Try Not to #Worry. Worrying Takes…

March 12, 2015 | MilesInAmerica

Today’s Challenge: Try not to worry. Worrying takes away all the good in your life right now.

I had to learn this lesson while I was trying to save my Pug from cancer. (She’s still doing great!) I’ve also had to learn this over the years while going through major life changes. Easier said than done. I’m going through another life transition… they just keep coming… I don’t like change… 🙂 But this time, I’m using exercise to help me get through it. I figure worry is nothing but pent-up nervousness, frustration and fear of the unknown–basically, worry is nervous energy that needs to be released. A walk helps, lifting weights even better, but today I’m going to try to go for a run… This should be interesting! LOL I’m not much of a jogger, but I have the need to run off some of this sad, negative energy. I’m hoping I can do a half mile to start. Wish me luck! 🙂

Write Down 3 #Goals You Want to #Achieve

March 10, 2015 | MilesInAmerica

Today’s Challenge: Write down 3 goals you want to achieve today. And maybe do this everyday. 🙂

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the things I need to get done. When I make a long list or worse, when I don’t write down any of my need-to-do tasks, I can feel hopeless and typically I’ll just say, “screw it all” and I’ll watch TV or read a book or talk on the phone or google stuff or do any other distraction I can come up with just to avoid my overwhelming list. Yikes!

So, I’ve started this ‘3 Goals a Day’ thing and I’m loving it! Instead of making another list on paper, I’m using a white eraser board, and I put it where I can see it often. I just pick 3 things I need to get done. I make sure they are doable, and I make sure to start with the most important tasks first.

So far so good!

Let me know your tricks to getting things done. 🙂

Focus on Your Good Qualities

March 5, 2015 | MilesInAmerica

Today’s Challenge: Focus on your good qualities.

Change your negative self-talk into positive self-talk. If you’re tempted to put yourself down, turn it around and pick yourself up instead. This will help you see the good in other people, too. 🙂 We all win when we stay positive… and it starts with how we feel about ourselves.

Stand for Something, or You’ll Fall for Everything

Today’s Challenge: Stand for something, or you’ll fall for everything.

Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Don’t let others sway you into being them. Stand tall and be proud of who you are and how you feel. It takes strength to be different and disagree. The more we know ourselves and the better our self-worth, the easier it is to stand up for our truth.
