#SheSunday


I know I've called today "she" sunday but I'm going to do my best to make it applicable for he's and she's!  *grin*  To that end today's focus is about The Little Engine That Could and the article that inspired this line of thinking is from a website called menprovement. 

 
In case you need a refresher on the story of The Little Engine That Could


The whole point of The Little Engine is belief. Going from I think I can to I knew I could - and did. I was probably 2 years old when I first heard this story and I've been hearing it ever since, but the lesson of the book still hasn't quite sunk in and become a part of me. How about you? Where are you at with the whole belief in self thing?

Author and Happiness Guru Gretchen Rubin is slightly annoyed by the story of The Little Engine{which I disagree with that particular opinion}but she can't get it out of her head - it's mantra of belief is stuck in her head. Read about her thoughts on it here. The story not only provides a personal mantra to adopt but also character traits that are important for life. 

So today, on this #SheSunday, evaluate your belief-in-self level, do you think - and know - you can?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
