Take charge of ME!

Today is an excellent day to look at your progress on your goals and resolutions for this New Year.... Now pause for a moment, did your inner critic just get activated? Reminding you of how little progress you have actually made? Perfect! Because right now in this moment is the perfect time to tell your inner critic to sit down, be quiet and take notice that there is a brand new sheriff, YOU, in town!

Right now instead of letting your inner critic run rampant over your thoughts and feelings take a few moments to ponder this:
In reality there is no right or wrong - there is only what is working for you and not working for you - and making adjustments accordingly.

So today for Me, I will remind myself in thought, verbally and I will put it on paper the things that are working for Me, all the ways in which I am moving forward to a better ME. I will jot down only ONE thing that is NOT working for Me - yes perfectionist I said only ONE. I will ask myself what adjustments can I make on this one thing to either make it work for my highest good OR to let it go? It might be an attitude adjustment, time management adjustment, it might be an awareness of inner resistance, might be making my workspace more cheerful or uncluttered, might be taking a quick break to de-stress, going out into nature to clear the cobwebs from my mind, might be limiting my time in a negative environment or with an emotionally draining person. I will put my solution skills to the test and find a way to make an adjustment that works FOR Me.

Then I will remind myself of my commitment to myself and all the things that are working - because I AM working them.

Now I will tell my inner critic "You're fired!"

I will Repeat this process as often as necessary and whittle my not working list down to almost nothing.

Affirm:

I am the C.E.O. of Me and I take charge of my life, my goals and my Mind!

I am going to have a take charge of ME Tuesday!

How about you?
