Ok, it's Wednesday again and that means wellness. Words that come to mind are health,spirituality, strength and balance. It also reminds me to spend some time JOURNALING! OH...you thought I was off that topic. Not on your life. Thought I'd revisit you and your progress now that you've had many weeks to spend with your journal open and focusing on thankfulness, what you are most greatful for, your epitaph, (I know, still sounds a bit morose, but it's oh so effective) and just getting more comfortable with being quiet, still and introspective...relecting on your life. The things you are proud you've done and the things you'd like to change. Well, tonight I thought I'd help you out just in case you have gotten a bit stuck. Below you will find a worksheet that after you have completed it, you will use what you have learned about yourself to create your own PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT! Why not. Companies do it and we are more important to our mothers, sisters, brothers, fathers....our children and our neighbors and friends than oh say the Coca Cola Company. So, don't say I never gave you any writing support....your homework is below. Take a week to complete it or do it all in one sitting....but do it! Remember, what's the difference between ORDINARY people and EXTRAORDINARY ONES? Extraordinary people are the people who are willing to do the things that others just won't. SO...what's it gonna be? I think having a personal mission statement writing bold and proud in the front or back cover of your journal is a great way to find it quickly each morning as you get prepared to face your day and read to remind yourself of who "this day you will choose to be"!
Until tomorrow,
Candace
