Before we get started today, I want to let you know that we will get into much greater detail on goal setting a little further on down the road. These first days of blogging are just to get you thinking about YOU!
Who are you vs. who you want to be.
What you have vs. what you want.
How you live vs. how you want to live.
What relationships you are in vs. what relationships you want to be in.
You get it. Maybe you have exactly everything you want and live exactly how you want to live. If that is the case then I want to meet you! Just about everyone has some place in their life that could use a little work or a little TLC. Well cheers to you!! You are in the right place to get it all figured out.
Because this process of creating your best life shouldn't be excessively painful, I decided to write about the fun part early on in the game. My friend and Coach, Cara Alwill Leyba has written three books that will change your life. RUN....do not walk...to Amazon and get the following books:
Sparkle
The Champagne Diet
Fearless and Fabulous
Anyone wanting a better life needs to own these and live by her principles.
One of the many outstanding ideas that I learned from Beautiful Cara is the importance of celebrating something every single day. You may be thinking, "Really Donna? My kid is throwing up, my dog pooped on the floor, I'm broke, my car is making a new noise that no one can hear but me, my boss is hideous and I feel fat. What am I going to celebrate?"
Well let me tell you, my little skeptic... There is something for you to celebrate every day of your life. So break open the bubbly, or your beverage of choice and check these ideas out:
1. Celebrate the fact that you got through a day with a sick kid! THAT is an accomplishment!
2. Celebrate the fact that you remembered to wear your sunscreen!
3. Celebrate the fact that you didn't run your boss over in the parking lot!
4. Celebrate the fact that you have a car and a job and a dog in your life!
And the biggest reason of all....
5. Celebrate the fact that you have reached a place in your life where you can recognize that a few things need to change.
6. Celebrate the fact that you now realize that YOU are in control of what is happening in your world.
How freeing is it to know that while everything in your life may not be perfect at the moment, you can change it and mold it and turn it into exactly what you want it to be. You have everything you need right now to turn it all around for yourself.
So YES YES YES!! Break out that beautiful glass of whatever you want and really feel good about what is about to happen!!!
.......what are you waiting for?
