MKE Week 8 – Warrior Princess Finds Calmness in the Storm

minutes remaining

Doing my daily reads is not something I do, but part of who I am now. I can hardly remember a time of going to sleep without doing my reads first. It ends my day with a reflective attitude and a reminder that tomorrow I can be even better.

Some mornings I rush off to work, read my cards and do my “Do it nows” in the car, then try to do my morning read at my desk. Those days I don’t feel as grounded. The days I get up, drink my coffee while doing my read, I start off calmer and seem to have a calmer day.

I struggle with my afternoon reads, and know this is the next thing to tackle and get it right. I have Og on my desk next to me, and my movie poster hanging in front of me all day. These constantly remind me of the journey I am on. I hardly ever have a block of time during my day where I am not reminded somehow of this journey I’m on.

I printed out several smaller movie posters, taped one on the inside of my car door so I see it when I exit my car. I taped another one to my laptop so it is always in sight. I wear a really cool compass necklace I found on Amazon.

I also have a compass on the dash of my car. I even have an extra set of index cards in my car. They remind me to say my “Do it now” and “I can be what I will to be.”

I took a picture of my movie poster and have it as my wallpaper on my phone. I don’t have a shirt pocket like Mark J, but this works awesome. I was in the bank, and the gentleman in front of me had 3 huge deposits.

The teller apologized that it may take a few minutes. I replied I was in no hurry. I pulled out my phone and looked at my movie poster. I looked at the shapes and colors and went through each dream picture I had on the board, taking a moment to imagine and feel those dreams.

I took a moment to Thank God for giving me those moments to ponder my dreams. Our lives get so busy that we forget to take those moments.

I really struggled with the idea of no tv for a week. I had a little pow-wow with myself trying to justify maybe an hour an evening to “work on my crafts for Christmas gifts”. My polo group was great and helped me come up with some great ideas on things I could use instead of the tv.

I decided to embrace the challenge, and every evening while working on my crafts, I have watched several training videos of Mark J for my networking business! I have used that time wisely, and am thankful for the challenge.

I can’t say I won’t watch tv again, but I have definitely seen the benefit of not having that distraction and how much more I can get done without it!

It’s hard to believe that we have only been doing the MKE for only 2 months. I have learned so much and so much has changed in my perspective and attitude.

I am thankful every day that I found MKE. I am thankful for my tribe and all the wonderful people I have met and all the ones I will meet in the future.

The Warrior Princess is becoming a new woman. New and improved!
