Sleep Camel

October 20, 2014 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

Cowboy Hat BabyWouldn’t it be cool to be able to store things up the way a camel stores water in the desert? I’d be a sleep camel. 

Our little home is coming along. I carry the baby around like a marsupial while doing those Playboy Bunny waitress moves (where you bend at the knees and swivel at the waist as if there is a book on your head) while doing laundry and unpacking boxes.  Only I’m wearing my ninja outfit again. Sometimes I outsmart the baby by waking at 4:45 and sneak out of bed to do chores.

Once in a while I research non-toxic baby cribs and then try to find one on Craigslist. 

The only complaint I have…I want to do MORE!!!!!! S-a-t-i-s-f-a-c-t-i-o-n! That’s what I live for!! That and credit for finding the best donuts in every town.

Speaking of sweets…Trader Joe’s Carrot Cake (freezer section) is what we enjoy after 9:00 p.m. every night while watching old episodes of Homeland in bed. Is anyone watching this show??!!! LOVE IT. I have to say it would be more convincing if Brody had a real Marine haircut. Womp (new word from sister-in-law)!

I just realized it’s my mom’s birthday-the first one of two that she has. AH!

What kind of camel would you be? Happy Monday!!!! Grant’s wearing his great grandpa’s hat.

      Thanks, Amanda! HI! OK, how about an exquisite donut camel? More specifically a Primos Donuts (West LA) Camel. Those things are amazing-all kind of old fashioned/cakey style. It’s so far away now!!! I’ll have to eat like 20 the next time I go up. Thanks for stopping by!

    I feel you on the sleep camel thing Christina. If only we could bank and store sleep. Happy Birthday to your mom! Does she have 2 birthdays because she follows Korean calendar? My mom celebrates hers by the Chinese calendar and this year her birthday falls on the same day as my husband’s. Double celebration yay!

      Oh you are SOO awesome!! Well the birthday thing is bc she was born during the war in Korea so the office was closed on the day of her birth so the reported date of birth is different from her actual birthday. We love to have her birthday twice or we get off the hook if we forget her first one!! Bahahah

    You are too funny! I have missed you and your hilarious observations! I am dressed like a ninja today, too. Head to toe black, baby. But I have bright purple nails so it offsets the darkness. Glad all is going well with the bambino. xo

Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I ea Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I eat in a day” to lose 25 pounds.

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

Follow @christinajwarren if you enjoy finding ways to be empowered in your life, no matter what is going on around you.
How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.

If you’re into the power of your vibes creating your whole world, follow @christinajwarren where we cultivate inner peace to create a beautiful life from the inside out.
