MAY-TOPIA!

MAY-TOPIA is a month of living out what things I think would have me be the best version of myself possible for the glory of God alone.

My list is outlined below. I am publically declaring to live all of the below from May 3rd- June 1st.

DISCLAIMER: Please know I am not a fan of legalism for the sake of rules- I am motivated by lists/goals and I WANT these things for my life.

SPIRITUAL:
* I will spend time in prayer and the Word every morning (7:00-8:15am)
* I will spend 3 hours (plan is hour increments) of dedicated prayer time per week in addition to QT in AM (prayer plan not included here)
* I will speak only when spoken to
* I will memorize at least one verse a week

SCHEDULE:
* I will get up at 6:30am every weekday morning
* I will be in bed by 11:00, lights out no later than 12:00am on weekdays
* I will be on time for all meetings at the time I agree to be there
(Note: Tues C-group by 7:00pm (not 6:30p); Wed- SYU 6:15p)

WORK:
* I will log into work on time every morning (8:30am)
* I will take an official 30 min lunch break every day
* I will not work from any location other than my desk
* I will not do stuff for Southbridge during 8:30-5:00pm unless it is on my designated lunch break
* I will only check personal email in the AM if I have time, or on my lunch break, or after 5:00pm

PHYSICAL:
* I will RUN (or exercise at least 30 minutes) 3 x a week in the afternoon (I have a calendar of what specific days depending on what I have scheduled that I am not posting here)

MISC:
* I will watch no more than 3 hours of TV per week
* I will check Facebook only when emailed and will not stay on beyond responding
* I will volunteer for MATCH at least one shift this month

I have shared this concept with a few people who have decided to join me and I am happy to have accountability and company! Feel free to make your own May-Topia list and if you are willing to share please do!

You have my permission to ask me about, and/or hold me accountable to any and all of the above this month.
