Catching Up After a Year

Hey everyone!

It's been a long long time since I decided to make some time to write about my life but I've had a tremendous year and I feel like it will not be fair for me to hold back and not share with you all what's been going on with me.  I've got a few trips to fill you in on, a few life altering decisions which I've recently made and have no regrets about at all and a few announcements to make to get you all back in the loop. I've also developed some new interests and passions in my life and plan on taking this blogging thing to the next level by actually creating a few new blogs because there's just so much to write about each topic. Stay tuned...

I start with a rundown of two of my latest trips to Europe. I always write about my trips so it's about time that I fill in the blanks about these cause they were indeed FANTASTIC trips.. Then I'm going to share with you some life changing decisions I've made about my new career path. Then there are some personal and family updates to share and lastly, I'm going to be asking for feedback from you all as I slowly work to reposition myself as a woman looking for not only success, but fulfillment in my life.

My 100 Day Challenge Has Begun

On February 1st, My 100 Day Ultimate Challenge began!!

Jumpstart 2009,

Hold myself accountable

Motivate my team

Build my business

Change my body

Be a better person

The challenge: To be fully committed to improving myself physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually.

For the next 100 days – I challenge myself to:

1. Take my business and career to the next level, set a new standard, and step up..
2. Be as healthy, vibrant, and energetic as I can be
3. Do a random act of kindness
4. Experience a magic moment and give gratitude.
5. Give myself a gift, do something for myself every day. Self improve and be fabulous!

Some thoughts that were put into setting my goals (which I want to share with everyone who may want to do something similar!):

Business

This can be anything from increasing finances to better time management, set short and long term goals, set one small goal per day and achieve it and you will be amazed at the results from it compounding.

- 100 days from now what improvements do you want in your career or company?
- What obstacles can you see that you will face?
- What are the solutions that you can devise now, so when the time comes you are prepared?
- What superfluous activities and meetings will you simply say no to or delegate so that your energy and time are managed more efficiently?
- What is the new standard that you are going to set for yourself, and your business?

Write short and long term if you’d like, as detailed and specific as possible, and as many as you’d like so you can check off for that sense of accomplishment as it begins.

Health

Everyday make at least one healthier choice to improve your overall wellness. Many of us have identified our obstacles from our Tony experiences, so now is a time to reaffirm our progress and condition our new standards into our lives. 1 day of skipping the cookies doesn’t always make the difference, but 100 days definitely does.

- What areas do you want to improve your health?
- Do you want more energy?
- Do you want more definition?
- Do you want to lose weight?
- Do you want a better sex life?
- What specifically are you going to do to achieve these goals?
- What healthier foods will you choose to nourish your body with?
- What activities do you love to do that will help you feel more alive?
- What has stopped you in the past and what will you finally free yourself from to achieve the health and happiness you deserve?

Emotional & Spitual

Magic moments are everywhere, find the beauty in another person, be appreciative of a gorgeous sunset, dance in your living room, laugh until you cry.

- This can be as simple as a smile to a stranger, a phone call to an old friend, or a random post with a compliment to someone on this site. Anything that would bring a smile to another person.
- Is there someone you have not talked to in a while that a simple phone call could make their day?
- A smile or a joke can be infectious, could you see the benefit of giving a little extra kindness to the cashier or parking attendant?
- Is there someone you could forgive, a burden you could let go of?
- Is there a letter or card that you could write that would inspire another person, or make their heart smile?
- Is there a random act of kindness or good day that you could accomplish that would help another person?
- I believe religion is a very personal matter so all I ask in this challenge is that you spend 5 minutes a day being truly grateful and appreciative for all the amazing gifts in your life.

Give Yourself A Gift and Be Fabulous!!

- Walk by the mirror naked and tell yourself how sexy you are!
- Read a book that could inspire you, or help you to grow in any level.
- Read a blog that may have a piece of insight that could help you in a time of need.
- Take a bubble bath , dance in your living room, dance down the street who cares!
- Listen to your Tony tapes.
- For men, do something masculine and meaningful, ride your motorcycle, race a car, go to the gym, go fishing, have a poker night, do what boys do.

The purpose of this challenge is to improve ourselves, to love, to laugh, and to live!!

Feel free to share your goals, and how I might be able to help support you in achieving them.


Cheers!
