Our first assignment to earn your best HEALTH GRADE is to find a
Positivity Partner. You will have to be accountable to this person and
the same for them. This person will help motivate you, give you that
quick kick in the butt, and be there with kind and encouraging words.
Prep
Step 1:
Find someone who is ready and willing to improve and earn a great HEALTH GRADE.
--This person can be a parent, a sibling, a best friend, a co-worker, etc.
Step 2:
Set up a schedule to chat (verbally) with this person daily for
5-10 minutes, preferably in the morning. For this assignment it’s best
to talk to the person in the morning. For future assignments, the
optimum time of the day may vary.
Step 3:
Get a
small journal, something small enough to carry on you throughout the
day. It’s just for jotting down quick notes. If you want to write an
essay that’s up to you, but you may want to keep a separate journal for
that.
--The first entry in the Positivity Journal should have:
~Your name, the start date of the assignment (Oct 1, 2012), list your personal spiritual goal(s):
~These goals can be: happiness, success, inner peace, better relationships, more energy, etc.
Get going on this assignment
1) Every MORNING journal 5 positive things. They can be anything
you want, things that happened already or things that you wish to
happen.
2) Call your Positivity Partner and tell him/her those 5 positive things. He/she should do the same with you.
3) Say how great your day is going to be and wish the same for your Positivity Partner.
4) After your chat, journal how you feel in that moment. Keep the
Positivity Journal with you all day. You can glance at it if you are
feeling down or write more positive things that happened to you that
day. *Note* after a while you may have a noticeably greater number of
positive things going on in your life than before. It may be more than
the 5 things you share with your Positivity Partner, so it may not be
easy to pick the top 5.
5) At the end of October, you
should have 155 positive things to share in your Positivity Journal and
pages full of positive feelings, changes, and experiences.
6)
On the following check-in dates, write in your journal the changes
you have noticed in yourself and your Positivity Partner. Each date
send a brief email with the changes to me at
chicagoherbshop@gmail.com
to be counted for your grade.
