ENERGY " Positive Grows Finally "

Last nights meal cooked from scratch with no processed sauce or microwaved spaghetti was a challenge and a success. I was so proud of myself, while my confidence grew in abundance. Julia Child's original cook book here I come! I can't remember the name from the movie, but it's something like French Cooking. * note to myself * must search this on the internet, unless one of you know the name and leave it in the comment section for me. Thanks heaps.

Now that I have the cooking side of my life moving in a positive direction that will eventually result in me going from boring cook to yummy cook, its time to concentrate on other areas of my life.

Old Me!

Normally involves waking up Saturday morning, farmville, facebook, bit of house work, hanging with kids and finally preparing to head off to work getting out of my pjs.

MY Personal Challenge stepped in this morning!

I was not keen let's face it and actually said to myself I will start tomorrow. We all tend to get in our rut and motivating out of it is hard, for me anyway. I dragged myself out of bed, looked in the mirror and said " two choices Bee, which is it ". "Ok! OK! I'm doing it". I not only fitted more in on this Saturday than I have in a very long time, I also learnt today do not encourage the gossipers by listening, walk away. I noticed while being polite and listening this was negative energy, politely excusing myself and walking away. I realized I needed all my energy for my personal challenge, not having it drained my gossiping crap.

Remembering Ron the lecturer from the course the other day, I followed his advice and implemented them into my shift at work today. I tell you what! it made such a difference. Simply changing my attitude turned a dull 4 hour shift into a pride driven 4 hours of learning and improving my skills. The smile planted on my face was enough for everyone to see I was happy to be there, and I was.

After today I would rather be tired from positive energy than negative.

I can see though I'm in the honeymoon period of my self challenge, its all new and exciting. I'm sure the excitement is going to wear off and I will be left with the decision to carry on or take the easy road and revert back to old habits. I pray I'm strong enough to push through this moment for I do see a more positive, less stressful, happier future by continuing this path I am making for myself.

Question for US!

How often do we put things off for later, instead of grasping the moment and just doing it?

Self Challenge! Go do something right now that has been put off..... When I finish here I am going to go and finally rid the sock basket of the missing pairs. I swear washing machines eat socks, don't you?

Chat tomorrow

BEE :-)


PS. I changed a few things in my poker game today, which I'm happy about. Ah will chat about it tomorrow. Sock basket awaits and I'm keen for bed.
