DAY 23: I Have Received! And Afternoons

-
Day 23 is a great one!

For BabySteps we are starting a new group of routines; Afternoon Routines. These are individual chores that you need in your life, things that might benefit from being taken care of before you put your feet up after your workday. For me it's begin preparing for dinner. Chopping, mixing, marinating etc., so that food is just 20 minutes away or so.
For someone else it might be vacuuming,  or doing laundry or the mission for the day, or administrative stuff, 30 minutes office hour...

The great thing about routines it that they hardly 'cost' any energy once the routine has been established. So figure out what you never seem to get done, put it in her 5min a day, for example :)

Mike Dooley on his side is asking us to Be Grateful, so it's your basic gratitude list - but only because gratitude for what we have received is an easy way to get into the 'receiving' state of mind - which in turn automatically will give us more. So in the list of great things you have received, add a few that are still to come, that you are grateful for ;)

It's a fun exercise:

Today I am grateful for my sponsor, a wonderful friend.
I am grateful for my dear friend who wants to see me tomorrow.

I am grateful for the dinner I'm invited to at another dear friends house, and for the joyous company she keeps.

I am grateful my dog is in a home where she is loved and excercised, and I get a vacation.
I am grateful for my wings!
I am grateful for the healing work I have been blessed to do.
I am grateful for my beatiful home. ¨
I am graeful for my chicken and their eggs, that they are healthy and happy.
I am grateful for the success of my daughter and her safe happy life.
I am grateful for the whit of my son, and his successes and humor.
I am grateful for my garden.

I am grateful for my beautifu home and the decorating that was a treat to do.
I am grateful for my supportive family, who accepts me for who I am.
I am grateful for my art, the show we made, the response we had and the opportunities now open to me.

I am grateful for the open word in front of me.


Have a good day <3

DAY 24: Fan mail & Swish'n Swipe

-
So, guys - for those of you who have actually been following the project, I am sorry I got sidetracked again. I am hoping at some point I will learn to ride these cycle of introversion, spiritual expansion, physical, material expansion and retraction again... Until then, I just 'jump right in!'  :D For Infinite Possibilities  Day 24:  is a cute task - we are to write a letter to ourselves from an admirer of our future self when all our dreams have manifested. This is so much fun - first time I did it I felt awful about it; I couldn't write hardly anything about myself that didn't either feel like a lie or really tasteless self-glorification :D But I did find a few things, I could write focusing on the things I wish to learn for the future - and my present admiration for people that have those skills. And for the things I would do to help others and the world. That being manifested, there would be quite a lot to say thanks for! Baby Step 24  is an important one -

DAY 21: Playing Make Believe to Receive

-
So, today is day 21. Hope you guys have picked up a useful thing or two; I also hope you have stuck with the babystep routines listed... Today's task is one I did in the beginning; reading the Q&As. I took it to heart that all the negativity in my mind needed to be 'flywashed' away, with postitive stories and inspirational ideas. After a while of reading, that need subsided - if I'm more positive than the shares, then I think I've graduated :)  But read one or two, only as much as your heart can stay open for - and don't get lost and spend more than 5 minutes reading, either.  Baby Step 21 For Infinite Possibilities our  Day 21  is a challenge, at least for me who tend to be rather private around my dreams. We are to speak of our dreams - as if they had come true - with another person; a friend who also believes and works with thoughts becoming things . Listen to Mike Dooley in the video, and lets find the courage to do it. (Who on earth do I know I coul

DAY 14: Calendars :)

-
For FlyLady today we do  BabyStep 14:  It is a really easy task, read an article on Calendars.  But as you probably noticed by now, if you are sticking to the routines and doing the 2 minute hotspots, the 5 min room rescue, the 15 min declutter and now also the missions - then you will have your plate full anyway. I remember in the beginning the change was so wonderful and the relief of having surfaces to look at instead of piles was so huge I didn't want to stop cleaning and decluttering :) But then as the days went on, not everyday I got everyting done - and I had trouble remembering all the tasks and even if I had my list, I still got a bit stressed; I wanted to get all the tasks done in the morning so that I wouldn't forget. This of course was my perfection working. I have a build that makes it very difficult for me to establish routines - at all. So I have to invent - and reinvent - ways to have me look at what to do next. I cannot just remember, but I still think
