This morning as soon as I woke up, I knew the first decision I’d have to make was to go to yoga at 9:30 am or 6 pm. When I opened up my phone and saw October 1, it was like a switch flipped. I hopped out of bed knowing it was going to be 9:30. There was an energy about the universe that told me something was changing.
I arrived at the 9:30 class, hopping and ready to go. Then I saw the teacher was my dear friend, Shirley. Now I knew why I was supposed to come at 9:30. Shirley always has the room perfect. Shirley always reads the needs of her students with uncanny precision. I always have the best mind and body class when Shirley teaches, and today was no exception. I left that studio with more energy than I ever have. I wish Shirley could be my Monday morning person forever.
Change certainly was in the air. After yoga, lately, I’ve been too spent to do anything but go home. Not today. I went to the grocery store, the post office, and Dunkin Donuts and knocked off goals I’ve had for the last week – all done today. Coming home was no exception. The energy flowed. I had lunch and a brief rest and then was back at completing tasks that were on my mind for weeks, in record time. Things got cleaned, washed and organized. Bills got paid. Goals were set in every area of my life. Now, at 9 pm, I stand amazed at what I accomplished today.
My 100 day challenge is amazing. I took the weekend off and resumed it today. This is what I learned:
Saturday – Day 5 – The Power of Deadlines
-When you set a deadline and expect to get your goals accomplished – guess what? They get accomplished quickly!
Sunday – Day 6 – Discipline Your Behavior
– Every act of self-discipline you engage in moves you closer to your goals, and every exception takes you off course.
-If you are ahead of target: You are a seller.
-If you are below target: You are a buyer.
– If you do not discipline yourself, you are sure to be disciplined by others.
– Freedom is the result of personal triumph over excuses and bad habits
-To get consistently positive results requires consistency. (Something I’ve always believed strongly!)
Today – Day 7 – Results Are Everything
– Don’t tell me what you are going to do, show me what you’ve already done because ……the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
JUST CHANGE!…what you think, say, and do.
Today’s challenge was to examine my results since starting the 100 day challenge and find clues to what I did right, what I did wrong, and what I was thinking, and then list what I was going to change to get better results today.
I know. A lot to be reckoned with. But you know what? It’s energizing and it is truly making a difference.
And so, as another day goes by, “this girl is on fire”, October 1, I’m making some changes, and….I have written.
My new theme song: (amazing how new music comes out at just the right moment) by Alicia Keys. Get it now and set yourself on fire……
