21 Day Challenge
Today is the first day of my 21 day challenge. Shawn Achor - Good Think Inc. claims that it is possible to rewire the brain with these 5 easy steps: 3 Gratitudes - each day list 3 things that you are grateful for (3 new things each day); journal recording - write about one positive experience in the last 24 hours; exercise because it helps to produce positive energy; meditation because it helps us to focus when we live in a world of constant stimuli; and finally random acts of kindness: open your email and send a note to someone that you are grateful for.
Shawn claims that by doing this 2 minutes a day for 21 days the brain will start to respond to the positive change thereby creating lasting positive change. The small changes will ripple onward.
3 things I am grateful for:
1) my family: my children the simple fact that they are all present in my life; 2)the close relationship I have with my siblings; 3) the fact that my husband is a steady force of peace and serenity in my life.
Journal entry:
Today, Caleb went to ask Hilary's Dad for her hand in marriage. When he told me that he was going to propose to her in Paris I wondered if he would be old-fashioned and ask her Dad but I didn't want to initiate the conversation. It was a sweet gesture and reminded me of how sweet, tender and endearing my son can be. I love his passion and his sense of chivalry. Moreover, I love him!
Meditation: I will give it a go for 5 minutes tonight.
Random Act of kindness - I will send a note to two people today.
