Oh Saturday, I thought you would never get here. This week has been kind of crazy. Work has been picking up for me, I attended a wine walk in Gloucester Courthouse with my Mom this week (when Troy couldn’t make it), Doctor’s appointments, challenge group, etc. I am happy to have a day to lay around, relax, clean my nasty house (which if you know me, you know my house isn’t actually nasty or even that dirty to most people, but I am my Mother’s child in that I like a pristinely clean house at all times, so to me its gross), and listen to the rain fall.
This morning I wanted to come by and kind of do a little positive ranting; kind of a “pick me up” post if you will. This week in my challenge group the theme has been confidence and believing in yourself and talking yourself up, essentially. My fellow coach and I used a sticky note system. The challengers were asked to write down (like legit write down) a sticky note each day about something they were proud of themselves for, something they accomplished, something positive to lift themselves up; and we asked them to share it with the group. I also wanted to participate in this idea because it is something that I thought may help myself as well.
With recent events in my life that have happened, I have started to come to realize that: number 1, life is short. You need to spend it with the ones you care about most, doing the things you love to do most. Is it important to be healthy? Absolutely, but you shouldn’t become so obsessed with it that you lose sight of what is important. We are all in different areas of our lives with different obstacles to overcome; we are all doing our best. I have felt really good about myself this entire week, and I find that I am so much happier when I really talk myself up and it shows. It shows in how I carry myself, in my laughter, and in my love towards my family. I preach self confidence to all of my customers and challengers but it is something that I have always struggled with myself. But, I am really starting to take a hold of that and to learn from the own word’s that I preach.
So, I want to challenge you. I want you to do this sticky note challenge; not for me, but for yourself. Do it for a week, do it for a month, whatever works for you. Write down something daily that makes you feel good. Maybe you got up early that day to do your hair and it made you feel so good about yourself, maybe you said no to the Halloween candy sitting on your table, or maybe you just want to give yourself a pep talk. Whatever you want to write down, do it. And put those sticky notes where you are going to see them every single day. I have mine on my desk in my office. But maybe the fridge works for you or the bathroom mirror, or in your car.
Here were some of mine from this week:
I am going to continue to do this sticky note challenge for as long as I can because I love the concept and idea. We need to lift ourselves up, and lift each other up to! Write a sticky note for yourself everyday and then share it, you never know who you may be inspiring or helping.
I hope you guys have an amazing weekend! ❤
