21 Days-Day 1, 2 and 3

I am doing Rhonna's 21 day challenge. The thought behind this is that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. Who would of thought? LOL! I of course have a huge MOUNTAIN of things I need to change about myself-who doesn't? But I figured I would concentrate on 3 things that pretty much set the scene for a lot of things to follow after that.

1} Be POSITIVE and Show ENTHUSIASM

I used to be a very optimistic, positive person, and in a lot of ways i still am. It's not like I go around like Eeyore with a little black rain cloud over my head...I am generally a happy person, I smile and joke a lot, everyday. The smallest things amuse me...I guess being positive as in I can make a difference, I can be a good influence in others lives...but it has to start with me. I also need to show more enthusiasm....the weird thing is that when someone does something great for me or gives me a compliment or a gift, I SO appreciate it and inside I am squealing with excitement, I just have a hard time bringing that across, I need to be visible so that I don't offend others.

2} Be on time!
I am so often late for things: late to take my kids to school, late for gym classes, late for important meetings, late , late LATE. It has to change! ha ha!!

3.} BE Consistent!!

I always seem to know what I want, it is just how I end up getting it or achieving it that is the problem. I do things in a very round about way sometimes, get side tracked, de-motivated and this ties in with point number 1-feel powerless and so get negative and then don't get anything done or little of what I plan to do! I achieve lot most days, but sometimes not the things I really need to get stuck into...It's a nice mixture of procrastination, despondence, and feeling over whelmed sometimes. I just need focus and to concentrate on one thing at a time until its done and then move on... This point is very general, but it applies to lot of things I am working on in this challenge, some of which are personal.

So with that in mind.. Day 1

Day 3

I'm having fun with it, and I know it's only the beginning, I have done the challenge before (see sidebar) so I know there are BAD and GOOD days and you just have to take each day at a time, you might fall, you might relapse...don't give up...keep going...I did it last time, and I know I can do it again and if you are a fellow 21-er, then you CAN do it too!
Today I actually was on time in getting my son to school-granted it helped my husband took my daughter to school, but I left early and he got there with time to spare instead of running like the wind as the bell rings!! -amazing and it felt so good because I got at least 30 minutes EXTRA out of my day!!
