GET THE EDGE Day 3: So far, So Good =) Here's what we've done so far...

This is Day 3 of the Get the Edge program, and it's going great! There aren't as many people involved as I would've liked to have had, including one very important person, but those that are following are having great results so far!!

Day 1 was all about taking an Hour of Power to give time to ourselves to get up and MOVE, focus on the things in our lives that we're greatful for, and get excited about the day!! I think we each have our own way of doing this, and only we can decide what's going to work for us. For me, it's my daily workout. I am committed to one hour of focused exercise everyday. This is the best time for me to focus inward, gather my thoughts, and get geared up for the day! I'll concentrate hard, do incantations during Spin class, and yoga on Fridays will help to detox and cleanse my mind and body. Each day, I will JUMP out of bed, do 10 jumping jacks, and walk OUT of my house to take in deep breaths of fresh air. I don't know what it is for you, but I think that the first thing you do in the morning should be what puts you in the best mood to face the rest of your day. I love to dance, so I'm going to turn the music up and dance around as I gather everything together to leave for the gym. This will also be a great time to spend with my daughter. We love to sing and dance together. This will put her in a good mood too, and as all you parents out there are well aware...when baby is happy, we are happy. =)

Day 2 began the Results Workshop. ACTION is key, so Mr. Robbins has us be true to ourselves and come to terms with all the things that have been keeping us from accomplishing our goals thus far. 5 rationalizations that I use frequently are: 1.) No time, 2.) I can do it later, 3.) I'll start fresh Monday, 4.) This is the last time.., and 5.) It's okay because...

It's never okay. "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, then you haven't truly decided." Well, I have DECIDED to take control. One thing we learned in this results section is just how to do that. After pinpointing the rationalizations we make, we are to get disturbed with the things in our life that we're not following through on. I have plenty of those. From my finances to my body, my relationships to time management, lack of experiences with friends and lack of accomplishments, I plan to tackle these areas with full force.

I have committed to changing each of these areas of my life, and I'm going to focus on them, one at a time via this blog. I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve here, guys. This is the ultimate accountibility.
