Day 7 (last day), Today, my something different wasn’t any “different” than any other day. I awoke, showered, eat breakfast etc. However, I said, “I love you” to myself, in my mind all day. It kept me in a really nice groove all day. This is going to be apart of my daily routine.

Thanks Mr. Thornton for giving the opportunity to explore myself and to find new and great things within. Thanks a whole bunch.

Day, 6 and seems like I am the only one doing this…..Well anyway, my something different today was to chill, to take it easy. It was cool, really cool. I learned that nothing is that too important to rush or to be in a hurry.

Day 5, I am back at the gym feeling good and looking great. Don’t get me wrong, I am not overweight at all in fact I am what others would consider to be thier ideal weight. I just want to pack on some muscle. Well, anyway, I have totally changed my perspective of how I see myself. For years I had a complex about being too skinny, dark, short. Now, I have completely changed how I see myself. I realized that I was always in control over how I felt about my appearance. I was the one who accpeted and internalized negative comments about me. I made those comments my reality.

Now, knowing that, that chapter of my life is now closed and old news. Today, I am the most attractive I have ever been. In fact, I look so good I have to jump back and kiss myself sometimes. It isn’t arrogance or anything like that. If anybody is going to repsect, appreciate, love, etc. all of me, then I have to, first, respect, appreciate, love, etc. all of me.

This is my something different for today. I am going to view myself in a much better light than before.

Day 4, I did the unthinkable. I said No!!!!
I was one of those people who couldn’t say no. If folks needed a babysiter, I was always available and etc, etc. So, today I said No, and It felt good. I felt like a wieght was lifted off my shoulders. Of course there was some resistance from people who thought it was uncharacteristic of me, but who cares.

I should have done this years ago, but now is always the right time.

Day 3 (I think). Today, I took a walk through the old neighborhood I grew up in. Since today was a beautiful day why not. I met some old elementary and Jr. High school friends and I got a haircut. This is the “hood” East Saint Louis and I noticed change. I saw new store fronts, a new park, and a new school building. People were out washing their cars, kids playing, people burnin’ meat on a grill. It was nice. It was wonderful.

I caught the bus and over heard a conversation of an old woman talking to an old friend. She said that she would be turnning 77 years old tommorow. She didn’t look a day over 60. She was excited!!!

I had my iPod in my ears and caught the faint sound of George Harrison’s voice singing, “And the time will come when you see we’re all one, and life flows on within and without you”…..WOW!!!

Amazing. I am grateful that I took the walk. I am grateful for the beautiful day. I am grateful to be apart of the whole. I am grateful to be here. I am grateful.

I learned that the Universe/God communicates with us all the time. We just have to be open and willing to just listen.

This new woman in your life that you keep talking about sure sounds phenomenal 🙂

Anyway, you have motivated me to try something different. I took the time to ask everyone I came in contact with today (i.e. cashier, waitress, parking attendant, etc.) how their day was going. The response was amazing. It was really fulfilling to see how such a simple sign of interest could completely change a person’s demeanor.

This is a habit I definitely plan on keeping.

Today, day 2, This morning before getting out of bed, I gave thanks. I didn’t ask for anything, I was just grateful for life.

This I will continue to do.

WOW Ahren!

You’re really shaking things up! That’s really good news…and I’m glad to hear that you’re getting great results from it.

If you don’t mind me asking, how are you feeling doing all the new things you’re doing this week?

Ok, so I didn’t jog to the gym in the snow and wind…the secret’s about feeing good, and that wouldn’t make me feel good. Some other day…so instead, I wrote in my journal in reverse time. Usually, I write from the point I left off up until the present. I wrote from Wednesday, back to Feb 14th (the last entry) I found it to be easier to remember the details, and enjoyed it. Thursday, I decided to read instead of have a couple beers prior to going out. I’m reading the Celestine Prophecy, and ended up projecting love to those around me, it proved to be an enjoyable evening. Today, I have kept my TV off all day for a change. Not sure what day 5 of do something different will entail..figure it out tomorrow.
