7 Dyas Closer To A Positive Mind

Day seven of twenty one.  Holy cow you guys I'm already a third of the way through my 21 Day Challenge!  This little self help project is going way faster and far better than I could have imagined.  I am so proud of myself for committing to this.

Three Gratitude's:
1.  Today I am grateful for underwear!  I packed my gym bag for Friday's yoga class but opted to walk around Comic Con instead.  Yesterday after yoga I'm in the shower and OH SHIT, I realize I don't have any clean underwear.  On Friday's I go directly home after the gym so I don't pack any.  On Monday's I go to work.  Going to work commando while wearing jeans is not cool my friends. Either is taking a shower and putting on old sweaty underwear.  What would you have done?
2.  I found a kick butt meditation yesterday.  I'm definitely grateful for that.  The intro is really long and a little hoakie but hot damn.  It literally had me in tears, happy tears.  Such powerful words and in 3-D audio which is amazing.  Check it out if you're into that kinda thing, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab71jw25KlM
3.  I am also grateful for the coffee, breakfast and lunch I prepped the night ahead which totally set me up for a successful next day! 

Today's Journal:
Today I took a walk by myself.  Ten minutes of silence.  Ten minutes for me.  It was wonderful.  I am a lot more aware when there's no background noise.  Things seem a lot nicer, brighter, clearer.  I've gotten into this really bad habit of not spending time alone.  Or filling my alone time with "noise".  The gym, who's coming with?  I go to grab a coffee and I surf the web on my phone while I wait.  At home the television is always on.  I mush prefer the silence.  More silence. 

Exercise:
Yoga

Meditate:
My morning meditation was done outside in the sunshine.  I'm going to make that a habit.  Meditating outdoors is so much more enjoyable.  The wind blowing strands of hair across my face.  The sun warming my body, it's bliss.  In the evening I stumbled upon the I AM meditation that I linked above.  I listened to that for a good hour while laying on the couch.  So powerful.

Random Acts of Kindness:
I made an effort to say hello and smile to all the strangers I passed on the street.  Some people seemed genuinely put off by it.  It's sad that we aren't use to strangers saying hello to us.

That's it for today.  It's been a rough one, but you'll hear all about how I tried to focus on the positive despite the negative tomorrow.  Goodnight dear friends.
