Week 9

Dear Friends,

::That little urge that drives us...

This week is about transformation and it starts within; deep in the realm of the intangible.  The urge to change may appear as a thought, a feeling, or an inclination towards something different; something better.   However small the urge, it resonates throughout our entire being and reminds us that we do have control over we bring to the future.  Listen to that little urge, follow that little urge, and standup for that little urge because it will lead you to the future you want::

I encourage you -this week- not to ignore that one little thing that you feel the urge to change.

Goal 1: To change 30 lives
 ------------------_______________________________----------------- 

 

What have you done for me lately?: 

Last week's action plan was to research community service programs.  Even with my small win strategy last week, I did not prevail.  I’ve planned to complete my action plan this weekend with a friend so am excited to share my progress with you all next week.

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

Notes / sandwiches for less fortunate

Goal 2: To gain 10 lbs of muscle
 ------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?: 
  I love working on this goal every day.  Week 7’s action plan was to lift 5 days and Eat 5 meals.  I lifted 5 days, ate 5 times each day, walked every morning, played basketball at the gym, and did yoga. 

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

Lift heavy 5 days this week, Eat 5 meals

___________----------------------------------------------___________
Goal 3: to save an extra $2,000

------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?:

It's now been THREE full weeks with no cigarettes.  I feel absolutely amazing now that I don’t have to choke myself every day.  I think it’s important to keep the no nicotine goal moving forward for one more week.  If I had continued to smoke, I would have spent close to $90 by now.  Now I can put that money towards things that I actually need :).

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

No nicotine. 

___________----------------------------------------------___________
Goal 4: To develop and present a business plan to FIVE investors

------------------_______________________________-----------------  

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week was to do something//ANYTHING.  Apparently it wasn’t specific enough because I didn’t do something or anything.  An exercise in visualization this week will build some fortitude for the goal.

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

Imagine my future-self accomplishing this goal.  Write one page about what it feel like//how it will affect my life.

___________----------------------------------------------___________
Goal 5: To spend 200 hours learning and/or practicing Spanish

------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week's action plan was to read a minimum of five articles on Nulu.  I reached goal!  This week’s WAP will be more challenging, but I made sure to include a small win (read one page of the textbook lol).
