Week 2 Complete

I'm on week 2 of the Winning the Game of Money 12 week program.  What has changed?  What has improved?  What hasn't?

Although eating isn't a part of the Winning the Game of Money program, the focus on developing good habits and setting goals helped me to dive into the Autoimmune Paleo diet.  It has become much easier than I expected to develop meal plans that exclude dairy, grains, nightshades, peanuts, eggs, preservatives and legumes.  Now, I simply focus on vegetables and meats.  I rotate my favorites throughout the week and I experiment with different recipes.  I discovered that I love sweet potato fries (which are an exception to the nightshade group because they are not in the solanace family and don't cause the gut irritation).

I found a telemarketing position that I can do in my down time instead of watching television or surfing the internet!  I actually just did my first half hour of calls yesterday.  It was pretty discouraging, but I'm going to figure out how to keep my spirits up and enjoy it.  I have some sales audios from Think Right Now that are supposed to propel you towards sales success.

I started planning my days better.  Following through on the plan is something that still needs work, but you don't always change overnight.  I still have ten weeks in this program to start hitting sales goals.

The other great thing is that I started this blog!  I have blogged for 14 days straight.  While that doesn't gain me a huge following and I'm not going to earn money off this affiliate link without people clicking on it, it does help me refine my blogging skills and get back into writing.

To close out each and every blog post, I share three things that I am grateful for today.  Showing gratitude improves mood and self-esteem.  A daily habit trains you to be more focused on the good things in you life, so here we go:

1. Grateful for the telemarketing job opportunity even if I didn't like making phone calls yesterday.
2. Grateful for my ability to learn daytrading and succeed in that area
3. Grateful for my blog as a method of reflecting on what I'm learning and solidifying new knowledge that will propel me to success!
