21 Days to Form A Habit

I believe it was James Arthur Ray who said that it takes 21 days to form a habit. OK, I am game because I have a few things that I wish to make habits. (Gosh, that sounds funny!) So to start...

1) I wish to improve my physical well being. I exercise 4-5 days a week, but what I don't do is drink enough water. For the next 21 days I will make it a habit to drink 80 ounces of water a day (10/8 oz glasses).

2) I wish to become a bit more centered and grounded...meaning peaceful, especially in the evening when I should be winding down. For the next 21 days I will make it a habit to meditate for at least 10 minutes before bed.

Check back in 21 days (the 19th of May) for a progress report. :)

In the meantime, what habit will you form?

Get Out the Shovel

When I turned 40 I committed to going big or going home. Since I will be damned if I am going to go home, the only option for me has been to go BIG. Not a half-assed big, but a kick some butt and take names later BIG. And that BIG equates to unearthing lots of stuff, looking at any limiting beliefs and obstacles that need to be removed, as well as embracing every single experience -- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
 
I am not going to lie and say the unearthing has been filled with happy, fuzzy bunnies hopping through the meadow type of discoveries. Frankly, some of what I have unearthed has been painful, down-right frigging uncomfortable, and scary as hell. And you know what? I’m glad…yes, that’s right, I am glad!
 
From what I have unearthed I have learned a few things about me. I have learned that I can…
 
…rise above abuse and stop the cycle.
…be true to my own convictions and beliefs.
…let go of the importance of what others think of me.
…set intentions and move forward using my own strength as support.
…look myself square in the eye and know in my heart that I am A-OK and will always be A-OK.
…be grateful for all the experiences I have had…the good and the bad.
…forgive and let go.
…be ME!
 
Here is to the unearthing process! May it continue to support my going BIG!

%MeMeMeMe…FaFaFaFa%

I have been really lax and I am sorry. About two weeks ago Alex (the initiator of this fun MeMe) tagged me and then a couple a days ago Edward was kind enough to tag me. So now it is my turn to share a few cream of the crop, out of this world, “gotta get goals” goals.

 

My out of this world goals, or as I like to call them, intentions are…

 

1)      To help change this world one person at a time through my work. This is not only an intention, but a passion of mine. (As a matter of fact, I ran across this last night while surfing.) While my aim is not to gain recognition it would be wonderful to truly inspire people to see that they are amazing and have so much to offer.

2)      To have a syndicated column that supports and empowers people to live their most passionate and abundant lives possible.

3)      To obtain complete financial independence (meaning having more than enough money to live on for the rest of my life) so that I can continue to provide for my family and give back to my community. (For example, helping the homeless, giving to AIDS research, providing free coaching to people who wish to get from they are to where they wish to be.)

4)      To continue to expand my knowledge and keep learning.  Through learning comes growth and I never want to stop growing.

5)      To move into my dream home. (As a matter of fact, I wrote a very detailed description of it just yesterday.) This home is filled with peace and love, supporting the growth and well-being of my family and my dedication to keep walking my own walk.

 

Instead of tagging anyone in particular I wish to tag everyone who reads this post. It is my wish that you have fun drafting your list of amazing goals…even better, it my wish that you achieve them all.
