Thanks to a friend, I have discovered the Jillian Michael's podcast. Yesterday's podcast was about freeing yourself up. She was referencing material items like sports cars and wrist watches. But this made me think about how one could unload all of the negative thoughts and how freeing that would be in your mind.

So much of my typical day is spent being so hard on myself. I have such unrealistic goals, unattainable goals and expectations for myself that it's always a sense of failure. And when I hit that plateau weeks can feel like months and months can feel like eternity.

So what do I let go of?
1. Negative friends (And they can feel free to let go of me, too. I could be the negative one!)
2. Scale
3. Tempting snacks
4. Clothes that don't fit right and I know but insist trying them on
5. Unrealistic goals
6. Unrealistic expectations
7. Triple booking of events hoping that I can be all three places and make everybody happy
8. Clean bedrooms and bathrooms :)

If these things didn't matter, a burden would be uplifted off of my mind. I'm going to make a list and keep it by my computer so I can be reminded of this.

What can be added to enhance the quality of my day?
1. Time to relax, even if it is just 15 minutes
2. Work towards small and attainable goals
3. Seek out individuals who are positive
4. Hug my kids more often!
