Challenge 48: Learn "Moonshine Lullaby" and dye hair

March 1, 2010

Tis a new month and 31 days more of fun challenges to be had. I've learned a lot since January; mostly how I choose to challenge myself and at times, choose challenges that are in essence, already letting myself off the hook. Sometimes I choose things I KNOW I'll get done, to add to my success rate. But sometimes, I choose things that I really should get done and am not so sure I will. This month, in addition to the 5 lbs I wanna lose, I want to try to push myself a little harder. Go for it more. It's a scary thought and writing it, I'm thinking "oh shoot...if I tell my blog, then that means I'm going to have to actually do it." I guess that's what the blog is for. Whether anyone reads it or not, it's a form of public declaration, if nothing else, to myself.

I had a lesson in pushing myself to get it done last night. I've been trying to work on this coaching one-sheet. It's basically just a "get to know me" sheet that I'll send out to people that I want to get in front of and talk about coaching (schools, career centers, etc). But right now, those presentations are pretty much hypothetical. I have no real plan of doing it. So even though I agreed with my coach to do a presentation outline and do this one sheet, I wasn't exactly sure who my target audience was. But, I feel like getting it done is going to come in handy at some point, and at the very least, pushed me to do it. Because let me tell you...after a long week, all I wanted to do last night was watch movies. BUT, I remembered that I agreed to get this done. So I left the movie, went into my office, and worked on it. Vaughn encouraged me. The other piece is that Vaughn is helping with some graphics. It is now, currently, in the graphics stage.

I awoke today with a phone call from Lily asking me to let the Ikea delivery people in her house. It was 8am and I was still sleeping, but I'm glad she got me up because I've already gotten a lot done since then. I lost my credit card so I had to take care of that and I chatted with an old friend, caught up on emails, downloaded a song I need to learn for practice tonight. Productive morning. I also want to dye my hair. But first things first, practice tonight.
