Personal Commandments

I was going through a couple old journals today in search for some information.  There is an adventure in my near future involving a relocation to another state, region of the country and job/role/responsibility.  I'm excited, scared, proud, eager, and sometimes even anxious all at the same time.

Perhaps I should cut out caffeine for a while.  At least until after the move.  Nah, what fun would that be?

As I perused one of these journals I found a list I'd developed entitled, "Personal Commandments."  Some of them still completely fit.  Do they all still make sense?  Are there others that should be added?

I thought it would be a great accountability exercise to list them right here.  And get in the practice of revisiting them to review.  At this point I developed the list about 2 1/2 years ago.

And in no particular order:



Sow a good seed.

Do the right thing.

Do it for me.

Let it go.

Be Jude at 100%.

Breath in, breath out.

Listen more.

Just run.

Make room for more laughter.

Trust my gut.

Appreciate people - and tell them so!



I like it.  They made me feel like I must have had my act together when I wrote it.  Or at least had a vision of what it would look like if I did have that act together.

I'm eliminating 'do it for me,' because I'm not quite sure what I meant.  And if it no longer fits, get rid of it!  That works for most things in my life - if only I would listen when I figured that part out!

And the one I'd add because it's made a difference in the last few months:

Meditate.

And that's my list .. for now!
