Everyone needs a break even brokebitches. I worked extra hours on 4th of July to get the money to split a cheap hotel on the beach with friends. It's amazing the clarity I had while breathing in the seabreeze and hearing the calm waters roll in to the shore of Carolina Beach. Sometimes stepping outside your bubble can put you staring at your bubble and figuring out what works and what does'nt work. Being broke-beachy for a weekend felt amazing. I read The Secret again by Rhonda byrne and was reminded of what I need to be doing in my life. My thoughts were trapped in the negative prison of my everyday struggles. As I was changing my thoughts to equal the things I wanted, I realized I wasn't doing the things needed to make those thoughts come true. You should phrase sentences like you've already reached your dreams. For instance, reaching my goal weight of 135 pounds is so important to me. However changing my thoughts to "I feel great at 135 pounds" and Picturing myself at 135 pounds isn't enough. My actions need to match my thoughts. I need to go to the gym and do it consistantly 3 times a week. I need to eat healthy. I need to regularly attend my Weight Watcher's meeting! For me, being on the cover of Weight Watcher's Magazine would be as successful as graduating from Ball State University. I will grace the Weight Watcher's magazine. Maybe I'll focus on this for the next 30 days and move onto another area of my life. It's one step at a time. Otherwise I throw my hands up in the air and eat a pint of ice cream! Frankly, it's very hard to eat a pint of ice cream when my hands are in the air so I'd rather not do this. ;) I'm changing the name of my blog because I'm going through this brokebitchdom to get to richbitchdom. I need to change the title to read brokebitch to richbitch. ;) It's like Henry Ford said "if you think you can't you can't" I think I can and I can! Dreaming as a broke-beach this weekend makes me believe in my everyday.
