my reality (30 days later)

As some of you may recall from an earlier blog post - I've been keeping a daily log since Oct 4th. The log captures at least one thing that went well in my day, something positive that I can reflect back on and capture as a good thing for that day. I told myself I wanted to do this for at least 30 days - after all, if I'm Coach giving similar "assignments" out to my Clients, it's only fair that I see how it is to keep a daily log.

My biggest headline from this exercise? That it's true: we really do create our own reality.

I only re-read my list two times over the month long period -- once when I was somewhere around halfway or three quarters of the way through the month and then now after 30 days (34 days technically as I've written up to and including today). And wow, it's so powerful to read something 1) positive and 2) well positively rewarding and x that by 34 -- HUGE. I feel like I had the greatest month ever. For real. But the truth is, if you asked me right now -- how was last month? I'd be inclined to say - more of the same, working hard at growing my business, still single etc. So not necessarily negative but more just flat. When in reality - a ton happened last month, per my daily log, and it's only now -- having it written down and also in a list day after day that I see how much I might overlook without even meaning to. AND how easy it is to fall into our habits / patterns of how we typically view things. So I think I look at things in a pretty black and white realistic manner -- not negative but not always positive. Yet I pride myself on the ability to find a silver lining in about anything (and as a result helping others to do so) - but as I always say, sometimes even I need some help with that.

That said, I plan to keep up this daily log. I can only imagine how empowering it will feel after another 30 days. And I invite you to join me - if you haven't already - and let me know what you find. Leave a comment below so you too can inspire others. And lastly - it's the weekend -- go do something you love!
