Another chart :) Health Habit Tracker Calendar

  

(Update- Jan 2023) I found out last year that a few people had taken this chart and were selling it on Etsy. That wasn't the purpose for it. I wrote the individuals and asked them to take it down and they wouldn't. I contacted Etsy and the easiest way to get them to take it down was to be selling it myself and report it as stolen art. So I put it up very cheap on there so you can still get it for almost free and Etsy removed it from the other stores. I hope you continue to enjoy using this and that you make wonderful leaps in your goals, progress, and dreams! If you would like to use a leap year version for 2024- that is in my Etsy shop as well. The different links are below.)

 Yup.  Another chart.  I know... it's how my brain and motivation work. :)   So, I love choosing goals (which makes my 13 year old daughter constantly roll her eyes at me.  Every January I freak out trying to just choose one goal for the year to focus on the most.  I just can't do it.   hahaha  

I had a brilliant idea!  I can just focus on one goal each month.  Then if I slip up one day, it's not big deal.  For some reason messing up on a goal that will change at the end of the month seems a lot less terrifying than messing up on a goal that I'm going to try to do the whole year.  I made this calendar in Photoshop and then printed it off and separated out the months into little boxes of the number of days of each month.  Everyday I can color in a little box.  It sounds sooo lame, but for some reason it really motivates me and gets me excited to color in a stupid little box.  At the end of the year this is going to to be a rainbow explosion of awesomeness hanging on the wall in my pantry and hopefully I'll have developed a few more cool hobbies, healthy habits, etc.   Besides, it'll stop me stewing through half the month trying to figure out what New Years Resolution I am going to choose- I get 12- just one at a time. :)   If you would like to print this off and have a fun year of growing more awesome along with me and my family then please follow this link to my etsy shop here where you can purchase it for CHEAP!

For those that like the original design from 10 years ago, I've digitized it in a way to keep the original design, but with cleaner lines and larger digital numbers. The file will hold both styles in case people like the hand drawn original better.  

I have also created a bundle package of the new digitized design and individual months to spotlight and color in. You can find it here in my Etsy shop.

It comes in 3 sizes (US Letter, A4, and A5) with individual motivational quotes for each month. The bundle also includes the one sheet calendar in 4 sizes (US Letter, A4, A5, and Poster 12"x18"). Go have a look! Like all my other trackers, it's in my shop and really cheap. 

Christmas Reading Chart

On Sunday I had the idea to read the four gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) throughout the month of December as a way of keeping me focused on what Christmas is really about for me and draw closer to the Savior.   I began this week instead of waiting for December (I guess I was just too excited). :)  I figured out that if I wanted to pace myself, I needed to read about 6 pages a day to finish on Christmas Eve.  For anyone that wants to start after Thanksgiving they would need to read about 7 pages a day.

As I began reading in the mornings this last week I realized how much more special it would be to read it to my girls.  They like to get ready for school quickly and spend the rest of the morning reading, practicing instruments, animating, or drawing.  I let them know that they didn't have to participate, but if they wanted to listen I would be in the family room reading out loud and they could draw near me and listen.  It has been very special to begin this and I really look forward to the rest of the Christmas season starting our mornings in such a quiet, special way.

Because I'm such a dorky/goal-oriented/visual kind of gal I googled if there was any sort of chart to color in for reading the 4 gospels.  I couldn't find one, but I did find a chart of the entire New Testament with the Wise Men like above.  I brought it into photoshop and created my own chart inside it to be for just the four gospels and wrote "The Wise Still Seek Him" in the papyrus font.  I put it here so anyone could use it that would like to.

I hope you have a very Merry Season. :)
