I had big wins and little wins this week.
The little? I found my collect pencils.
They’ve been missing for a while and I knew they were probably in my bedroom, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. I’m selling my house, which means people are coming to see it so it has to be neat and things have to be put away all the time.
Neat, is not my middle name so it’s been challenging. I looked in the cabinet where I thought my colored pencils were and I didn’t see them so I borrowed some.
Yesterday I said to myself, I know that my pencils are in that cabinet and looked again with conviction and found them. I persisted and I won.
There’s probably a deeper lesson here too like trusting myself and believing in myself. As it says in the blueprint builder, “I believe in them and I believe in me.”
The big win, my DMP. When I heard the assignment to write a one sentence DMP for this week, I was feeling challenged. I didn’t have a DMP that rang true for me so how was I going to do this?
I sat down and wrote for a couple hours, I persisted and I won. I wrote a DMP that excites me. It still needs some polishing and I have been having insights about what could make it even better.
Another big win. Now that I have. a DMP that excites me and rings true, I can read the blueprint builder with enthuuuusiasm as Mark would say. The first time I read after it after I finished the DMP was moved by the experience. I got emotional, finally.
I have a bit of catching up to do as far as assignments go, but that too will happen.
Another big win just happened now. I wrote this blog post in record time. I had 30 minutes to write this post before I going to Synagogue tonight and the timer is just about to go off.
I have been diligently writing blog posts and many times it felt like pulling teeth or stretching hard to make a point or to not find fault with myself and break the mental diet.
Today it flowed and the difference in energy was palpable.



Susan, this is really good! Many of us can relate to the feelings, questions you expressed in this Blog from knowing you had those pencils and finding them. The challenges of the one sentence DMP, writing the Blog posts on top of selling your home and keeping it ‘neat’ … love how vulnerable you are!
Susan, I am so proud of you! Yes, persistence on even the smallest of things will help us develop that great habit. Thank you for sharing how you learned for it to be a deeper experience.
