Just Follow Directions

Rough day with some good spots. Lots of hard work. I'll probably need to connect into work tonight to get some more stuff done. It got me frustrated several times. Left work on time though, as I needed a break.

Here's the good stuff....Went to yoga class at lunch (at the work gym). It was fantastic. Lots of hip openers and knee strengtheners. I needed it as my lower back has been kind of painful. I got to wear the fantastic new outfit that I bought this weekend. And to top it all off, the stereo in my car that hasn't been working since Friday afternoon, magically started working again on the way home. It's had this message to "WAIT" when I try to turn it on. So I'd turn it off and think, "Oh well, it's still not working. Turn it off. See if it works later." This morning I decided to follow directions and WAIT. I just left it on. I don't know if it was asking for the security code by the time I got to work, but when I was leaving the office, it was asking for the code, accepted it, and then started to play beautiful music!

Now I need to go clean my house, do some work from home tonight (maybe with wine), and get up early tomorrow, to get everyone to train (Tom NYC), school, and then I'll be going in for acupuncture at 9 AM tomorrow.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head. I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true. This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either. Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure. I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week. This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
