Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to change things and make them better than we discount (or even discard) what is genuinely working. On this 28th day of your charmed-life journey, bring to mind—and ideally write down on paper—what is working in your life today and what has worked in the past that may work again. Then be sure that you’re focusing on and cooperating with all that’s moving you forward, and consider reinstating certain practices that you’ve let go of that may stand you in good stead yet again.
In my life, the things that are working include:
- Sticking with a high-raw diet, modified a bit for the colder weather
- Working on book proposal every day
- Being part of a business action group
- Improving the feng shui and vibrational health of my home
Things I need to revise/revamp/reinstate include:
- Getting a new weight lifting program that won’t exacerbate my neck injury
- Having a set time of day to check in with my gratitude buddy
Be grateful for everything you’ve figured out that makes your life hum along swimmingly. The more you use what you’ve got, the more you’ll get.

I was just thinking about this. Good idea.

What’s working for me is writing my screenplay on the weekends — headed towards the finish line! I’m stepping up my workouts and weaning myself off of chicken/turkey. I’m drinking green tea instead of decaf coffee (went from regular coffee to decaf to tea). Thanks for reminding us to look at what is working versus what is not working in our lives. It’s important to “congratulate” yourself instead of beating yourself up!

What’s working for me:
1) vegan diet
2) drinking herbal tea (and sometimes black or green) over coffee
3) getting more exercise/dancing more
4) Keeping my home tidy and clean
5) doing a lot of “soul goal” planning and taking steps, however small
