Attitude

Well, I'll be damned.  A better attitude ... a better day.  I'm especially glad I stopped my attitude over those "situations" that got my panties in a bunch.  It's a weight off my shoulders and as soon as I let it go, it seemed so small.  Thanks Jim Rohn (again!).

GNI at a pottery painting studio was FUN!  My food was a hit (if I do say so myself).  I made a "gourmet" sandwich on french bread and a nibbles to go with it.  I painted a small bowl for my project - for candy or nuts.  Now that I see all the creative options, I think it would be super fun to do it again.  I made a quick, easy decision last night because I was hosting and didn't have as much time (and I'm horribly "craft" challenged).  I also like supporting local business.  It's owned by an artist couple and they made it feel comfortable and welcoming AND do-able!

I'm going to re-listen to some Tony Robbins today.  Self-help stuff was a big part of My Happiness Project (MHP) last year and it made more of a difference than I gave it credit.

Another thing I did during MHP last year was have little life experiments here and there.  Testing the water.  See how something felt.  Giving myself a quick challenge.  Like doing something nice for a stranger (compliment, buying coffee, etc).  Or learning something new.  Yesterday, I decided to have a mini-challenge.  I have 5 days in a row of "something" social that lends itself to drinking.  I want to see how I feel (physically, mentally, etc) if I CHOOSE not to drink over these 5 days.

Is it empowering?  Did I "miss out?"  Did I still have fun?  How did I feel in the morning.  You get the idea.  TWO down, THREE to go.

I'm reflecting HARD on social drinking.  I don't drink too much in that I have a drinking problem. But, I don't feel my BEST when I drink regularly.  Yet, it's become such a part of WHAT I DO when I'm in a social setting.  Even if it's only a glass of wine.  That's giving me pause.  It's not necessary.  I need to change the narrative.

Today is a busy day.  Shopping for the BIG meal on Sunday.  Tons of Releash stuff (better charge my phone).  Packet pick-up for our 5k tomorrow.  Plus my self-care.  On that note - off to listen to TR.  Later gators!
