Had to share this little photo



I took this the other day when I went for a walk with our fat dog, Maddy. I have no idea how it will come out on screen, but I loved it at the moment I took it and wanted to share...

Vision boards and other such fun stuff...

So, Wreck this journal is supposed to help me with creavity... and this blog is to help me document my wonderful journey. All sounds fairly easy.... And it is.

But in part of this journey, which is getting messier and messier as I progress I also have a business to continue and get my head in a space where I can grow both personally and professionally.

A couple of weeks ago a group of ladies and I had a networking session where we worked on getting some goals actually written down and making them more than just written down goals (if you get my drift). Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we actually have to action them!

Now, to do this it was recommended that we create some vision boards where we can have our goals plastered in a prominent place so that we see them and reinforce them EVERYDAY! Sounds like a plan...

So I bought my cardboard (that was the first step to actually actioning the goal of actioning the goal) and it has been sitting in front of me ever since. In all honesty I have been scared I was going to "mess it up" and it not be perfect. Hmm, I am starting to realise that I have a problem here...

My fear of "messing up" was preventing me from doing!! Woohoo.. now that I have realised that it is time to take action. And this is where I got the idea of Wreck this Journal. In a very long and convoluted way it was to help me not be so much of a perfectionist and get the job of starting to action some goals done so that I can achieve!

I feel I am on the right track.. even if I seem to be going in circles. This week I have been thinking more about my goals and realised that I probably needed a Daisy list like Sami which would be made up of things that I want to do, but is not so much a goal that it requires a vision board.

And that is where I am at today - I needed somewhere I could put my list of things to do and BINGO - this is it!! I am going to add a little area on the side where I can add the things I want to do and can tick them off as I go.

Problem solved!!

If you would like to know any more about Daisy lists, Wreck this Journal or Vision Boards, please email me! I would be happy to share.

Getting it wrong...

Apparently you can't get it wrong when you are "wrecking this journal"... Even following the instructions (I prefer to call them destructions) I still managed to muck up the first page!! :)

The clause in the front I think will save me - "Instructions are open to interpretation"... I am sticking to that, so sue me.

Anyway, I have had a flick through the journal at all the interesting destructions on how to destroy it and well, my neighbours might be calling the psych ward as I get into it...

Should be fun, I might give them the number to save them the time!

Wreck this Journal

1st post for My Journal Journey.... Wow! I discovered this book through a tangled web of blogs and followers etc and decided I wanted to do this.

I am one of the thousands (probably millions) of people who wants their journal to be perfect and often put off doing anything with it because of fear of doing it wrong.

Gosh, what a wasted existence! So, embracing the whole concept of wrecking a journal I have purchased a copy and am not set to go about and wreck it. Unfortunately I was expecting to receive the book in the mail on Friday, but it didn't arrive and managed to frustrate me the whole weekend just hoping that it would arrive today.

Well, it did and now to get on with it! Let's see what this is all about and can it really change some one like me?

Only time will tell....
