One Little Word Challenge.
Let me explain. At the beginning of each year many people make tons of resolutions, ie lose weight, get organized, get caught up on scrapbooking, be a better person, etc. Well you get the idea. They generally make so many, that they tend to do good for a few weeks, then things go back to the way it was before.
I realize that January is gone, but I waited for this challenge for a reason, I want you to succeed, but I want you to also stop and look at what it is you really want, when you set your resolutions at the beginning of January, what were you really trying to achieve. Because lets face it, if you want to lose weight, you have to make real changes, not just change your diet for a few weeks, if you want to get organized, it isn’t going to happen overnight, etc.
The actual challenge this month is to pick One Little Word that can help you start working on your goals/resolutions and put it into a project, layout, word book or whatever you want. Make it something you can look at every day and remind you what it is you are doing.
My word is Progress. This is a good one for me, because I tend to be an all or nothing girl and this word helped me be able to step back and say, “Even if I only lose 3 lbs this year, it is progress”. “If I only get 2 drawers organized this year, it is progress”.
Many of you may have heard or seen Ali Edwards do this the past few years. If you want to read about some of the words and ideas that others have done, go take a look at this article.
Also, I have found that Flylady helps me stay on task and reminds me that I don’t have to be perfect, but to just start where I am right now and not try to catch up.
I am so excited to see your challenge projects featuring Your Word. Be sure and post your project here in the February Challenge Folder.
Don’t forget, the winner is chosen by random drawing, so everyone has the same chance to win.
If you don’t remember what the wonderful challenge prizes are, go take a look on the Challenge Page and see what you will pick if you win.
