Day 4

A little disappointed in myself today.  I knew work was going to be a struggle due to where I was working and who I was working with and although I was determined not to spend my day complaining and my colleagues I'm afraid to say I failed miserably.

Before the Doors Opened

Before we even opened the doors to let the public in the negativity started.  There were 3 members of staff in today and all of us have been having problems with another person at work, this unfortunately makes it very difficult to not get caught up in complaining about said person.

As the day went on and more and more complaints were getting thrown around I found myself getting a bit of a stress headache and worrying about going into work tomorrow since I will be working with the person we all seem to have a problem with.

Time to Relax

After work it was time for my bath with essential oils to help me relax.  Unfortunately this didn't work as well as it usually does.  Not only am I still stressing over work tomorrow but I am still annoyed with myself for getting caught up in all the bad of the day.

Conclusion

Today I feel like I have taken a step back, however I am still determined to keep trying.  I know it will be difficult and it will take some time to get out of my bad habits and to stop letting what others say and do affect me in a negative way but I believe I have the strength to do it.

Day 1

Today is the first day of my journey to a better life.  After an initial shaky start I was determined to have a relaxing but productive day.

The Relaxing Side

In order to help relax and enjoy a stress free day I stayed in my flat dressed in my most comfortable clothing watching the TV shows and movies that I love the most and listening to the sound of the rain outside.

Later on in the evening I had a hot bath with essential oils.  This is the recipe I use to help relieve stress and anxiety:

Bergamot
Eucalyptus
Frankincense
Lemon

Not only do these oils give the water a "soft" feeling, the smell of the oils helps to stimulate your senses and relax your body.

Now at the end of the day, I am lying on the sofa, snuggled under a blanket, watching TV in the glow of candlelight.

The Productive Side

I am currently employed on a 0 hour contract, this means that I only work when they are short staffed.  Now that the holidays are over my work hours have seriously went down causing some financial difficulties.  Today was spent searching the internet for jobs and completing applications forms.

One of the techniques I have read regarding the law of attraction is the power of repetition.  I have Bob Proctor's "The Science of Getting Rich" seminar DVD and try to watch it as often as possible (almost daily).  The idea behind this is the more you hear the information, the more "true" it becomes to your brain so the easier it is to work your way up the ladder of success.

Another technique they suggest is to use what's known as a goal card.  The idea is you write down your goal as if it has already happened and carry the card around with you so you can look at it often.  This is because your subconscious mind takes everything literally, if it believes you have reached your goal you will feel it emotionally, this will in turn attract it to you.

I have also started putting together a vision or dream board.  A vision board is a board you cover with images that represent the things you desire in life.  If you look at your vision board at least twice a day it will help to keep you focused.

My Thoughts and Feelings

All in all I think today was a good first step.  I am feeling relaxed and confident with what I want in life.
