create and maintain a Victory File

This feel by the wayside long ago. But I think at a time like this, it would be good for me to bring this back to life…I don’t know if really have any victories to add right now though.

This is not a new year’s resolution, but in the new year, I will physically make a file and start getting this worked on. The reason I say in the new year is because my room is a disater right now, and working 40 hours a week, I know it wont be in passable condition to where Id even want to THINK about brining another object in until after the holidays are over.

and at a time like this, I really need a boost. I need to work on my file….badly

I think the first step is to get back on track in deciding what I want to put in the file…then I can decide how the “file” itself will look.

I’m already planning on making this sort of show and tell victory type folder for my internship and all the things I did. You wouldnt believe all the stuff I saved. Yikes!

My subgoal (since I have no room on my list) is to start collecting things for my VF. This week, I’ve suffered many personal failures, so I need to search deep…way down deep…I’m sure I have some small victory somewhere that will make me smile and forget some of the events of this week

Did I spell accentuate right? I don’t think I’ve ever written that word down before.

Anyway, I somehow stumbled upon the following article at Lifetimetv.com (I say stumbled b/c it’s not a site I’d really surf to on my own). http://www.lifetimetv.com/reallife/health/features/boost_confidence.html

Aside from things like “faking it” (which is kind of something Deni has mentioned before) the article suggests creating a Victory File. In a sense, because of all the stuff I tend to save naturally, this shouldnt be too hard to start going.

The only thing left to decide is what the file should be – a shoe box, one of those plastic shoe boxes, a cardboard box, one of those files that you keep bills and stuff in…hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.
