Woke up extra early today and just laid and focused on how I want this Friday to look. It helps not reaching for the phone first thing but that is the first time I have actually laid there and mapped out how my day will look and how I will show up.

Yesterday's video pushed me over the 50 subscriber mark for YouTube and now I can go Live over there... Thank you 🙏 to those subscribers. Some real traction happening 💪

It has to be that this is Day 17 of my reinvention at 51 and keeping my thoughts and mind focused is getting harder. It's bound to happen but I have the awareness to recognize it and the determination to dig deeper to keep growing and becoming "better". If this were easy everyone would do it!

This won't be impressive to some but for me at 51 this is awesome.... YouTube is taking off for me ... Last 2 YouTube shorts over 1000 views each in first 24 hours, comments,.likes but even more joyful - subscribers! Not 1000s of subscribers but 3 or 4 .. but it brings me to 46 in total and at 50 I can go YouTube Live!! For me this is huge and a real win toward building this reinvention community as something real and meaningful.. 😊 🥂

I know that today I am struggling with my thinking. My mind is being unkind telling me that my progress is not real. I have the awareness to sit down and go through my Dr. Thurman Fleet exercise (see Clarity Reset E-Book in Classroom section.) 1. Inventory my negative thoughts 2. Ceremoniously get rid of them .. box X through the list, crumple the page and garbage the list etc.. 3. Replace those thoughts with positive, self growth thoughts and keep repeating my mantra - "my name is John Lusted and amazingly good things happen to me every day. Every day in every way I am getting better and better. I can think, I can create and I can do whatever I set me mind to".
