To renew and reinvent our lives, WE NEED A PLAN! Here it is: a seven-day process to work with over and over. This plan incorporates physical, mental and spiritual work. Use the whole seven-day process, or choose any one of the days to work with as you create the life you want.n nnDAY 1: RE-CHARGE A Day of CommitmentnnFocus on changing your mind-set: This is the day to change the thought patterns playing in your mind. Get rid of phrases such as "I can't." "Why does this happen to me?" "Things always seem to go wrong." "After three bad things happen, life will change for the better." Insert thoughts such as "I can do it." " There are creative solutions to any problem."nnCreate a visual logo that works for you: Imagine the ocean or the lake, water falls, butterflies, sunshine, moonshine --- whatever works for you. Note the image or images that work for you, and if you begin to feel negative, simply bring one of your positive images to mind. Your image is your logo for positive energy.nnTools for Day 1: Motivational books, music, dance, art, all that is inspirational.nn nnDAY 2: RE-VAMP A Day of Planningn
    n
  • What changes do you need to make in your home?n
  • What changes do you need to make in your office?n
  • What changes do you need to make in your exercise routine, OR do you need to begin an exercise routine (with doctor's permission of course)?n
  • What changes do you need to make in your diet?n
nTools for Day 2: A notebook and pen, or computer.nn nnDAY 3: RE-CYCLE A Day of Throwing OutnnChoose an area of your home, your garage, your backyard, and clean it out thoroughly. Have three boxes set up: one for things to keep, one for things to repair, and one for things to give to others. The hard work begins.nnDo not tackle your whole house on this one-day. This seven-day program can be repeated again, and each time you can choose a new area. You can repeat Day 3 every week for six weeks.nnTools for Day 3: Boxes to sort things in, vacuum cleaner, broom, dust rags, music to play to cheer yourself on through this hard day of work.nnnDAY 4: RE-FRESHnnA Day of RefreshmentnnThis is a day of reward. If you cleaned out your office or home on day 3, then refresh this space with a new plant or bunch of flowers. Give yourself a present. Open the windows and make sure the light can shine in.nnTools for Day 4: A present for yourself.nn nnDAY 5: RE-TURNnnA Day of Spiritual ContemplationnnThis is a day to contemplate your spiritual values and re-turn to the values that are important to you. This is a quiet day of soul searching. In the past two days you have re-cycled some of your belongings and you have refreshed an area of your house or office: you did a lot of physical work. You were involved with a lot of "things." Today, focus on the soul level. Sit and connect with the God of your understanding and ask questions:n
    n
  • What is the meaning of my life?n
  • What am I here to do in this lifetime? n
  • What am I proud of and what advances have I made in my life? n
  • Which areas of my life need work?n
nThis is the day to take an honest look at the way you spend your time, the people you associate with, the worries that occupy you too much, the fears that you allow to control you, the anger you may have towards others.nnTools for Day 5: An honest heart and an inquiring mind.nn nnDAY 6: RE-INVENT A Day to Change PatternsnnYesterday was an assessment day. It was a hard day. Today is a day to make plans to change the parts of your life that need changing.n
    n
  • Do you have health problems you are not facing? Make an appointment with a health professional or get back to taking care of yourself in the way that you know is best for you.n
  • Are you allowing the problems of others to dominate your life? If so this is a day to make plans to change your schedule. If you are a caregiver, find creative ways to get time off. And do not say, "There is no way." Find out what your community has to offer. If the person you are taking care of does not want to receive care from others, then you must be strong and explain that you have to have time off.n
  • If you spend all your time compassionately listening to others, remember that you will burn out if you do not have time for yourself. We all know this, but we do not always allow time for ourselves.n
nTools for Day 6: A notebook, pen, computer, a telephone, appointment book.nnDAY 7: RE-INVEST A Investment Day in All That is PositivennWhile I hesitate to use the word "re-invest" during this financial crisis, it is time to think about how to best spend your money, how to best spend your time. You have spent an entire week taking a look at your physical and spiritual life. Today is the day to take a good look at your financial life as well. Another coffee for five dollars may not be the best way to go. A lot of takeout food costs money. Are there ways to organize your cooking so that you do not pick up as much food?nnTools for Day 7: Your financial records, your checkbook, a willingness to make changes.nnOKAY LET'S GET STARTED AND CHANGE OUR LIVES!
