Creating A Life Map

Today was day 6 of the 31 Days Reset Your Life challenge. The exercise was to create a life map. It is a tool that will help you focus on 7 areas of your life: Work, Family, Lifestyle, Health, Relationships, Education, Finances. First you have to brainstorm and write down your visions for each area of your life, then you use a map to put everything together. For more information on creating a Life Map and to get a free workbook created by Rosetta (creator of Happy Black Woman)  visit 31 Days To Reset Your Life . I encourage you to create one and get other friends/family members to make one as well. Also here is mine: (Had to take a picture of my computer screen b/c the program I used wouldn't let me upload) But anyway here it is:

A Time To Re-Evaluate

Well it is December the last month of the year. Can you believe how fast the year has flown by. I know we have made a lot of progress this year and have grown as a person. Maybe you still feel stuck or that you need to be doing more. I feel that way sometimes. It is that time to re-evaluate your life and make more necessary changes to keep growing and improving yourself. I follow this blog called Happy Black Woman by Rosetta Thurman and a few days ago she announced that she would be starting a 31 Days to Reset Your Life Challenge. I thought this would be a great way to end a year and to begin/prepare for the start of a new year. You can join the challenge as well by going here 31 Days To Reset Your Life. I will try to blog about it everyday  and tweet about it as well, but the majority of the time I will be writing in my journal. I hope you all consider taking this journey. Finish off the year strong and start off the new year with fierce determination.

Day 1 of the challenge, which started yesterday (Dec. 1) : We had to choose a "Reset" notebook, a journal that you would write about the daily exercises and how you feel about the exercise. Then you had to choose a mantra that encouraged you and  keeps you motivated.
