Over the weekend (days 4 & 5 of my project), I found that the morning affirmation went easier. My husband helped me come up with some of my good qualities, which is probably cheating on some level, but it helped to hear his thoughts. Then we shared five things we are each thankful for. It was nice.
I focused on diet for the weekend. I read information that links breast cancer to Type A blood type. According to what I read, there is a higher occurrence of breast cancer among women with Type A blood, and of those who get breast cancer, those with Type A blood tend to get a more aggressive strain. Since I have a personal history of breast cancer, and since my blood type is A, I kept reading. According to this doctor, the best thing I can do to protect myself against a recurrence is to eat soy. Well, I have not, in the past, been a soy girl, but I have decided to try to add a little bit of soy to my diet every day. It is not a big change, but my hope is that I will have noticeable results in my overall health.
Today, I put together my master notebook, with tabs for contacts, shopping lists, recipes, master task lists, calendar, etc. So far, there is nothing in it, but it certainly makes me feel like I have the potential to be organized. I put a page in where I list the stressors in my life, and my goals for changing. I even signed a contract with myself promising that I would not give up, that I will keep putting one foot in front of the other as I journey toward a simpler, more balanced life.
I have my goal. I have my contract. I have you, dear reader, my accountability partner. I feel like a warrior, dressed for battle. Lets go slay some giants.
