The Inner Trip: 30 Day Transformation

How the Inner Trip Came to Be

It’s January 21 – a month from my return to Santa Fe, New Mexico from India.  What a whirlwind time.  I learned so much about myself from that adventure that it’s taken me several weeks to put it all together.

I’ll start by saying that I wasn’t myself completely in India.  I now consider that 10 day trip as my “translation” experience.  I was constantly trying to translate the “appropriateness” of activities and events in terms of –well, this is India, right?  As if what works for me in my life somehow changes according to the geographic latitude.  Yet, that’s exactly what I found myself doing, a lot.  Situations, people and experiences that I would have never entertained here in the States suddenly became interesting and attractive because, well, this is INDIA, right?

Anyway, after figuring out my translation issue and also factoring in that I wanted to have an interesting blog, I realized that I started doing a lot of things that I don’t normally do and I stopped doing many of the things that make my life special.

So, enough of that.  I’m back to my full self and I’m ready to make this year quite exceptional.  I like to write my dreams and wishes down and I spend a significant amount of time “coaching” myself.  My life has fairly little drama and I must say: my husband is fantastic; my kids are great; and I love my job. 

So, with that being said, I’ve decided to go on another SpaNomad Adventure.  This time without leaving home.  I’m going to go on an Inner Trip in my own mind and see what happens. 2009 showed me phenomenal results so far with my methods.  I’m pretty eager to see what 2010 will do.

Here’s the plan.  For the next 30 days I will write for 30 minutes each day about the good things in life, things I consider to be good.  For 30 minutes each day I will train myself to see and evoke wonderful, positive, beautiful things.  I’ve always wanted to do a 30 day something.  This is it.

I’ve heard 21 days of anything can be life-changing.  Well, 30 minutes for 30 days.  That’s my plan.  Join me if you will.  I’ll update you on my progress (meaning results) and share with you my dominant focus for the day.

I’m actually on day 2 today (January 21) and so far, I’m thrilled with what’s happened.  Read on to find out my surprising results….\

Love,
