As I zone out and watch college football I hear my children downstairs singing an Alvin and The Chipmunks song. If only I could clean and organize as fast as they sing....well, lets try to beat the music.
Today's Challenge: Turn on a chipmunk song or something really fast and upbeat-do a quick clean to the music. Maybe do a fun dance with your kids as you help with their room or do the bathroom (a small room). Use the music as your timer. Make it fun!

Relationship Challenge: Invest Wisely
Relationships are all unique. One week "Joe" is your best friend then the next week "Joe" acts like he barely knows you. Sometimes you need to do an honest evaluation of your friends and decide if they are worth your time...investing in others is a painful challenge-so choose wisely your investments.
Today's Challenge: Evaluate your relationships and consider the investment. Don't be afraid to close the friend account or pour it all in...

Thursday Challenge: Something Random
Yes...I am remaining behind which makes me sad and concerned however, this entire blog is suppose to be about being a BetterU365 days. Never resting from positive reinforcement and striving to impact others with grace, love and good.
However, it's tough to pour yourself out when your inside is empty. Is your heart and soul empty? Are you struggling to be a BetterU? Are you just struggling to make the next decision.
Today's Challenge: Remember those who have poured themselves out for you. Don't let hate, sadness, depression fill you up. It would be better to remain empty. Instead be filled with the beauty and love in life.

Sunday: Family Treasures
Recently, I bought a necklace that has all my children's birthstones in it and has a little charm that says family. I adoringly put it on and wore it several times last week. Each time I saw it in the mirror at the bathroom or car I would whisper a little prayer from my kids.
Today's Challenge: Choose a family treasure that reminds you of several family members... wear it or put it where you will see it several times...not a picture but maybe artwork or a shoe, etc. Make a point to pray for family member each time you see it! The real challenge is remember what is the treasure-it's not the stuff but those behind the stuff that is the treasure!

Friday: Relationship Demands
No matter the relationship there are always demands...
I demand my children help clean their rooms
I demand my husband stay loyal
I demand my dogs stay in the yard
Even though we play demands on others-those demands aren't always met.
My children to not always help clean their room
Husbands and wives don't always remain loyal
My dogs get out!
What are your demands? Evaluate them. Are they too much? When people fail to meet the demands we have placed on them-where does it leave you? Heart-broken?
Today's Challenge: Think thru the demands you've placed on others-maybe they are simple and maybe they are hard-should you re-think them? Have you correctly expressed them and is there a clear understanding of what you are asking? Eliminate at least one demand you've placed on someone close. It may just be the difference in your heartbreak.
