Week 15: Self Control

This week we are working on Benjamin Franklin’s Makeover. The Law of Growth, what we think about grows within us.  This will be an interesting exercise.  In a list of 13 virtues, ranked from the ones that need the most work to the ones on the bottom that you have already somewhat mastered. For me,…

Week 13/14: It’s the Holiday Season…

…Whoop Dee Do.  Yes it is that time of year for the hustle and bustle in that cold winter bliss.  Show people around you how much you cherish and appreciate them… finding sales, buying gifts, parties you can’t miss.  Wrap the gifts and throw that smile on, it is the best time yet a high…

Week 12: Be Kind to Yourself

Going into this week we are writing 30-50 cards listing out accomplishments in our lives.  I started off picking out major milestones… graduating from college, cheering for a major football team in the NFL, marrying the man of my dreams, building a successful career in product design and development for a fortune 500 company downtown…

Week 11: Scared or Realistic

It is so easy to give up and so hard to be persistent.  I feel like I am persistent when it comes to exercising, working on a project at work, but why is it when it comes being persistent in building my own business I hesitate?  I feel instead like I am bothering people by…

Week 10 – Greet the Day with Love

The sentence I took away from Scroll II was, “I will greet the day with love in my heart”. This is really so simple and so easy to do, yet it makes such a difference. So well stated going into Thanksgiving week. How can I not greet the day with love in my heart when…

Week 9: The Missing Link

I am doing all of this WORK, making flashcards of chores, my DMP (Definite Major Purpose), creating posters, color coding my major goals, reading tons of great literature, but I was just doing all of this work and going through the motions not truly internalizing what really needed to happen.   Writing this blog was…

Week 8: Get Back on the Horse

We all know this journey was not meant to be easy. If it was, anyone would do it, but we are the only ones left… challenging ourselves from day to day to be better than we were.  Changing our bad habits into good habits, that will instead create and fulfill our new prophecy, by which…

Week 7: Going on a Diet

A mental diet that is… For seven days I must not allow myself to dwell for a single moment on any kind of negative thought.  I vow to devote one week solely to the task of building a new habit of thought, and during that week let everything in life be unimportant as compared with that….

Week 6: The Gal in the Glass

Who is looking back at her when she looks in the mirror? That is what this whole journey is about… looking the gal in the mirror straight in the eye and holding her accountable to her dreams.  I had no idea how hard that might be. This is a good task for me… instead of…

Week 5: Drowning

I have now entered Week 5 of my personal journey and I feel like I am drowning… I can’t remember what I read or watched the weeks preceding.  I am getting lost as to all that I have to have done.  The check list is insurmountable and not super clear.  I think I have everything…

Week 1: Here goes nothing…

My first week of a six month journey to create a blue print for my life… Well that sounds like a daunting task… What did I get myself into??? How did I get here?  In the past four years, I found the man of my dreams, got married and had three beautiful, wonderful and incredibly…
