For the last few years I've been trying to pick a word or phrase for me to focus on for the New Year. Sadly, I never find my inspiration right at the new year. As is the case this time. But, I've found my word(s): the 3 C's.
A friend shared this idea of the 3 C's. It's based on Dale Carnegie's teachings (check it out here.) At first I scoffed, but it stuck in my head and wouldn't let go. I'm really anxious to see how it will change ME.
The challenge is to NOT: Criticize, Condemn, Complain. Can you imagine your day not doing any of these things??? How will it affect relationships??? Can you imagine this with kids??? Or seeing your kids focus on the 3 C's challenge for themselves??? Just the negativity that will leave your thoughts and world. The goal is to go 21 days avoiding the 3 C's. Each time I fall, I change which arm my bracelet is on. My friend said the person that inspired him did accomplish the 21 day goal ... it took him 10 months. Ha! I'll see if I can accomplish such a feat this year.

What a great theme for your year! I love it! Carnegie really was a genius. My older boys read some of his stuff, I think it is time to introduce him to my younger kids. I should take on this challenge myself, but I know I won't make it through the last weeks of this pregnancy without complaining.
So interesting Kim...I can't wait to hear how it goes!
I totally need to work on this! I have a feeling it might even take me more than 10 months :)
