If the world ends though, I know who to blame! :) As a To Do List addict myself, I'd love to see where that exercise takes you. If the world ends though, I know who to blame! :)

I'm getting better at unloading encumbrances (many of which really belonged to other people all along), but when I look at my "to do" list, I still wonder - what would happen if I said "to heck with this." So, if I pretended to be completely un-burdened, as appealing as it is... I don't know. I feel like my life would unravel. This gives me something to think about. Maybe I can try it a few hours at a time. (Whining) "OOOOOOhhhhh, this is haaaaaard…"

No? Okay. Welll... "motivated, organized, focused, fearless." That's my imagination and I'm sticking to it. Can I just say "Wolverine's girlfriend"?

No?

Okay. Welll… "motivated, organized, focused, fearless."

That's my imagination and I'm sticking to it.

By choosing my attribute for that particular day I was able to sculpt my day into being who I wanted to be. It made it that much easier to pick up the phone and start my cold/warm calls. So, what would I most like to pretend to be now? Fearless. Focused. Balanced. Reassured. I would like to brainstorm to find when I can make time for me and what I could do in that time, and then do it. Breaking down my Big Goals into little ones, and taking them step by step. Working on one task at a time. Visualizing what my life would be like when I become a full-time coach, and bringing up those thoughts when I become doubtful or scared. Growing my Positivity notebook, full of good things that others have said about me. I'm going to start pretending right now.
