each decluttering session!

ResourcesKathi Lipp | Clutter Free Academy

Clutter is nothing

more than postponed decisions.

Have you felt overwhelmed lately by all the stuff? Every time you turn

around, it's like something else needs to be put away. Closets,

drawers, and paper piles loom over when you walk in the

door, and the guilt of not getting to them eats away at you

more every day.

Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions. We

can easily allow all the stuff to control us if we have not developed

a habit for putting things back in their place, or deciding to toss

them altogether. Someone needs to decide where things go in

the home, and if that may require creative storage solutions.

But before you invest in more stuff to hold all the stuff, trying purging first,

and consider this:

The more things you own, the more they own you. This year, strive to

own less, separate the things you need from the things you want, and

then check your motives for keeping them. Fear & guilt should never be a

reason to hold onto clutter.

Get Moving2

Take small steps to get your body moving again. Begin with stretches in

the morning, and before bed time. Slowly graduate to simple lunges,

squats, pushups and sit ups, and take a light jog around the block.

ResourcesMichelle Spadafora | Faithful Workouts

Exercise because you love

your body, not because you hate it.

...and love your body

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom

you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So

glorify God in your body. (1 Cor. 6:19-20)

Take Action

We were made to move! Our bodies function in a specific and special

way, and when we're not not moving and burning the natural calories we

take in with food, the body stores it up like a bear hibernating for the

winter. We carry that around vital organs and then they stop functioning

as they should.

Having a regular exercise routine gets our muscles and

lungs use to working as they should, and sends

messages to our brain to clarify our thinking and

give us more energy throughout the day.

Exercise because you love your body, not because you hate it. The problem we can come against is how we

measure success in fitness. It's easy to get caught up in comparison, &

feeling defeated when our bodies don't look a certain way. Having a

strong, healthy-looking body will come as a result of working out faithfully,

but it’s not what our main focus should be. Have grace for yourself in the

process, notice how much better you feel after, and celebrate the small

breakthroughs.

Cut the Sugar3

Focus your meals on more natural fats, proteins and vegetables, they will

fill you up and satisfy faster. Go for chocolate that is 70% cacao and

higher. Slowly purge the unnecessary sweets from the house and opt for

water or fruit juice instead of soda.

ResourcesSugar Free Product Guide | Pinch of Yum

Eat less sugar, you're sweet

enough already.

As tasty as those treats are, sugar can have harsh effects on our body

when consumed regularly. You may notice that you're more tired

during the day after you've had a some cookies, or coffee with

extra sweetener. You may find yourself reaching for

another candy in the jar, and that's because sugar is

also highly addictive.

Eat less sugar, you're sweet enough already. Sugar can be

found in most comfort foods, including bread-based items, and it's

no wonder that we turn to these when we're sad or depressed, or

when we gather with family & friends to celebrate. Recognizing

these triggers can be an important step to cutting back & creating

healthier habits.

Over time, the instant gratification that sugar brings will fade, and enjoying

a piece of pie or a holiday snack won't be as guilt ridden. Use your

freedom to choose food that is good to your body, & indulge sparingly.

-Dave Ramsey

Money can be a major point of frustration for many families, and new

expenses pop up all the time. If you've had a difficult time

holding onto your money, it may be time to make some

changes in how you manage it.

Budget is not a bad word. When we put ourselves

on a budget, all we're doing is telling our money where to go. It's

a game plan. Budgets are meant to be fluid, so there may be

changes made to your new year that allow for paying off debt faster

by saving on other things.

Tell your money what to do, or it will leave. When there is no plan for

how to spend money, even down to "unforseen" expenses, you may be

tempted to overspend, or use that credit card to save you. But the

spending cycle can get out of hand unless there is a plan to save, or say

"no" to unplanned opporunities.

Clear the Calendar5

Consider cutting things out of your schedule that keep you from quality

time with the family. Practice saying "no" when asked to take on more,

even if it seems like a simple favor. Measure every "yes" against the

value of your time, people, & direction from God through prayer.

ResourcesThe Overcommitted Family | Practical Family

"Lack ofdirection,

not lack of time, is the

problem. We all have twenty-

four hour days."

"There are just not enough hours in the day!" Family life can get busy with

work and school schedules, extra curricular activities, and last-

minute opportunities we don't want to miss. But

when appointments pile high and pull at your time,

overwhelm can set in, and anxiety can make you

feel like you're spinning your wheels.

It's common to feel stuck in calendar commitments when we're

trying to meet others' expectations and prioritize obligations above

what is better for our family. Other times, it's a matter of

underestimating how much time a task requires, and then we

work harder to catch up with the ongoing to-do list.

The key is to keep your values connected to the direction of where

you spend time. The less commitments to other things, the more time for

things and people who matter most to you.

...and prioritize your people

Clear Digital Distractions6

ResourcesTechncology & Family | Practical Family

"Technology is a useful

servant, but adangerous

master."

Just as physical clutter can distract us from productivity in our spaces,

digital distractions can easily take the rest of our attention.

Most of us keep our cell phones close for instant

communication, social media, and the occasional game.

This is compounded when you need to rely on devices

for work commitments, ready to receive &

respond to emails. That little rectangle we hold in our pocket does

not have to be as anxiety inducing as we allow it to be. We can

take steps to clear our digital spaces to make room for

uncluttered mental space time to develop our relationship with

God & not be so concerned with others.

Social Media Habits. Allow yourself to check social media only at certain

times of the day, maybe set a timer for every couple of hours instead of every

5-10 minutes. Remind yourself that you're not missing anything you can

check on later. Remove the apps from your phone for a while to detox and

reset your brain from constant checking.

Emails. Schedule yourself an hour to go through and "unsubscribe" from the

email lists filling up your inbox that are not adding quality information or

encouragement to your life. It's okay to go without coupons, in fact, it may

curb your online spending to be without those sales reminders. Stick with your

top three favorite communicators and leave the rest for now.

...and clear your brain

for new adventures, & healthy enough for others to receive.

Learning can also take the shape of support from our community.

"The heart cannot love

what the mind does not know."

Just as our bodies & minds need to be exercised, fed, and rested, our

spiritual walk with God needs the same attention. In fact, what

we believe about God is a result of how much time we spend

in His Word, getting to know Him better, learning to trust His

promises. That trust will lay a foundation for how

we operate and make decisions every day. That trust will settle

our souls & confirm that there is power & peace beyond our

own abilities - and that can be so freeing.

Do you believe He created and called the universe into order?

(Gen. 1) That He created all things including us, and cares for

us (Matt. 6). Do you believe He has the power over sin and

death & made the ultimate sacrifice for you? (Rom. 5) Then how much

more does He care about the little things and long to be in relationship.

(1 Jn. 4) He is patient (1 Pet. 3) and in His divine power has given us

everything we need (1 Pet. 1).

Spending time with God puts everything else into perspective. Hit the

reset button by pausing to read the Bible, pray and ask God to help you to

be close to Him. Pick a time of day and stick to it for a consistent amount

of time during the week, & watch how your attitudes and perspectives

change. The power of God changes hearts & lives, because He is good.

...and get closer to God

Prioritize Family Time9Learning to be more productive, organized, and efficient are great things

but when all that beautiful productivity is directed toward

projects outside the family, it's time to shift gears.

Uninterrupted time with the ones you love most is key to

forming bonds that last beyond momentary wins. It's

the long-term investments built on memories, laughter

& tears, celebrating crazy milestones, traveling to far off places

or just the neighborhood park.

Family values are taught and caught when we spend intentional

time learning from and loving each other. This year, be aware

of the quality and quantity time you make for your family. Be

present, proactive, and fiercely protective of any distraction that

creeps in to steal that gift.

ResourcesTeaching from Rest | Sarah Mackensie

Self care is not selfish. You cannot serve from an empty

vessel.

Just as exercise helps to maintain a healthy physical body, reading to

maintain a healthy mental state, & quiet time to maintain the

spiritual, stopping to rest will support our emotional state. We

need rest from the doing, the busyness, & the distraction &

sometimes from the people were care for. So much of our energy is

poured out during the week that we need time to replenish, at least a day,

a time for sabbath to recharge & reenergize in order to give our best.

God was actually the first one to model rest, when He

created the world & rested on the seventh day (Gen. 2).

The Bible speaks constantly about God giving us rest, from

enemies, from enslavement, from hardship. He cares and

He made us to have that margin in our lives (Ex. 33;

2 Sam. 7; Isa. 14; Matt. 11).

Self-care does not necessarily look the same for everyone. Caring for

yourself means choosing activities that are most fulfilling for

you. Someone who finds outdoors calming may feel stressed about being

cooped up inside, just as one who prefers solitude indoors may not find

joy on a hike.

...because rest is important
