So I Change.

There comes a time when you have to move on.  
I'm choosing to FOCUS on what I need to do, to be a better and happier person.  I'm tired of crying, being filled with doubt, and being afraid.

These books are really hitting home with me! I'm tired of having "Fear & Doubt" as constant companions and I'm ready to move on. I'm done with excuses that keep "Procrastination" as another companion. In the SMART book, the question was asked "What do you do when all the excuses you used to not chase your dream are gone? What do you do then?" So, I ask this question: What do you do when you're tired of making excuses, you're tired of having Doubt, Fear & Procrastination as companions? The answer for me is: You move on and those people who choose to go with you are lifelong friends and people who love you. Those who choose to remain with Doubt, Fear & Procrastination, well, they stay in a miserable state. I am getting angry with my previous choice of companions and negative influences. I'm tired of carrying excess baggage, both mentally and physically. It's time to move on!

I'm choosing to FOCUS on what I need to do, to be a better and happier person.  

I'm tired of crying and being afraid.

 I am the author of the future pages of my book and I choose to be happy.

The Compound Effect, pgs 102-113 (Establishing a New Routine)

"Rise & Shine"

--Think of everything you are grateful for.  Attune the mind to abundance.  The world looks, acts, and responds to you very differently when you start your day with a feeling of orientation of gratitude for that which you already have.

--Send love to someone.  The way to get love is to give it, and one thing I want more of is love.  Give love by thinking of one person and send them love by imagining all that I wish and hope for them. 

--Think about, focus on the No. 1 goal and decide which three things to do on this day to move closer toward reaching it.

--Set timer for 30 minutes.  Read something positive, inspirational and instructional. 

--When alarm sounds, for one hour, take the most important project and work on it for an hour of completely focused and with no distractions.

--Take 15 minutes to calibrate your day.  Review three MVPs (Most Valuable Priorities) for that day and ask self "If I only did three things today, what are the actions that will produce the greatest results in moving me closer to my big goals?" 

--Reward yourself.  You can open your emails now, check Facebook.

--Get to work.  Work on MVPs.

"Sweet Dreams"

--How did the day go?
--What do I need to carry over to tomorrow?
--What else needs to be added?
--What is no longer important?
--Journal the day.
--Read something inspirational.  Focus on something constructive and helpful toward making progress on my goals.  The mind likes to continue to process the last information consumed before bedtime.

This is a format for something that I would like to incorporate into my day.
I may just do a daily or nightly journal post in this format.
