My most favourite tool she offers are the workbooks!
There is one for LIFE and one for BUSINESS and they take you through a bunch of (mostly fun) exercises to get you thinking and focused on what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it! I say mostly fun because some are actually quite thought provoking and pose a bit of a challenge. But a challenge is good for us all every now and then. It stretches your limits and moves you into new spaces! I love it!
My all time FAVOURITE activity in the LIFE WORKBOOK is to list 100 things you want to do in the year. I love it that much I kinda went a little crazy last year and came up with 156 things!!!
As it turned out however, an new little light wanted to be a part of this world and chose me as his mama. So while I couldn't be more thrilled about that, I must admit, he did derail many of my 2014 plans. I was either too sick or tired to follow my dreams, or I was just too busy managing other things to keep up with them.
That's why I only blogged ONCE last year... And I didn't even realise it until now! OOPS!
I was a little distracted!
So distracted that I only fulfilled 13 of my gigantic list!
- I managed 7 days of a photo challenge (GO ME!)
- I purchased new underwear (Nursing bras and stretchy belly knickers)
- I bought a jewellery hanger
- We made play dough once - no glitter though...
- Went swimming
- I have begun losing weight
- I helped my husband start a business from home (that's almost like doing it for myself!)
- Signed up to be an organ donor!
- Created a dream board
- Became more thoughtful about gratitude and the universe.
- Got my glasses fixed
- Bought a pair of jeans but they need altering!
- I raised $250 for the MS foundation but did not climb the tower.
Not an overwhelmingly long list checked off there! Oh well...
I can fix that this year though! Now that 2015 is here and my tiny guy is growing like a weed! I am excited to jump on in and make stuff happen in my life again!
