The Think Different Challenge is all about finding something in your life you currently have negative thoughts or feelings toward (eg work or your mother-in-law), and deciding to look at it differently. It is about realizing that some things are just a part of life, so we may as well try to find the positives in them.
The rules for this writing project are:
- Write a new blog post in which you “think different”. Follow my suggestions above, or be a bit different and interpret the challenge the way you want
. - State that the post is a part of the Think Different Challenge and include a link and/ or trackback to this post so that readers know the rules of the challenge. Feel free to use the above banner (inspired, of course, by Seth Godin).
- Include a link and/ or trackback to the blogger who tagged you.
- At the end of your post, go ahead and tag some fellow bloggers. Don’t forget to email them to let them know they have been tagged.
- That’s it! Just sit back and enjoy reading peoples’ responses to the challenge.
Okay--so I was NOT tagged for this little experiment. I found this on a blog called, I WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Here is what I'm choosing to think differently about: My complete and total lack of money at this point. I COULD think, "Oh crap! I'm broke again! Now I can't go out and have fun with David (who is also broke since he has to get 11,000--yes, you read correctly, worth of work done on his teeth)! I can't go out for coffee! I can't get to the spa and that sucks! Instead I'm going to think:
- I can finish some of the books I have been wanting to read since I'm staying at home
- I can experiment with some cooking
- I can paint my nails
- I can go for a walk
- I can relax with my hunny

Thanks for the tag! I'll have to "think" about this for a while!LOL!!!!
I'm still recovering from the Christmas wine stunt:(
I can say one thing I'm thinking different about already.
Benazir Bhutto's assassination has me regretting all the hateful stuff I have directed at Mrs Hillary Rodham!
I need to be more loving and forgiving!
Oooooooh! Thanks for this! What a great idea!
P.S. Happy New Year!
Uncivil--I look forward to seeing what you choose to think about! ;-) Benazir Bhutto's assassination has got me thinking too. She seemed like such a wonderful, caring person who wanted to do big things.
C--let me know when you post yours! I look forward to reading it!
Rachel- You're so amazing. This is going to be really hard for me due to the mood I'm in. Tomorrow I'm unemployed and my dad and I fought today. I know there are bigger things to think about, but right now I feel really small. I hope you have a peaceful New Year. You know where to find me. XO
Can I just start this myself? I don't need to be tagged first do I - but I will link back to this post.
haven't done this tagging thing before but think this is a gret one to start the new year!

Hi Gail! Yes, of course!!!! I can't wait to read yours!!!!!
Rachie, I love the approach you took for your Think Different(ly) Challenge! I went about mine slightly differently. I don't know if it works as well as yours does, but I did it anyway.
Happy New Year, Rachie! xo
