Good afternoon Boys and Girls!
Your homework for this week is: dun dun duhnnnn.......SURPASS YOURSELF! I guess that's a step further than being beside yourself :)
So here's the description - straight from the card - so don't blame me for any part of it you don't like:
Do more and do it better this week.
Really extend yourself, more than ever before, to do the best possible in everything you undertake. You'll see, it's an extraordinary way to make yourself feel good, to feel stronger and happier as you review your day while lying in bed waiting to fall asleep. It's also an excellent way to feel eager to get up in the morning, knowing that you have the challenge to give your best all day long. Also pay attention to how others react to you. You'll probably notice that they appreciate you more than usual.
Whew. And I thought this one was going to be easy! A few thoughts came to mind as I typed that....
* I wish it hadn't said "more than ever before" because quite honestly, given my recent state of being, surpassing myself for the week had a very low bar - one that I thought would be attainable. But this poses quite a challenge. Although I can probably be successful in the "more than ever before" qualification if I stick to things like housework. But no! It says "in everything you undertake". well I guess challenges are for .....being challenging. Ok. next thought I had...
* "lying in bed waiting to fall asleep".....not sure I have ever had that experience. it's more like I fall asleep and the bed waits for me to make my way to it. What the heck- I will try to stay awake long enough to review my all surpassing days this week. Or maybe this means I can surpass myself in sleeping, too? Hmmmm now we're talking!
* "eager to get up in the morning" Who are they trying to kid??? Obviously the creator of this little game doesn't know me very well. Eager and morning cannot peacefully coexist in my world. Except at the beach. Or on Christmas morning. And neither of those things will be happening this week. sigh
It's only week 2 on the way to a better me and I'm already questioning the wisdom of making myself accountable in such a public venue as Blogspot. Geez I'm glad I'm not really published yet. But what have you and I got to lose? Let's get crackin - stop being beside yourself and surpass yourself - in every way, every day, this week! and don't forget to send me your stories!
Ready, Set, Go!!!
