Day 7

Today we channel our inner badass. Picture the icon of badass that most inspires you to shed your weakling tendencies. It could be anyone from Aeon Flux to John Wayne. But these people make the base of your gut feel like you want to conquer any challenge. You even want people to challenge you with how much you can take on. For me, I have Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill. I have a picture of her on my desktop. I enjoy her so much as my icon of badass. Not only can she take care of herself, but she has discipline, training, and the perseverance to stick to a long-term, difficult goal. Whenever I need the gumption to forget my clingy hang-ups and destructive circles, I can pretend I am Beatrix Kiddo, and suddenly I don't have the same set of weaknesses. Suddenly I have discipline, training, and perseverance. Doughnuts? Screw doughnuts. I am the deadliest woman in the world, and I need to go work on my Kung Fu.
