Success List for Sunday, March 17

1. I completed a committment I made even though it was tough and even though I wanted to give up. I completed it with excellence. I'm proud of the work I did.
2. I gave myself time to take care of myself today. Not perfectly, but mostly I listened to what I needed and did it. And I have a plan for doing more of this, getting more rest, over the next few days.
3. I meditated and took care of my mouth today.
4. I allowed myself the pleasure of listening to Brene Brown and really feeling what her words brought up for me. I realized that I've been allowing myself to be more vulnerable over the last few months and I felt proud of that.

Success List for Sunday, March 3, 2013

Here's what I did amazing today:

1. I tried a new recipe, chicken tortilla soup.
2. I put some of the new chicken to use today.
3. I had some new ideas about products I can create and sell.
4. I started my newsletter and I like where it is going.
5. I'm doing a great job updating my business processes as I work through them.

I had a breakthrough tonight. I realized that the calm and peace that people tell me they hear in my voice comes from my years of meditation and spiritual practice. There is so much that I have already figured out. I get distracted by the lawn mower effect in my own life and forget that I am actually doing very well. Sure, there are things I'm working on. But the largest part of what I am isn't broken. In fact, it's pretty amazing.

Remember this!

Success List for Satuday, March 2, 2013

It's day 1 of a working weekend, but it's been a really good day. I worked until I was tired, and then rather than go to bed, I went out to run errands. And now I'm going to bed.

Here's today's list:

1. I not only feel how things are improving, I can see real evidence of it in my business planning.
2. I got the idea to reach out to put ads on art blogs, found some people to try, and then emailed a dozen as a start. I think it's a great idea.
3. I found some washi tape on clearance!
4. I was able to get a lot of groceries without spending a lot of money. I got more than 10 pounds of chicken for just about $5. 
5. I've found a stack of recipes that I can use to start cooking the chicken.
6. I caught myself a few times today running into a whirlwind of vinegar. And I pulled myself out each time.
7. I have been thinking about not saying anything to my client about the rate issue. Instead, I'm putting the energy out there for her to expand rather than contract.
8. Whatever my client does, I know that I'm expanding and I'm going to be great.
9. I've decided to expand my ebook course to 4 sessions and I'm going to charge $199 for the course. I've got ideas about what I'm going to put into the expanded time, too.
10. I feel such energy around the art journals. I feel so confident that they are going to really take off.
11. I spent a little more time picking up and organizing the supplies in the family room. It feels grat to have so much accomplished.
12. I got great customer service tonight at the grocery and I told the front end manager about it.

The Importance of Daily Habits & Clarity

Today, I read something that really made me think. It's a quote that says something like: It's not the things you do occasionally that matter. It's the things you do every day.

That really emphasizes the important of new habits. I'm putting some great new habits into place. But I really want to do more. And those words inspire me to do more. To do all I can see I can do.

There are a few things that I have not put into place that I know would help me. I'm not really sure why I'm so reluctant. I'm not so much resistant as reluctant. It's my conditioned mind clinging to the comfort zone. I see that. And I'm grateful that I feel its so easy to make the best choice.

And I will. I'm starting now.

I'm a little confused about my weight loss amount. I can clearly see where I avoid the stark truth around this area. That changes today. I see the truth, and I'm adjusting to focus on it and speak it clearly. I'm staying with the WW app numbers, but I clearly know that I started lower. My goals are set for the true starting number. That's how I'm going to keep it clear.

It's interesting to see how I get fuzzy about this issue. I wonder if I do the same thing in other areas.

I can feel that I'm making more money right now! It feels awesome. I know I can keep finding ways to make even more as the weeks and months go by.

Here's my list for today:

1. When I realized I was double booked for next week, I called and moved my client appointment. And I had a good call with my client.
2. My free consultation was a huge success! People need three things: practical information, a vision, and encouragement. I'm so fortunate that I can give them all three.
3. I spent time thinking about new ways to advertise my business. I experimented with a few Facebook ads. I'm going to run a few of them.
4. I decided to stay home from my event tonight because I really wanted to do some things for myself. I invested the entire evening and got so much done and organized. It took much longer than I suspected, but now I can get right to everything. And I have a system for holding things that need to be put away.
5. I paid all of my bills!

Success List for February 28, 2013

My success list for today:

4. I finished the work for the client project. It was a day late, but it was done with excellence.
