Holy smokes - time is running away from me - FAST!
My 30 days cleanse is 23 days into process now and I have officially made it a habit (it takes 21 days to make a habit) and things have been REALLY busy for me these last few days... But I managed to listen to Wednesday night's coaching call and also to pay attention to some of the little video clips that my coaching team has been sending out.
Some of the gleanings this week that have been provoking thought are:
1) What is my "why" for doing this?
Off the top of my head my biggest "why" is myself. I haven't been happy for a long time and have known for a long time that part of my unhappiness has been linked to how I have been feeling about myself. I couldn't fit my clothes properly) and I HATE shopping for clothing - a by product of how I feel about how I look.
Smaller "why" reasons include my family - my nephew in particular. That little boy has been the very centre point in my heart since the day he was born. He looks at me with love. He sees me as his perfect auntie an I don't ever EVER want that little face to see me the way I have been seeing myself. I want to be the best me possible - so I can live a long life and watch him grow.
Those are a couple of my "whys"
Tonight's video clip was all about habits, starting them, changing them and setting myself up for success.
Tonight's steps included:
1) Writing out a list of habits I want to create in my life.
2) Choosing 1 habit to do consistently for 1 month
3) Linking a new habit (or behaviour) with a current neutral behaviour that I am already doing
4) Tackling 1 new habit every month.
The "jumping off" point is making that list of habits.
- I want to get exercise of some sort EVERY day
- I want to feed myself with better choices - meaning that I will need to research and try new recipes
- I want to start LEARNING again - not just work related, but external and personal interest learning
- I want to get myself out there and actually be open to starting to meet men again.
Starting with the top of the list. That is my immediate challenge to myself. exercise EVERY day. The easiest way for me to start with this one is to ensure that I walk my gorgeous dog each and every day - not just on work days. 30 minutes, first thing every morning.
Wish me luck!
