Rewrite My Story - The Key is to keep positive

RSS Archive

For the next 6 months I am going to take a step everyday to Rewrite the Story of My Life. I want to encourage people to do the same by sharing what I am doing to change all the aspects of my life that aren't "written" exactly the way that I want it to be.

My blog is inspirational but most importantly honest. Any bad days, set backs and achievements need to be documented because it's importantly to be honest about where you're starting. Otherwise you have no hope of achieving the life you want.

The Key is to keep positive

It’s easy to give up and get discouraged when you have a day, especially one where you feel like you let yourself down. Yesteday was one of those days for me. I made a few negative comments about my appearance, spread some gossip about a coworker and complained about Christmas music. The positive aspect is that I caught myself each time and was able to recognize what I said instead of it being automatic like it used to. However, I do think Karma was mad at me because I caught my fingernail on a chair and I bent it backwards. The band aid on my finger keeps reminding me to keep my changes in the front of my mind =)

The other thing I have to keep reminding myself is that rewriting a story isn’t just a change here and there. Oftentimes author’s change things and then have to go back and edit it once again. Then again. And again. However, the changes are having an overall positive effect on my life. Each day I keep applying the “rewrites” it gets a little better. Today I got up and made my list for the day and I have already marked off 2 of my 5 to do’s for the day! I also ate pretty well yesterday and so far I’m on track for today. Getting ready for ISA shake number two.

With everyone who’s gotten sick this year I’m so thankful that I found Isagenix. My parents, sister, husband and I are all on the products and none of us have gotten our yearly cold or the flu. That in and of itself says a lot! Now that I’m physically feeling better I’m going to continue working on my health and seriously start building my Isagenix business.

Which brings me to my change today. I’ve always been afraid of “selling” something because it makes me uncomfortable when people sell me. Instead I want to make an impact on people’s lives the same way Isagenix has done for me. I think this could be a large part of doubling my income in the next 6 months. However, I simply want to lead by example and have people ask what’s different in my life. By becoming healthier and being positive I think that everything will fall in place. The company believes in changing lives and for what I’m wanting to accomplish at this point in my life it’s the right step.

I also want to work harder on my freelance work. It’s going to be part of my not procrastinating as much. When I really want to impress people I hit road blocks and I put off getting things done. By focusing on the goal and using past changes to believe in myself I think that my other business will begin to thrive as well.

Any suggestions for helping build either business or staying on track with my changes?
