Good Morning 2.12.2008

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and those who keep visual journals have found that statement to be very true. If you have tried a written journal and become frustrated for lack of the "right word," or if you want to take your journaling to another level a visual journal may be the answer.

Starts February 18

With one of my New Year's Resolutions being a goal of adding more "creative time" to my life, I realized that I needed a system to make finding and using items more suitable for my creative-personality.

Step-by-step, I began to work through my creative space, using new approaches and knowledge from my other organizational systems that had worked long-term. I adapted these to specifically match people when in the "creative zone," (who often do not want to stop and put the item back after use, or even put the cap on a glue stick)! In the end, I derived a "creative organizational system," that I will share with you over 5 weeks while and helping you to customize your own personal creative space.

"I'm getting better every day in every way" Joel Olsteen

Good morning! Cathy had just started the challenge when she heard this quote on television. I have heard variations of this quote in different affirmation workbooks and it truly is a powerful one to recite regularly.

Often, we tend to want to do so much, in so little time, we push and push and push and then get frustrated with what we perceive to be shortcomings or imperfections. These imperfections can quickly consume our focus if we let them. Of course, when we focus on our imperfections, we magnify them and we give them more power than they need to have.

None of us will ever be "perfect." But we can actively be "living the challenge," through daily improvement. Some days those improvements may be large, and sometimes they may be as simple as sharing an extra smile or word of encouragement with someone.

Your Turn:
Remember that when we give up judging ourselves, we have more we can give to others. When we focus on our imperfections we sap our own energy and have less to give to ourselves and to those whom we care for. Today, when you find yourself pushing yourself back instead of forward, recite the quote, "I am getting better every day in every way."

Your Affirmation:
I am getting better every day in every way.

Challenge Life!
