So when Michelle at When I Grow Up Coach started wrecking her journal, I got a bit inspired and ordered a copy for myself. It took about a week to arrive...and the whole time it was making it's way to me, I had a little anxious part of my brain worrying just a little about what I would do with it. Part of it was excitement, it was, after all, a new book, and that is always a thrill on its own, but it was also scared anticipation of just letting go and following along. Eek.
So it arrived on Tuesday (yesterday). I flipped through it quickly at work, cracked the spine as instructed, and put it into my bag for later, much like I would a delicious treat for later.
I thought about it all day, but was just too plain exhausted last night to open it. Then tonight, I had an super awesome productive day at work and thought I would try and continue the trend at home.
So here I am.
I told myself I would open to a random page and just do as it said, but then I turned to the page that told me to take the journal into the shower with me, and I won't be in the shower next until the morning. Then I flipped to another page and didn't really want to do what it said, either. I finally ended up on a page that told me to rip out the page (going against my long-ingrained respect for books...you NEVER rip a page!) and crumple it in a ball.
I did it.
Here's the evidence:
Baby steps, right?
This might be fun.
See, even coaches don't have it all together - I'm figuring it out as I go just like you. How are you stretching who you are?
Stay tuned for more journal wrecking!
