I am going to follow – for awhile anyway – this A-Z blog<\/a> on focusing for “improvement.”  I am sure that it will be for self improvement because I have been focusing on various flaws in the house – cracks in walls, chipped paint, mould etc. and these things have not improved, by the mere act of focusing on them.  I think that it might take a little more of something else to mend them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But I have heard that you can improve your image, soul, persona…. by just thinking or focusing on the positives.  This sounds easier than a lot of physical exercise, dieting, reading or anything other than eating and sleeping!!…oh yes and thinking!!!<\/p>\n

I know that there is a book out there entitled “Think and Grow Rich.”  I haven’t read it yet – maybe that’s my problem.  Anyway, the A-Z challenge asks you to focus on a quality (or three) one day at a time.  I think that I’ll stick with one. Three would appeal to my ADD side; but then I know that nothing would be focused.<\/p>\n

Now to find a quality or attribute that starts with A.  Attitude is good. Focus on a positive attitude over a negative one.  Of course – gone is the dry humour that often gets me through the day. Activate is another “A” word.  I could activate an idea (or two) that has\/have been rolling around in my brain for awhile. Agitate – shake things up a bit, get up, get moving, clean out some clutter.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWell I think that if I just get moving, that will help.  Please post if you have any other “A” words.  This could be fun!!<\/p>\n

Have an AWESOME day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
