It's been a while since I updated this blog. But it isn't because I haven't been working on my AW goals. I have been busy accomplishing several of the assignments.
I made up the "What I want to be" career list. One of the things on my list was a manicurist. So the little thing I did for myself was go get a manicure. That of course won't last long before I get paint or ink or some other goop all over my pretty nails. But I sure had fun spoiling myself with that one.
I also sat down one morning and wrote out an affirmation 10 times. And each time my censor blurted out something negitive, I wrote that down too. Then, of course the challenge was to counter each blurt with a new affirmation in it's place. That's was a real toughy on a couple of them. But I managed to stick with it until I had accomplished it. Now I've been referring back to those affirmations as I write my mps.
When developing my Monster Hall of Fame I found it somewhat difficult to "travel" to a specific time when the monster phrases were used. And this exercise was rather eye-opening as one of my monsters is a dear friend whom I never really suspected as falling into this category. And another thing that seemed strange to me was that I have been one of my worst monsters. Self doubt about the quality of my work has plaqued my inner thoughts and held me back far too long.
After this exercise I had another list of affirmations I could use. And they have truly been helping me let loose of some old thought patterns and I'm getting into the groove of more posative self-talk. :)
So I continue on my path and am enjoying the Artists Way thus far.
