It’s Day 2 of my 47th rotation around the sun, and I’m buzzing (thank you Love Island UK for the slang!). As a birthday treat to myself and to kickoff my 47th year in a positive and grounding way, I did a chakra balancing massage, meditation and treatment at my favorite day spa, Copper Well Retreat. It was the perfect balance of woo, relaxation, inspiration and rejuvenation that I needed. Within the first 10 minutes of the treatment as I was focusing in on my breathing and connecting with my higher power, the idea of starting to write again settled into my mind. Twenty minutes a day. Every day. For the next year.

I could do this. I’ve written down three things that I’m grateful for every day for the last 1,641 days; I could totally write for at least 20 minutes a day for the next 365 days. I just need to commit to it, because once I say I’ll do something, I do it. Follow it all the way through. I actually just recently learned this about myself when reviewing my Clifton Strengths again with a friend. I did this strengths finder when I was 28 years old – every single strength is still so spot on! It’s a little nuts to me, but that’s a story for another day. Today we’re are focused on commitment. The commitment to chronicle every day of my 47th year.

So, I guess let’s do this. =)
