21 Day Challenge

I decided to jump into the 21 Day Challenge. It's based on the idea that it takes 21 days to make/break a habit. For 21 days you establish or rid yourself of a habit, and you get to go through it with others and create an art journal as you go. If you're interested, I don't believe it's ever too late to join. You can choose any habit you'd like to work on. For me I saw a great opportunity to take part in something, create a habit that would have a positive impact on my life and start an art journal, which is Number 21 on my 101 List. Number 21 is now officially in progress.


My 21-Day Challenge: To ask for what I want

This may be asking for what I want from someone, from myself or from the Universe.

Day 1: One of my goals over the next year is to continue to lessen the amount of hours I spend at what I call my "day job" as I step more and more into my coaching and creative work. Recently I asked if I could lower my hours as of June 1, and my boss had requested I stay until July 15. I really hashed it out, and I was frankly a bit nervous about putting myself first and going in and saying, "Actually, I'm afraid I need to stick with the original date." But today I did it.

Congratulations on day one! You've set yourself a great challenge for the next 21 days. Asking for what we truly want is HUGE, HUGE, HUGE! Good luck and all the best on your upcoming exams too.

Bravo! I love that you have put yourself first here and taken control of the situation. You're an inspiration to me. Looking forward to updates on this challenge!

Congratulations! I know how hard it is but once you start asking - and being clear about what you want, it does become a habit. I think I´ll join you in the 21 day challenge!

Wow, I totally adore your journal and it's already so cool and artistic. I don't know how you do it.

You got me Jamie! I started the challenge and my first act of magick is making the journal itself and my realizations in doing so. I've published it in my Crafty Magick blog. Now I have something to write about!

Thank you so much for your inspiration, YET AGAIN! I hope everyone else participates too.
