[/LIST]Now I need to find some of DNMS's sparkliness and get my backside moving with the essay:T

Use the 15 minute rule...

When I have something I'm dreading or just plain don't want to do. I promise myself that I'm going to do just 15 minutes of it. If I still want to leave it then, I can. I can't think of any time that I've used the get out. Once you get started it just seems to flow

Today I am...

Staying in, so will have a NSD
Do plenty of washing on a superquick cycle
Mark all my school books.. loads in them as didn't take the books in before Christmas :mad:
Prepare the weeks lessons
Do the ironing
Meals from stores
Make an apple crumble
Help DD revise for a science test
Make sure DD and DS get their final thank you letters written
Try to plan some more walk routes for moonwalk training- difficult at the moment as many paths are muddy, and living here most of the roads don't have footpaths

Ok re being positive. The course I went on was delivered by a guy called Michael Heppell - he's a motivational speaker, and was soooo inspiring - he's written a couple of books one is called "How to be brilliant" and another (do a search on amazon), I would 100% recommend getting the How to be brilliant (out of the library of course ) and reading it. I will also paste some of the tools I was given to help you achieve this later today - there's a wheel of life that I found really ulimnating! (sp?) and a couple of others. there was a lot about how you can use language to help you feel more positve, ok will stop banging on and post it so you can see for yourselves!

Love the sound of all that!! Please post the tools
