Today, make an effort to face up to your fears, misgivings, or repulsions by giving something you dislike a second chance. Although you may not always end up embracing it, you may learn something about yourself and your limits.

    I know this is an old challenge, but it’s still a good one. Today I am cleaning my room. I know that sounds ridiculous, but cleaning my bedroom is repulsive to me. It just gets to an overwhelming point because of my busy lifestyle.

    I also forget my green bags when I go shopping, so I usually end up buying more of them!! I’m going to have to do the same thing – “put them back” so I’ll have them next time!

    I did accomplish my green run today.

    Yes I did go shopping and amazingly I made it back. But Of course It always happens… I ended up at fast food and had a mailshake AND french fries and a baked potato with chili which was the good part lol

    I can’t stand running in the cold weather. It’s supposed to be around 50 degrees today and I run on the tredmill almost every day…so today’s the day! After work, I’m going to go for a run in the city!! =]

    I actually started on the treadmill today. I’m going to log it in my journal every other day for a week and then try for 6 days a week

    I’m going to critically read my theory articles instead of re-reading Native poetry for the hundredth time and dance around my kitchen in an out-of-season dress.

    Today… I am going to forget there are a MILLION things to do inside and go to the beach. I will walk, breathe, and listen to the sounds of the world surrounding me… simply and quietly.

    I am going to try to stay away from the jar of Nutella in my pantry today. I usually have a scoop a day of it, but it’s getting out of control! I’m going to try to avoid it today and actually for the whole week!

    I am going to give cottage cheese a second chance. It’s gross, but I’ll try it.
