Confrontation Counts WEEK 11: Task 49

CONFRONTATION COUNTS

Today, is confrontation day. Not in a bad way, but in a good way. It's time to take some steps to confront whatever or whoever hurt you. This time I'm going to give you a choice of methods. Either you can write a letter, call or meet face to face. Regardless of the method, your job is to confront the situation. If you write a letter, you only have to send it to the person if you choose. However, the letter needs to address everything that is and has been on your heart. If you have the courage to call or meet, the same rules apply. Just make SURE the atmosphere is appropriate and the other person is open to hearing what's on your mind.

WARNING: If you believe there could be any elements of danger associated with this task, please do not perform. DO NOT put yourself in harms way. I'm in no way telling you it's a must for you to perform this task. Please use your common sense and best judgement.

I Forgive You WEEK 11: Task 48

Hold onto and embrace those feelings as you open your eyes. Look yourself directly in the eyes and repeat, "I forgive you" 10 times.

This is going to be REALLY hard this week, but, sigh...no one said getting back to you would be easy! Make the commitment to START eating right TODAY! I know, I know...but we learn through DOING. Don't cheat yourself by giving in to the temptation of doing what everyone else will be doing; that's what the "old you" would do.

At some point today, make time to do something ONLY the "new you" would do. Do something you've been planning to do for awhile but never had the time, energy or courage to do for whatever reason. It doesn't have to be anything major, it can be something simple. Asking a guy on a date, cooking dinner from scratch, reading a book, test driving that car, eating that chocolate cake, or NOT eating that chocolate cake!

A Friend's Approval - WEEK 8: Task 38

A FRIEND'S APPROVAL

Today, write an email to your best friend explaining how much you value their friendship and want to do everything possible to strengthen it. In fact, to help strengthen your relationship, ask them to tell you all of the qualities they love about you as well as the ones that need work. Tell them to be as honest as possible because you're working on developing the "New You." Once you receive their response, don't fire back an immediate response, rebuttal or a "No you didn't reply message." I need you to pause, receive the feedback and reflect on it.

Who Am I to You? WEEK 8: Task 37

WHO AM I TO YOU?

Today, find at least 3 people you know and ask them the question, "Who am I to you?" Don't try to filter the conversation by helping them define you; allow them to answer on their own. Your job is to receive whatever response you get. If it's simply one word...receive that. If it's a long drawn out story about remembering when...receive that also. The idea is to gain other people's perspective on who you are. Oh yea...one more thing. You ALSO have to pick someone who you "DON'T" really care for and who probably doesn't care for you either. It could be your child's teacher, your baby's father, in-laws, nosy neighbor or Keisha from the 4th floor who rolls her eyes everytime you see her in the lobby! It doesn't matter...just find someone!

Position them side by side to each other. Take the next 10 minutes and on one side of a piece of paper, write all of the dreams you remember having as the younger you. Do the same thing for the older you. Compare the list to see what's changed and what's remained the same. Next, post at least 3 of your current dreams in a place where you and others can see them this week.

For today's task, physically find 5 people you know or don't know and ask them to tell you 3 positive things about you. Don't give them anything to say, just ask them their thoughts about you. Your job as they're stating these wonderful words is to say nothing. The ONLY words you're allowed to say are, "Thank you." They're going ask you why you're asking them to state these things, but you're ONLY allowed to nod your head in agreement, smile and cordially say, "Thank you."

Hang it up in your cubicle, upload to your social media profile, on your bathroom mirror, on the frige, or wherever! Just make sure it's in a place that's visible and convenient.

This is definitely the easiet task you'll EVER receive from me! Sigh...here it goes..."Buy it." Whatever it is you've had your eye on and haven't purchased because...today is the day.

I Love Me Some Me WEEK 6: Task 28

I LOVE ME SOME ME

This is one of my favorites, but also a very hard one. Relax and stare at yourself in the mirror in silence for 5 minutes. Observe everything. Notice the freckles, the grey hairs, laugh lines, skintone, curves, everything that makes you unique and who you are. Next, verbally have a conversation with the woman in the mirror about what you DO and DON'T like about her. This is going to feel a little wierd, but trust me it's worth it. After you've said your do's and don'ts, take 4 deep breaths, look yourself directly in the eyes and repeat this phrase 4 times, "I love you for who you are."

Time for some house cleaning! Time to get rid of everything and everyone who doesn't add value to your life. This may be hard, but first things first...DELETE HIS/HER/THEIR NUMBER! You know the one I'm talking about. And don't you dare say but, "What if...?" If you're moving forward, you can't keep looking backwards! 2. Delete and/or take down ALL pictures that remind you of whoever or whatever moments. You don't have to throw them away, but they definitely need to be stored out of sight. 3. Same thing goes for emails, letters, cards, gifts, and anything else that can be associated with the old you. 4. Replace the empty spaces with items that serve as positive reminders of where you're heading. Anything from pictures, key phrases, vision boards, or whatever motivates you to keep moving in the right direction.
