Fridge Checklist
If you haven’t already started a “Fridge Checklist” … why not start today? I can procrastinate as much as anyone else but this is an easy step by step thing to do.I revised my checklist and put up a new one today. Get out your blank checklist and start with just 3 things. If you don’t have one you can make one . Get a piece of paper and put Monday thru Sunday across the top and at least 3 goals down one side. Then make straight lines for each column to create boxes. Make a check each day for accomplished goals.
I always suggest that you put ” Do 3 Situps” on the list. Actually I prefer 3 Yoga Sit backs (see instructions below). The reason I suggest only 3 is because I have found that the hardest part of any exercise is just getting started. So have a goal of just 3 sit backs a day. Once you are on the floor do as many as you want. What usually happens is once you get started you think…”I can do 6 or 10…” and that’s fine. But the most important thing is developing a new habit..so put it on your checklist and be proud each time you check it off.
Five minute Yoga is another easy option for your list. I will post 5 minute Yoga to the blog. Another goal that I always suggest for a” Fridge Checklist” is a ” Sensuous Activity”. The only limitations are your imagination. I will suggest ideas in my blog throughout the year… or you can read my book for ideas. Today’s suggestions… Give yourself a warm oil foot massage, enjoy a hot bath with herbs or flowers in the water, or run outside in the rain with as few clothes as possible are just a few ways to check off “Sensuous Activity” on your Fridge Checklist. A “Sensuous Activity” could be something as simple as thinking about a Sensuous Activity that you want to do in the future. Writing in your bedside journal or or going outside to “Ground” yourself is always a great idea. “Ground”yourself by standing barefoot on the earth for 10-15 minutes. This is a great way to start to get in touch with your Inner Wisdom and feel more peaceful.
By putting only 3 things on your checklist you will start to make big changes in your life without feeling overwhelmed.
I would love to hear from you all about your success at making life changes that you want to make towards becoming the person you want to be.

Yoga Sit back
Stay aware of your body… Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor in front of you.Raise your arms straight in front you along side of your knees. Very slowly start to sit back almost like a reverse situp keeping arms straight along side of your knees.Go back about half way keeping your ab muscles engaged.Only go back as far as you can hold with your ab muscles.(Don’t fall or roll onto lower back.) Then hold this position for a few seconds or up to 15 seconds, and then come back to the start position. Repeat at least 3 times.
Be aware of any physical limitations .Stop if painful.
I learned how to Drum and Sing at Omega Institute, and I met over 20 Goddess who were looking for more ways to get in touch with their Inner Wisdom and Sensuous Self! The Workshop was very Physical, Spiritual, and Sensuous. It included many of my interests including Dancing, Yoga, Essential Oils, being out in Nature, connecting with other Goddesses . . . and having Fun! I also met one really nice guy who wanted to be in our Goddess Workshop, and was invited by Sierra to join our morning Circle. He and several other beautiful spirits stopped by to join our Drumming Circle as well, and others sat nearby and listened. Drumming and Singing was an amazing way to start each day. Sierra’s voice was Strong, Passionate, and Inspiring. She was our leader and role model. I learned how to Drum and Sing with Passion. We all evolved toward feeling more free to show passion with each passing day … which was very appropriate for the “Goddesses Gone Wild” Workshop.
