Day 47: Chalene Johnson 30 Day Challenge

Back to a regular week! The children are back at school and I am back to somewhat of a normal routine. Other than having my husband home today!

I decided to do Chalene Johnson's  30 Day Challenge to get organized! I was going to post my 2nd assignment online yesterday but got a terrible headache and sent myself to bed. 

I have already listed my goals under each of my tabs. As I mentioned in previous post - I am willing and able to learn from the best. I am going to reevaluate and maybe add or delete from those goals.

Assignment 1:  Think about what is important to you? – Completed!

Assignment 2: Priority Brainstorm: List all the areas of importance to you in your life today. Things to consider: What makes me happy, gives me pride, what I wish to be remembered for at the end of my life, what do I want people to know was most important to me. Consider what makes me feel good about myself and gives me confidence.

·        Family

·        Financial Security

·        Personal Achievement

Faith

·        Health/Fitness

Leading a positive life

·        Being actively involved and knowledgeable about our political system

Generosity/giving
Creative outlets
Maintaining friendships


*Marked the top five with a bullet.

Next, write down top 3 priorities in no particular order.

1.      Family

2.      Creating financial security for my family.

3.      Achieving personal goals I have set for myself.

Rewrite the above list in importance to me: 

1.      My number one priority is family.

2.      My number two priority is creating fiancial security for my family.

3.      My number three priority is setting specific goals and seeing those goals achieved.

Take the priority you’ve listed as number one and complete the following statements:

The reason why I have placed the greatest importance on this area of my life is because: my husband, children and extended family make me happy. They fulfill my life with their love, smiles and just being.

I will honor my number one priority by vowing to do my best to always:
Put them first before meaningless time wasters and cluttering my life with unnecessary stress.

The following action(s) would be inconsistent with my commitment to my number one priority:  not being present when I am with family because I am so concerned or stressed over what I have not been able to get done.

To live my life according to my number one priority I need to make the following changes:  Be scheduled, organized and focused on building my stay at home business opportunities balanced with family time.

As details as possible, create a TOP PRIORITY STATEMENT:

My number one priority is to be present and activity involved in the daily lives of my family. To ensure a balance between being present in my family’s life and building my business. My goal is to ensure my children have a happy, healthy, safe home where they feel they are loved and supported and will grow to be confident adults.

Day 45: Happy New Year

Yay! 2011!! I am going into this New Year feeling strong and ahead of the game. I have been working out for the last 45 days and making a To Do List everyday! I have gotten a lot done! If you read any of my post in the past you will know that I did not tell my husband about this blog and my goal to write a TDL for the next 365 days. This morning I decided to share that with him.

He has noticed the changes in me. I have told him many times about an exercise regime I was committed to doing for him to see me give it up a week or two into it. Now since keeping my TDL - he has seen me complete the first phase of ChaLEAN Extreme and move on to the second phase! He has not had to walk over a laundry basket in over 45 days!! In addition to many other achievements!

I wanted to share with him my goal because he is about to start a new position within his company. I know making a TDL everyday will help him to succeed in his new position beyond what he thinks is possible. We are a team. So I needed to share that information with him.

I also am starting today Chalene Johnson's 30 Challenge to get organized and learn how to properly make a TDL. Since I have been writing one for 45 days - I am in the rhythm. It is time to learn how to make the most out of that TDL. I will take any advice from experts I can! Expect to see on my TDL Chalene Johnson's assignments!
