Just listened to the motivation recording and found it soothingly familiar. I had listened to it repeatedly from the programs introdution as I waited for the launch. I didn't have it saved to my iPad tho and so havnt heard it for awhile. Tonight I saw that carla had added it here on the site so I happily indulged. I'm realizing that I am changing in good and positive ways and even tho I fall into the same slumps, I'm pulling out with awareness and moving forward with pleasure! It was a great treat to hear it again and ...I'm READY FOR A CHANGE!

Look at me... I'm up for all day! Since my goal this wwek is to get up & get at it, thats a good thing. While I usually get up early enough, I sit around and before I know it, its late morning and I'm still in my housecoat and havnt fueled myself and I'm late with my day. So today...enough sitting... I'm on to my breakfast. Egg veggie scramble which I made double yesterday so I just need to heat it up

Feel funny I titled this thread starting with Wendys but that what carls said to do on our individual journeys. Feel free to jump in or start your own individual jpurney

Wendy,

This is exactly what I had in mind for the Individual Journeys section. It is a great place to document the progress (and inevitable setbacks that you will overcome) towards accomplishing your goal. Thanks for leading the way!

I'm interested to hear how your day goes. Keep us posted.

Well I'm on with my work day but decided to multiple task and play the sugar video while I work. So...well see how thAt goes.

I listened to it twice and got some work done! I just have to be carful not to run over my ear phone cord with my needle. ...wow...that's a big hunk of fat! The only thing I remember about 7th grade science is my teacher being mad at me for not paying attention. I wish I had applied myself more in those days, maybe it wouldn't be so hard now if I had. I was hoping this was the long version but I will find it in the emails as I'll be able to listen while I work...or is that not paying attention again? I don't need my hearing to work but it's pretty important I watch what I'm doing.

Wendy be careful! Don't listen to any relaxation tapes or heaven only knows what will happen with that needle!

I admire you and the changes you express, Wendy. I wish you well as you trek on your journey so ready for a change!

Lise- LOL. I know, I don't stay anywhere close to the office for the relaxation tapes. I like to go for s walk and find a quiet spot for that. I was able to listen to the sugar tape while working tho I'll need to give it full attention to get the most out of it. I was happy to have my work done by 2:00 today instead of 7:00 like yesterday for the same amount of work I even got to go outside and get some chores done. Surprised hubby with doing some of his I might even have time to take a walk with the dogs tonight after dinner. Change feels good and I'm motivated to feel good some more

Bekita...good to see you on again and thanks for the cheer :

Impressive day Wendy. I constantly struggle with the same issues. The whole day can go by as I ease into it. Yet, when I'm productive (with the right balance of fun and relaxation), I'm so much happier!

Keep posting- you are an inspiration!

Well yesterday wasn't such a good start but I put my sails up and woohoo...I sailed!

Carla it's hard to believe you have this same motivation problem, you are so focussed and passionate in all you do...you are my inspiration! Thank you for being so open, its good to know I'm not alone and even smart people who have it together sometimes struggle. The difference is, most would never admit it or bother to help the rest of us. The truth is, most would use it against us to make themselves look high and mighty. Yours is a very unique and special gift....thanks for sharing!
