As I sit watching the news about Paris, I wonder how on earth we are supposed to be positive and, as a mum, I wonder how I can stay positive for my children when they are asking me that question for which there is no answer, or not one that make sense.

Why?

So, as a planner, who loves to plan, I decided I am going to plan to be positive.  

I will set myself some small goals each week or month to help me stay positive and, most importantly, I will do all I can to achieve them.

I already write a gratitude journal and write the three things each day I am grateful for but I need more focus.  A focus on being positive and staying positive.  My gratitude journal is a reflection of the day, it doesn’t let me plan on how to more grateful or positive.

I find I achieve more if I hold myself publicly accountable – so I will be sharing my three goals each week and the following week I will also share how I achieved them.

My three goals for this week:

1.  I will produce a list of daily things I need to do – I think about this a lot, a sort of checklist of daily “to do” but I never get round to doing it.  I have friends who swear by them for household chores (hoover, washing, etc) and other friends who use them for their blogs and businesses (post to Instagram, Pinterest, schedule a Tweet, etc).  So I will come up with a list of things I need to do each day and get a tad more organised.  Seeing this produced will make me feel positive (and probably wanting a few more hours in the day)
2. I will organise a coffee catch up with a friend I haven’t seen for a few months.  This will make me feel positive.
3. I will listen to my “Thinking Slimmer” Slim Pod every day – I know it helps me and then I find reasons excuses for not having time to listen.  It’s 8 minutes but yes, I can still say I don’t have time!  Listening to this, stops me picking and makes me want to be more active so this will make me positive.

What about you?
