082511 - It's easy to get sidetracked

Sunday I accomplished so much and now I've slacked off the last 3 days.  In my defense, I've been babysitting my 2 wonderful granddaughters but that shouldn't keep me from getting my 15 minutes in.  I think I prefer working when I anticipate I can go as long as I want.  (Wrong thinking!)  If I can spend 5 minutes at a time then I'm still making progress.


What's my biggest challenges?  Definitely BOOKS and papers!  I have to look at every single piece of paper to be sure it's not something I want to add to future scrapbooking pages.  (Yes, this is where I wish I could just dump out all the paper I have but I'm not at the point - yet!)


I was talking to my therapist today and mentioned how I collect 3 scrapbooking items: tee shirts, mugs and novels.  She asked if I would consider just collecting one and have a really nice collection of one specific item.  Oh ... my anxiety went sky high.  I took a deep breathe and said, "Yes, I 'll consider it".  I admitted I didn't like it though.  Ohhhh, I think that's very telling, I'm not exactly sure what.  I guess that I do have more resistance in "letting go" then I thought I would.  Hmmm, that's interesting.

Have you done your 15 minutes today?
