Day 2:: The {21} Challenge 09.09.09

Day 2: I LOVE today: it's 09.09.09. It just feels lucky today, doesn't it?

So? 9 questions:
1. How was your Day 1?
2. Did you make it?
3. Did you stay strong?
4. Did you take that step towards your goal?...towards the stronger YOU?
5. Did you make the time?
6. Do you feel good?
7. Do you feel the POWER inside of you?
8. Did you share this with others?
9. Do you feel strong?
YES!

Today's quote is: "A journey of a thousand steps begins with a single step."Lao-Tzu
Remember that. Take the next 21 days one step at a time. I've thoroughly enjoyed hearing what your goals are. I know, some are very personal & so you don't want to share them online. But, I've appreciated your emails & your commitments! Keep them coming! We are all on a JOURNEY that will strengthen who we are....who we are becoming...and who we will become.
And.. a note: If you missed the first day here, no worries. You can always jump in. Any time.
Simply stick to the 21 days consistently and you will see the changes!

This whole challenge is for you to enjoy the process of change. I believe we are here to become our best selves, to live our best lives. And what is my best may not be your best. That's ok. We are all different. We all succeed in different ways...we all have a different recipe. So, do this your
way.
You can share your links to your art journals here.
You can share links to your blog so we can support you.
You can send an email to me & let me know how you are doing.

The point is: you need to be accountable for your goal. Choose how you want to do it & do it.

TIME is always a factor, I get that....believe me. But, tailor this to your needs. Decide how you can do it, even with the time factor. Because, let's face it...21 days is going by no matter what.
And we will never 'have time' unless we make the time to commit change.

This is the journey.
And you are taking it one step at a time.
So, I wanted to show you what became of my creative exercises I did yesterday in prep for my {21} Challenge journaling. This actually ended up being my Day 1 & I'm going to print it out & hang it. See? It is probably different than your Day 1 & that's OK...as long as we both did it!

Anyone want it? In celebration of 09.09.09 how about the first 100 people to download can print this off, too! frame, put in a book, whatever....enjoy!
**ETA: See? it IS your lucky day...next 100 people to download...it's yours!

**another ETA:
no. way! glad you likey! ok...again...for the next 100 people... here it is. hey. we only have a few hours left of 09.09.09, right? enjoy!
Have a fabulous Day 2...you can do it!

  7. Thank you for your inspiration. The universe works in just the way we need it to. I recently started a journey of my own forming one habit at a time, and being conscious that baby steps are good steps. I haven't visited your blog (or others) for a long time and today I popped on. Your eloquent words are just what I needed to hear (read). Thank you a thousand times! I am not the most talented or artistic but I am definitely going to join in and see where the process takes me.

  29. First day went great, I got out of the sofa and out for a walk! Today it was raining - a lot. I still got out of the sofa and out for a walk. At the end milk acid was about to bring me down, and I thought about your day 2 encouragement: One step at a time. And I said to myself: Don't stop. Take shorter steps when needed, but don't stop. And I didn't stop. I got home, and my boys gae me credits for going for a alk even today. And I felt strong. and powerful. I can do this! Thank you, Rhonna! :D Hugs, Irene
