Three Good Things - Day 1

everyday do something to move yourself in the direction you want to go... make the time.. 

Today I went to a lecture on successful women leaders.  One of the suggestions was to embrace optimism.   For those of us with natural pessimistic tendencies, an exercise was suggested:   every night think of 3 good things that happened that day, and 1 bad (a ratio of 3 to 1).   Keep doing it and you will start looking for the good things everyday.  

Here are mine for today:

The good:
- feeling of accomplishment that I made the list of books I own that I want to read
- committed to leaving work at a reasonable time to get to spin class and did it
- starting this blog to track the 'New Me' Project

The bad:
- wanting to stab myself in the eye during an endless meeting on mindless minutia at work (note:  this could probably be my bad every week day).




What do you want to change today?
