Challenge 44: No complaining

February 25, 2010

Wow...is it already the end of the month? February just flew by. And I'm a bit scared about my monthly goal (lose 5 lbs...eek!). I guess I have three days.

After a lot of reflecting and thinking about the "doing" vs. "being" yesterday, I feel like things just felt easier. I felt better, not only about my day, but about the future. I found myself worrying less, and trusting more that things will work out the way I want them to. That I can have it all. All that I want. And that all I need to do is keep working hard and taking steps in the right direction. I can't tell you how much more of a relief that was than walking around as a worry-bot. I began noticing the trees more, I looked inside the windows of a house for sale, I took a different route on my walk with the dog. I felt happier.
I also had more time yesterday. I didn't have to go to "work" (nannying), although I did a lot of work yesterday. I had time to get on my pod (certification) call, do some homework, answer tons of emails, work on my bio/one sheet, help Vaughn make his new show outfits (Dewey...I'm not telling what they are until they're done), cook dinner, take the dog out, do some cleaning, and read. Phew. What a fun day. So lesson here is that time plus not worrying equals a lighter, more fun day. AND, I was able to get some exercise (although I had to cut it short due to a freak accident with my boots that had me take a pretty bad fall and cut up my knees).

Today is Thursday, which means I have a full day of coaching. Hooray! I also have some time in between my first chunk of calls and my last chunk, so I'm excited to see what that time will equal today. I'm also going to focus on not complaining about my knees. They're pretty bruised up and it's painful to walk, but I'm finding myself making a bigger deal out of it than it is. So no more complaining today.
