Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. ~Jim Rohn

It’s July 1 a new month and a great time to develop a new habit. Do you often set out with a great intention to start something new, make the plan and somehow not follow through? I know I have. This year I have developed some new habits by setting 21 day goals rather than the normal 30 days to make a new habit rule. I have restarted painting on almost daily basis after setting myself a 21 day painting goal and produced a Prescription Series of paintings.. Since completing that series I have started on a color prescription series where each week I am focusing on a color of the chakras; This week it is the heart chakra and the color green.

What is even more exciting of that through developing this regular habit I now have established the beginnings of my online art gallery at Fine Art America and this month my goal is to put up 5 new images each week and I have that scheduled into My Weekly Browsing schedule (a firefox addon) so the page opens at the site and this weekend I will get a series of paintings prepared to be uploaded.

What do you do to create a new habit and make it stick?

Be inspired, be empowered, be the change and make a difference TODAY! And remember to have FUN

How To Keeping on Track When……..

By Suzie Cheel

Monday, March 14th, 2011

One foot in front of the other, let’s remember that Rome was not built in a day, and thank goodness for this. There is plenty of time and if you try and rush it you’ll just end up having to start from square one all over again, and that’s hard work. You know how far to push and it feels to me that there is no more pushing needed, just one foot in front of the other. Ghazaleh Lowe

Change Warrior Update
Video ( 2.13 minutes)

This sounds exactly where I was at with The Change Warrior project that I had launched last week as a special tribute to all the courageous women who have driven change and often suffered for it in the past 100 years since the first International Womens’ Day. I had also been putting the finishing touches to Christine Kane’s video where we had been talking about the importance of getting back on track when things don’t go to plan.

That’s what happened for me last week. Last Friday when I checked the video page on The Change Warrior Site I discovered that all the videos had vanished- wordpress was stripping out the html. After spending too many hours finding a solution, I took some time out to reflect and look at my options. As my friend Stephanie said : Yes next time I will plan better, I will have more thorough check lists, start earlier and have a support team. And as Christine Kane says: “it okay to be imperfect”!

The project will be back up later today ( USA time) and here is the revised schedule: The first 2 videos will be available to view when you register to get FREE access

Have You Chosen A Theme For 2011?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJvOcg_ZHhg[/youtube]

Have you chosen your theme for the year? Inspired by Mari Smith’s post My One-Word Theme For 2011: Commitment I have been tossing some words around over the past few weeks.

star- be the star of your life and be okay about it. it also relates to my about to be launched program-Taking You from Stuck to Stardom.
shine- I know this is my year to shine so I liked what my friend Zeenat wrote yesterday about me: Suzie for that beaming positive and loving soul that shines so bright. My friend Lance from The Jungle of life has chosen this for 2011
fun- and then yesterday Ellie Walsh declared on Facebook Have Fun
focus- then I decided that would not make my heart sing- yes I need to focus and will include that in what I finally choose. one of the things that is helping me focus is the wonderful gift: A Free Diary: Michele Connolly aka The Get Organised Wizard is giving away on her Face Book Page
abundance- this was to be be my overall theme, I even wrote a new word in the sand while I was on holidays
magic- this came up as the word for my star sign Capricorn this year. Thanks to Stephanie Rainbow Bell for sharing this with me
manifesting magic came to me yesterday and then I read Christine Kane‘s current newsletter which this week has a downloadable worksheet with some great questions so I may be back later in the week with a revised theme.:)
