Good Morning 2.16.2008

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.

"A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day." - Albert Schweitzer

Good morning! Those of you who have taken the Change Your Life Challenge program know that I believe, "Just because our lives are complicated doesn't mean our systems have to be!"

Today's quote helps me to realize that our lives don't need to be complicated either. Schweitzer has articulately stated what it means to have a "fulfilling day" regardless of what happens between sunrise and sundown.

Somewhere along the way, we have learned to make our days more complicated than necessary by focusing on things that are not within our control. Or we spend a large part of our day sidetracked by the past or pre-occupied with the future. If we keep our hearts and minds focused on the day at hand and "give it all we've got," then we can rest soundly at night.

Your Turn:
Today, push back thoughts of yesterday and worries about tomorrow. Stay focused on the day and moments at hand. Give it all you've got--then sleep soundly tonight.

Your Affirmation:
I give each day my all.

Challenge Life!
